The Bible affirms that God is fundamentally good, a reliable shepherd and stronghold who cares deeply for those who trust him. Even amid hardship, believers can rest in his provision, knowing he works all things for good and holds thoughts of peace toward them. This goodness is inseparable from vulnerability—casting worries on him, acknowledging him in all ways, and tasting his faithfulness—transforms anxiety into confidence and rejoicing.
Psalm 23:1-6
Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
