What does the Bible say about worrying?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that believers need not be ruled by worry, because their heavenly Father knows their needs, cares for them, and works all things for their good. In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus calls His people to seek first God's kingdom and trust Him for daily provision. Philippians 4:6-7 directs Christians to bring every anxiety to God in prayer, with thanksgiving, and promises His guarding peace in Christ. First Peter 5:6-7 urges humble dependence by casting all cares on Him, for He cares personally for His people. Though troubles remain, Christ gives a peace unlike the world's, and His sovereign love steadies fearful hearts.
