Bible verses for anxiety and worry

Worry has a way of getting louder at night, when there is nobody to tell. These are verses people come back to when their thoughts will not settle. Read one slowly. You do not have to feel calm first.

  1. “In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 thoughts in Christ Jesus.”
    Philippians 4:6-7
  2. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.”
    1 Peter 5:6-7
  3. “Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.”
    Matthew 6:34
  4. “In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.”
    Psalm 94:19
  5. “You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.”
    Isaiah 26:3
  6. “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.”
    John 14:27
  7. “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they? Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?”
    Matthew 6:25-27
