Nice post my man, here's some Bible verses and a bit of my thoughts for anyone who is stressing and worrying during these troubling times.
Issiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."
Don't go asking God to make it so there are only good things in your life, as how do you even know what is good except in relation to what is bad? Also our understanding of the world is very shallow, who's to say what actions are truly good and truly bad, the broken leg that is bad today might be the greatest thing ever when the military starts drafting people for an unjust war the next day. Likewise you cannot have a state of affairs where only bad things happen, as what is bad is always in relation to what is good. Given this state of affairs, what's the big worry about? And if that's not enough then:
Matthew 6:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Do not worry about the future as the future only exists as a thought in this present moment. If we constantly stress about our previous actions and constantly worry about what the future will bring we never truly experience the magnificence of life simply as it is.
Truly there is nothing to worry about in life, all we need to do is discover that everything we could ever need or possibly want is available to us right now in this present moment. Like Jesus we must discover and come to accept our Union with God, rather than pushing God away and seeking him in whatever you consider to be good, find God in all things and that includes yourself.
