Anxiety is one of the most common struggles believers bring to God, and Scripture speaks to it directly. Rather than dismissing worry, the Bible acknowledges it and offers a better way: casting our cares on God because he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul urges us not to be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer with thanksgiving, to make our requests known to God, promising that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Jesus himself spoke to anxious hearts in Matthew 6:34, reminding us that our Father already knows what we need and that today has enough of its own concerns. He invites the weary and burdened to come to him and find rest (Matthew 11:28). These Bible verses about anxiety do not promise a life free of difficulty, but they do promise God's nearness and a peace that holds steady within it.
The verses and free sermons on this page explore how to trade worry for trust, through prayer, thanksgiving, renewing the mind, and resting in God's promises.
