"Whatever your anxieties and trials, spread out your case before the Lord. Your spirit will be braced for endurance. The way will be open for you to disentangle yourself from embarrassment and difficulty. The weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more blessed the rest in casting them upon your Burden Bearer. MH 72.1"
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
The EGW passage directly echoes the principle of Philippians 4:6, encouraging prayer and casting anxieties on God.
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Both passages address the idea of strength in weakness and relying on God's power, making it a valid thematic parallel.
"Circumstances may separate friends; the restless waters of the wide sea may roll between us and them. But no circumstances, no distance, can separate us from the Saviour. Wherever we may be, He is at our right hand, to support, maintain, uphold, and cheer. Greater than the love of a mother for her child is Christ's love for His redeemed. It is our privilege to rest in His love, to say, “I will trust Him; for He gave His life for me.” MH 72.2"
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,"
Both passages emphasize the unwavering nature of God's love and the inability of circumstances to separate believers from Him.
"Human love may change, but Christ's love knows no change. When we cry to Him for help, His hand is stretched out to save. MH 72.3"
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
The EGW passage directly reflects the unchanging nature of Christ's love, as stated in Hebrews 13:8.
"But My loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, Neither shall My covenant of peace be removed, Saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.” Isaiah 54:10 , A.R.V. MH 72.4"
"For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 54:10.
"Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail."
Both passages speak of God's lovingkindness not being taken away, but the wording is different enough that it's not a direct allusion.
