Bible Verses for Anxiety & Worry

King James Version (KJV)

Anxiety can feel overwhelming — the racing thoughts, the what-ifs, the weight of uncertainty. Yet throughout Scripture, God repeats the same message: "Do not be afraid." These Bible verses for anxiety offer a grounding reminder that you are held by a God who neither slumbers nor sleeps.

From Philippians 4:6-7 to Isaiah 41:10, the Bible is full of verses that speak directly to worry and fear. They are not platitudes but promises — invitations to bring your anxieties to God in prayer and receive a peace that surpasses all understanding.
