When I was younger I memorized Philippians 4:6, which said in my version, “Be anxious about nothing.” I remember thinking, “Wow! I have that one down pat! I’m anxious about nothing all the time!” For a long time I had that verse on a refrigerator magnet in my kitchen, and I would often giggle about how it was my life verse, because I felt constantly anxious over things.
But you know, I don’t think that’s what God intended for that verse 
It has since been translated as “Be anxious FOR nothing” or “IN nothing.” Which isn’t nearly as funny for a life verse.
Choosing curriculum is an anxiety-ridden endeavor. But here is what the entire verse says in Philippians 4:6-7. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all your understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
If God were speaking slowly, I think he would say something like:
“Don’t be afraid.
Pray.
Ask Me.
Be Thankful.
Talk to Me.
Have peace.
I know more than you do.
Keep the faith.”
