Worry is one of the areas of my Christian walk that I struggle continuously with. I am always needing to read scriptures and be reminded that God has asked us not to worry but to trust Him completely. It is this reassurance and these Bible verses about worry that help during stressful times or times filled with anxiety. I would ask you to say a prayer before reading these that God uses them to speak to you today.
What did Jesus Say About Worry?
Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.“
Luke 12:25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Worry Bible Verses- All About Peace

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved
Worry Bible Scriptures Mentioning Anxiety
Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Worry Verses Say Do Not Fear
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Isaiah 43:1-3 But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Hebrews 13:6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

A week ago today my children were taken from me and placed in his care. At first I was looking at my situation like why me? I’m a good parent. But now I see that that was Godonly way to reach out to me to have faith in him and not the World. Instead of stressing and worrying about how my court date will be Wednesday if I can get my kids back, I am thankful and not worrying. God spared my life from destruction and these scriptures made me realize don’t worry, have Faith the Righteous shall prevail. Thank You for these spiritual reminders in my time of trial!

Thank you. I need this. So afraid. Can’t seem to make myself call and schedule needed surgery. Going back to reread and meditate on Gods word.
Thank you so much for having this website. Today I was so anxious about so many things happening in the world that no one can control – I just felt overwhelmed, so I googled: “Bible verses that tell you not to worry” and your site came up. I copied down all the verses and am going to print them off to keep with me.
Thank you again so very much. Xoxo.
Thanks!! I’ve been to this website 3 times now!! Give me peace!! God is good!!!
THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGES
I’m sitting infront of a computer, trying to write an essay to a course that i failed because i had been pre-occupied about dealing with a situation in which my partner could not choose between his other partner of 3 years. i had given him a second chance after he came back begging to me saying that he had made a mistake and that i was the perfect woman he has been searching for all his life. just three days ago, i found out he had been communicating with her, saying how much he loves her, misses her and wants to marry and have kids with her. i was so angry, so hurt like nothing before in my life. He does not have much in his life and i loved him from the most bottom of my heart. I invested a lot to try and make it work the second time around. Thank you so much for these scriptures because although i know that ‘everything happens for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose’ Romans 8:28,…being treated like this just simply hurts and the fact that it has happened around the time when this important essay is due means I can only look up to God to get me through. Thanx again for the scriptures, quotes, messages and comments.
The verses you are organizing and offering to us are so helpful. Plz keep on doing.
God bless you all abundantly
God always has a way to give us a little jolt when our fears start to overwhelm us. From a youth, I was a worrier. I’ve always believed in God, was raised in a loving Christian family, my brother’s a pastor, but I still find myself falling prey to worry, even though I know in my heart that God’s Will is what will actually happen. Having these Bible verses about worry hit me back to a reality check that “worry” can actually be considered a sin.
Right on the button. Thank you so much for creating this website. I copied my favorite bible verses about worry in old fashioned cursive – it was so comforting and filled me with peace and joy. God Bless You!
Got on the web looking for a verse and wow I found
your blog, what a blessing. Here’s one I’ve found encourging in the past and continue to stand on. Psalm 112:7-8 TLB He does not fear bad news nor live
in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in
his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. That is why
he is not afraid but can calmly face his foes.
thank you very very much for this wonder bible verses. it really reminded me how to keep my fath in christ who died to save us. I thank God for giving us his only begotten son to die for my salvation.

Josh, going through some tough times and had fallen away from my faith. These verses are really helping to renew my faith. Thank you and God Bless!
What a revelation to know that God is not only aware of who you are but what you are. You are more precious than diamonds to Him. He loves you and disregards anything you have done or even thought about. Take some time to read Psalm 139 and He will reveal His amazing love for you if you will just look for it. God bless you and yours. With love and grace, Ken
in 2006 I apply for childcare for daycare services that my wife in I could not afford with CCIS . when I apply no one explain to me from CCIS that I had to report that I was marry. We had 2daughters that need this service to prepare them for school when they reach kenteguarded . in 2013 CCIS Ask me was I marry in I stated yes. they ask me for my wifes pay studs in I gave them to caseworker. CCIS stated that we were overpay because we make to much money.Than they cancel my 4yr old daughter daycare services in they stated we were over paid from 2006 when I apply in this matter will be turn over to inspector general office . my wife I in I never broke in laws in our life but they make it seem like we did. the worry from this is heavy, thinking they will put us in jail in take our kids. I brought this burden to GOD in I know he did bring us this far In life for something like this to happen. please pray for my family. My wife in I have volunteer with youth in our city in church for over 45yrs among both of us. her 25yrs and me 22 yrs.
David, I will pray for your family. I can’t imagine having to go to jail for such a thing. You’ll get thru it. Just trust in God to take care of you and if you delight in Him, even during your trials, He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37).
In times of distress, anxiety & worries, it’s God’s word whom we can rely not the conformity of this world. Indeed in Him all things are possible. May God bless you & more words of wisdom, strength & comfort you can share to others.. keep up the good works of this site..
I’ve recently created a facebook page for people to share their prayer requests and thanksgivings. I try to post nuggets of His truth to my page daily in hopes of bringing hope and peace to those who need it (sometimes just because I need it). I copied and pasted your link, along with a scripture to the facebook page. I hope many of my friends will enjoy your page as much as I am. God bless you for spreading His word! So many are searching for it right now in this crazy world we live in! Thank you!
I remember when I signed a contract to a non-given-salary-evangelistic institution since year 2000, to work as a full time evangelist to university students in a local city where I live now. I questioned myself, what if my donors sign out their commitments and leave me with no other support? Just last 3week ago, two of my donors resigned and I needed new potential donors to support my ministry back home. I was a bit frustrated, though, yet God truly has been a faithful God in every circumstance of my life. Instead of grumbling out of this tough situation, I was reminded that God, the Jehovah Jireh would neither leave me nor forsake me. I claimed God’s solemn Word to comfort me. Now, I feel secure, still with no donors yet. But this ministry is God’s given gift, so, He is the One who will solely meet my needs. I am His servant, He will spare my life for the harvest of the souls. Hakuna Matata, no worry for the rest of the days. Sabrina. Evangelist, Bandung, West Java Indonesia.
I love Jesus. I loved know He is there! I need prayer for me to let go of the anxiety that has a hold of me. These messages are such a benefit to me. I whisper His name.
Well I thank God first for giving me this chance to read thru and see his glory in me rite now.I love God but the challenges are to much.so what can i do.i need help
Thank you Peter for your comment. Have you spoken with your pastor yet? That is always step one when you need counseling. Also, trust in God is of supreme importance too. Read Psalm 37. We are made stronger by our trials and tests and in our suffering we become more like Jesus Christ Who suffered more than any man ever has. I would stay in the gospel of John and 1, 2, and 3rd John. These are very encouraging my friend.
Whoever you are that posted this, thank you for just saving my life.
Denise,
I signed up for this blog a long time ago and am encouraged everytime I read a new post. Please know that I am encouraged beyond words that God has used this forum to save your life. Know that I am praying for you right this second. All things work together for good for those that love the Lord. Hang in there and hang on to God.
Wow Wow Wow!! This is amazing.
I’m a musician (Drummer) who has worried about fear, worry, panic, and being nervous, especially before I do or when im doing a gig. But after reading these great testimonies and scripture my faith has a taken a huge step.
Thank you guys. I’ll keep praying for you guys and I pray you guys can pray for me. For when 2 or 3 are gatherd I am in their Midst Mathew 18:20
Praise JESUS for he has done great things!!!!!!!
