“Don’t worry about anything, pray about everything. Worry is a pathway of anxiety and stress and sleepless nights. Prayer can put our hearts at ease. God’s peace will protect you if you pray about it instead of worry about it. So turn your panic into prayer, turn your worry into worship, turn your anxieties into petitions. ‘Lord, I’m troubled by this right now and I just commit it to you.‘“ – Greg Laurie, A New Beginning, October 2026
