Trust Him.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17, ESV
Through the Holy Spirit and by the power of the Son’s sacrifice and resurrection, the Father frees us from the chains of sin and death that bind our minds, hearts, and souls, and eventually even our bodies.

Psalm 127:1, ESV
In other words, entrust your plans to God, and realize He is in control. Rest in His strength and wisdom.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Psalm 56:3, ESV
There is only One in whom we can trust fully in the pains and fears of life: Our Creator, Sustainer, and Savior. The Lord God.
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17, ESV
Our Savior God calms our tormented souls and complaining hearts through His sacrificial love, and He teaches us to sing with Joy and by His Holy Spirit.
