Last year when my oldest daughter was struggling with serious anxiety issues, her therapist gave her this scripture to hold close to her heart in prayer.

Zephaniah 3:17 |
Isn’t it perfectly reassuring? When I read it for the first time last year, I smiled. These words wrap you up in God’s perfect love. We should hand over our worry to Him because He loves us.
This scripture verse was wonderfully appropriate and calming for a ten year old wrapped up in anxiety and worry. We found that it not only calmed her fears in her difficult moments, but it also soothed my soul as a mother struggling with the inability to prevent my child’s suffering.
What is your go to Bible verse when handling worry or anxiety?
Zephaniah 3:17
