What does the Bible say about turning it over to god?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that we should entrust our worries, plans, burdens, and desire for justice to God in faith, while continuing to obey Him in the responsibilities He gives us. Philippians 4:6-7 and 1 Peter 5:7 call believers to bring anxiety to God in prayer, trusting His peace and care. Psalm 55:22 likewise urges us to cast our burden on the Lord, who sustains His people. Turning matters over to God does not mean passivity: Proverbs 16:9 reminds us to plan humbly under His providence, and Romans 12:19 forbids personal vengeance. Christ invites the weary to find rest in Him in Matthew 11:28-30, for He is unchanging and faithful.
