• How often do you respond this way when you have fear? What helps or hinders you?

I don’t know why, but I have often been the person who says, “Don’t worry.” Things do not easily stress me out or make me anxious, but a lot of people close to me can get anxious quickly. Believing in God does not mean you are not allowed to be scared or anxious. Faith doesn’t mean anxiety disappears. It means we don’t face it alone. This does not remove our anxieties, but helps move us through them. That’s why the words in these verses are so profound. It’s not a standard, but encouragement on how to navigate your worries with God. Next time you feel anxious, next time you feel the pressure of life build up for any reason, recite this verse.
