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 5:7casting 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?”

Thank you!
Had been worrying about a 19 year old grandson on heroin……all of a sudden, after reading the scriptures on worry, the idea that I was commiting sin hit me like a ton of bricks! I knew better but had to read these scriptures again to recognize my sin. Praying for him is much more effective than worrying! Thank you!
Worrying is a way of this world. Specially when we tend to focus so much on earthly things that we worry and not Trust God. I do it a lot but reading through God’s word again lifts up the anxiety and reminds me then again to trust Him more…

My wife and are being sued by her parents and brother since
July 2011. It is over the family biz we purchased in 2006. This
is our 3 rd lawsuit by them in 5 yrs. It has been the most trying grinding, annoying, angering, emotionally and financially draining process in life we have ever bTeen thru. At the end of the day the only place we find solace is in the bible with verses about; worry, hope, strength, fear etc. This has been a God send, no pun intended, to continue day to day and maintain our family unit. “This too shall pass”. God bless!!
Just an update, I worry still but am trying not as much. It is difficult. I’m reading my bible for encouragement. I still have a roof over my head and food on my table, family that supports each other, and understands our situation. Should I be praying for more?
AMEN Lucy, You have more than our own Lord had when he walked this Earth. Look for an article tomorrow about Anxiety and pay special attention to the verses at the end. This is only our temporary dwelling, better times are coming. Jesus staked His life on this fact. I pray you are blessed Lucy, thanks for the update honey , I am praying for you and your situation.
