I've found the best prescription, as you wrote, is to stop the worries, and turn my fear to praise. It does also help to look back at what God has done in the past, it gives me faith and peace for today, and for tomorrow. I love the verse you chose to share. Praise and worship transforms the worried heart into peace. Beautiful words you shared, may the blessings of the Lord be with you! <br /><br />Blessings to you sweet Cheryl, I love this song by the Getty's. Beautiful! Thankful that He will hold me fast! Much love to you!
