Hello friends, welcome back. This is episode 8 of my challenge to write 52 songs this year based on the little book *52 Bible Verses forMen* by Samuel Duth. Today I'm exploring the eighth verse in the series: 1 Timothy 4:8.

The verse says, "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both this life and the life to come."

The ESV puts it this way: "For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe."

Genesis 2:19 BluesWeek 7 of writing a song each week.This week, the Lord brought the animals and birds—whatever the man named, that’s what they became.

“Even though I walk through the valley…”

This week centers on a short but powerful verse: *“Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you”* (1 Peter 5:7). At first, it may seem too brief to build a full message around. But in reality, this single line captures the heart of God’s relationship with us.

When we think about what it means to “cast” our anxieties, it means to let go completely—to place our worries, fears, and burdens into God’s hands. And the reason we can do that with confidence is simple: He truly cares for us.

Hello friends,

If you've been following along, you already know I'm trying to write a song every week. And let me just say — this is not a small task. I may be losing a little sleep over it, but I'm honestly very excited. There's something special about digging into Scripture and letting it shape a song.
