It is found instead in the profound and active surrender of one's anxieties to the divine care, a placing of complete trust in the steadfastness of God's promises. This reliance cultivates an inner peace, a fortification of the spirit against the inevitable uncertainties of life. Such security is a gift received through faith, a dwelling in the shadow of the Almighty, where one's true refuge and strength are eternally found. Let this understanding deepen your dependence on Him, the source of all true and lasting safety.
