1 Peter 5:7 NIV. The passage reminds us that God cares for us, and we need this reminder especially in time of suffering or sorrow. Psalm 46:1 says that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Last year easter, I travelled to Scotland for a funeral of a granny at Church who in many ways reminded me of my mum, as in her faith, love and care. And amid my questions - but why, but we prayed..., I felt encouraged by Scriptures in 1 Peter 5:7 and Proverbs 3:5-6. This year, I travelled to Nigeria for my mum's funeral. And again, I was back to God with questions - but why, but we prayed..., a very similar journey to last year. During the season, I was encouraged by Scriptures in Hebrews 12:2-3 and 2 Corinthians 4:10-18. Scriptures again and again encourages us to look to God who cares for us: 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Proverbs 5:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart...He will direct your path.
