SCRIPTURES


 He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the
lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently
lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11 ESV


Behold, he who keeps Israel


    will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4
ESV


Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am
gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
ESV


But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let
the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs
the kingdom of God. Mark 10:14 ESV


“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be
anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:34 ESV


“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what
you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what
you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more
than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor
reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by
being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why
are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:25-29 ESV
