What Does the Bible Say About Worry?

Scripture reveals that worry is something God invites us to release to Him, not carry alone.

Scripture on Worry

Matthew 6:34 New Testament
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
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."
1 Peter 5:7 New Testament
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Proverbs 12:25 Old Testament
"Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up."
Psalm 55:22 Old Testament
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."
The Bottom Line
God doesn't want you managing your fears — He wants you trusting His care.
Try Today

Write down one specific worry and physically hand it to God in prayer, then leave it with Him for the next 24 hours.

Prayer

Jesus invites us to come to Him with our burdens (Matthew 11:28).

Father, You are my refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. I confess I've been carrying worries You never asked me to hold. Right now, I place this specific fear in Your hands — the one that keeps me up at night, the one that steals my peace. I trust that You care for me deeply and that nothing in my life surprises You. Help me live today well, leaving tomorrow in Your capable hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.
