What does the Bible say about worry?

Biblical Answer

Jesus directly addressed worry, commanding His followers not to worry. Worry is a failure to trust God's provision. Worrying can't add a single hour to our lives; it only robs us of peace. Instead Scripture encourages bringing anxieties to God through prayer. Overcoming worry involves redirecting focus from problems to God's faithfulness, from fear to prayer.

Key Scriptures

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God.

Matthew 6:34 Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
