Today, let us remember that God's love is a powerful force that can overcome anxiety. Reflect on the depth of His love for you, knowing that it casts out all fear. When you feel anxious, lean on His love and trust that He is with you, guiding your steps.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your unfailing love. Help me to trust in your love, knowing that it casts out fear. Fill me with your peace and calm my anxious thoughts. In Jesus' name, amen.

Day 2: Seeking God's Presence Scripture:

Day 5: Casting Your Cares on God Scripture:

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
