God can do anything. He is all powerful. Omnipotent.
God could keep His promise that Abraham would have an heir, from his own body, through Sarah, his wife who was almost as old as Abraham, when they were both in their nineties.
Then the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh at me and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son."
~Genesis 18:13-14
God made substance out of nothing, creating the heavens and the earth.
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. ~Jeremiah 32:17
God himself said,
I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? ~Jeremiah 32:27
The angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would bear the Holy Son of God, and brought news that elderly, barren Elizabeth would also give birth to a miracle baby in her old age. Gabriel said:
For nothing is impossible with God. ~Luke 1:37
Jesus explained to His disciples how very difficult it is for a prideful rich man to enter the Kingdom of God--harder than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. And, yet . . .
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
~Mark 10:21 (also in Matthew 19:26)
When a father desperately sought help from Jesus for his demon possessed son, he made the mistake of asking, "If you can do anything . . . "
" 'If you can?' " said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
~Mark 9:23
God is able to do whatever He wills to do.
Our God is in heaven. He does whatever pleases Him.
~Psalm 115:3
If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if He does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.
~Daniel 3:17-18
This is my God, the Almighty Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth. I am thankful for Him.
To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
~Jude 1:24-25

That was beautiful. Thanks for the reassurance. Why do I worry?
I have to admit, it felt good to collect all these Bible verses into one place and look at them all together. Fortifying. Why DO we worry? I read a quote from Spurgeon where he said, "We know not which most to wonder at, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of His people. He keeps His promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt Him."
Like Peter when he stepped out of the boat onto the water, we need to keep our eyes on our Lord's face.
