Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Oración, gratitud y la paz de Dios están en el centro del pasaje.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee.

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
El consuelo de Dios puede llegar en medio de muchos pensamientos.
