Jesus watches over you very carefully

*Quotes from Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Bible

Just remember, in the midst of wild waves of worries and concerns, that Jesus “watches over you very carefully” (1 Peter 5:7).

Are you this steadfast soul “committed and focused” on Him?

Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flieth,
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord, in Thee.”
― Harriet Beecher Stowe (PIC →)

– Isaiah 26:3  Amplified Bible
“You will keep in ^[a]perfect and constant peace
the one whose mind is steadfast
[that is, committed and focused on You
—in both ^[b]inclination and character],
Because he trusts
and takes refuge in You
[with hope
and confident expectation].

– 1 Peter 5:7   Amplified Bible
^“…casting all your cares
[all your anxieties,
all your worries, and
all your concerns,
once and for all]
on Him,
for He cares about you
[with deepest affection,
and watches over you very carefully]. 

Nothing can separate us from our salvation, “though pressured in every way”…

Quotes from Romans 8:22-39:
²² “the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together…, our weakness, … tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword…, are killed…, regarded as sheep to be slaughtered…, death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing”

Quotes from – Verses 8-9 of 2 Corinthians 4:6-11:
⁸ We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; ⁹ hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed….” 

Verse 37 of Romans 8:22-39:

“But in all these things
we overwhelmingly conquer
through Him who loved us.”

“When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
‘Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.

Far, far beneath, the noise of tempest dieth,
And silver waves chime ever peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flieth,
Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.

So to the heart that knows Thy love, O Purest,
There is a temple sacred evermore,
And all the babble of life’s angry voices
Dies in hushed silence at its peaceful door.

Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully,
And no rude storm, how fierce soe’er it flieth,
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord, in Thee.”
