There are two lovely little verses in Philippians 4:5-6 that give us the wonderful secret of the peace of God.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God, And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
I also like this quote by C. H. Spurgeon:
"Worry, if carried to excess, has the nature of sin in it. The precept to avoid worry is repeated frequently by our Saviour. It is a principle which cannot be neglected without involving transgression. We labor as if He were unable or unwilling to take it for us. He who cannot calmly leave his affairs in God's hand may be tempted to use wrong means to help himself. If we cast each burden, as it comes, on Him, and we are 'careful for nothing' because He undertakes to care for us, it will keep us close to Him."
Remember --- "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength."
