G-d is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble

Psalm 46:1

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell G-d what you need, and thank Him for all he has done. Then you will experience G-d’s Shalom (Peace), which exceeds anything we can understand. His Shalom (Peace) will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Yeshua HaMashiach (Christ Jesus)

Philippians 4:6-7
