Cindy Jantzi contributed this verse, “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall” (verse 22). Cindy wrote, “This verse has meant a lot to me since I had mono in University which caused me to miss half a term and final exams. I questioned why God would allow this to happen to me and continue to the point of missing exams. I questioned if I was to stay in school. If this was what God intended for me or if this was His way of redirecting my life. Then I found this verse. It has become my mantra during stressful times. If I believe, God will take care of me – what a relief!”
