Would anyone be willing to share their favorite scriptures that they read/meditate on when dealing with sickness/fear?

Thanks!

PHILLIPIANS 4: 6-7
6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God
7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus

Awwww....I'm at work so I cant access U-Tube and my laptop at home is VERY tempermental so I cant rely on it. But thank you...if the lyrics arent long could you write them out? Does it encourage you more from the melody or the words?

OK!!! My system at home is working (thank you Jesus) so I can hear the song. I love this song as well! I have a CD where this guy sings it (Darwin Hobbs...black guy) and it is awesome!!

Thank you for reminding me of something I had forgotten.

What I think about is in all situations is verses that say For God so loved,and such because it's comforting to know that during trying times God still loves us ,His love and concern doesn't change with our circumstances.

I am glad you were able to listen to it. The combination of the music and the lyrics are very meaningful to me. I suffer from many phobias, panic & anxiety attacks. There is something about fear that strips you of everything else you might think of holding onto, until there is nothing left but you and God.
