Scripture reveals that God sees our anxiety and invites us to exchange our worries for His peace through prayer and trust in His provision.
Scripture on Anxiety
Philippians 4:6-7
New Testament
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Matthew 6:25-26
New Testament
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Psalm 94:19
Old Testament
"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."
Isaiah 41:10
Old Testament
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
1 Peter 5:7
New Testament
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
The Bottom Line
Your anxiety is too heavy for you to carry, but not too heavy for God to hold.

Prayer
Jesus taught us to bring our concerns to the Father, saying 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened' (Matthew 11:28).
Father, You know the anxious thoughts that race through my mind and the fears that grip my heart. You are sovereign over every circumstance that worries me, and nothing catches You by surprise. I confess that I often try to carry burdens You never intended for me to bear. Help me trust Your provision and Your timing, casting my cares on You because You care for me. Replace my anxiety with Your peace that surpasses understanding. In Jesus' name, Amen.
