The Bible says a lot about Stress, our need for Peace and gives helpful pointers and advice. Below are a few scriptures which have been helpful to me while I’ve been out of work and coming to terms with it all.
Psalm 9:10
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 55:22
22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.
Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
Matthew 6:31-34
31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
