Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesThe problems of life can indeed be taxing on us — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet, as we learn to trust in the Father’s care (1 Peter 5:7), we can have the peace that not only surpasses all understanding, but also overcomes our anxiety (Philippians 4:6).
