I find great comfort in the Bible and especially in certain verses that help me with whatever I am dealing with. I have been known to worry a time or two and the Bible is a great comforter when you are worrying. Worrying is something that women (and men!) tend to struggle with. There are so many things outside of our control that it can feel overwhelming sometimes. I have been meaning to post these verses for a while and just discovered my sheet again and wanted to post them. I figured some of you may find comfort in them. This list was compiled by Women’s Bible Cafe.

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
