20 Bible Verses About Worry, and What Jesus Told Worried People to Do
20 Bible verses about worry, read where they were said: the whole of Matthew 6, the night Paul admitted daily anxiety, and whether worrying is a sin.
Anxiety
Bible verses for anxiety, worry, panic and overthinking, each read in context: what the writer was facing and what the verse asks you to do next.
Anxiety shows up in Scripture far more often than greeting-card verses suggest. Hannah wept and could not eat, Elijah asked to die under a broom tree, and Paul wrote of being burdened beyond his strength. The posts below take those passages one at a time and look at what each writer was actually facing.
If you are new here, start with the anxiety verses that calm the mind, then go to the shorter pages for panic attacks or for thoughts that will not stop looping. Faith and good care go together: if anxiety is affecting your sleep, work or safety, talk to a doctor or counsellor as well.
