Bible Verses for Anxiety

Throughout the Bible, God tells us not to be worried or anxious. Instead to bring our worries and cares to Him. Do the two things God asks: believe Jesus is your Savior and that He died for your sins (Romans 10:9). Seek a personal relationship with God, and know that He will guide you.

The Bible says that when you seek God, you don’t even need to worry about your basic needs, such as food and clothing. God feeds the birds, and you are more valuable to Him than the birds (Matthew 6:26). He will take care of you, so you don’t need to worry about anything when you follow Him.
