\"Scripture.jpeg\"<\/span>
\nIn case you didn’t know and you need something to repeat the next time you wig out, scripture is full of “chill out,” “hang tight,” “I got ya covered,” and “we’re cool” verses.
\nAmong them:
\nTherefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, and they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you–you of little faith!
\n–Luke 12:22-25, 27-28
\nDo not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
\n–Luke 12:32
\nPeace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
\n–John 14:27
\nTrust in the Lord with all your heart
\nand lean not on your own understanding;
\nin all your ways acknowledge him,
\nand he will direct your paths.
\n–Proverbs 3:5-6<\/p>\n
