Favorite Bible verse and why? Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” My mind tends to overthink, and it leads to worry and anxiety. I need this verse to remind me over and over again to keep surrendering my worries to the Lord, and that God’s peace will guard my heart and mind through Jesus.
