The following is a list of scriptures on worry. Use them when worry and anxiety are attempting to come in. Remember, most of the time worry only means worry, and not the real probability of calamity. Fight anxiety and worry with all you have; they can lead to a loss of hope and then depression. The war is in our head. All Scriptures are from the King James Version.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Isaiah 26:3-4
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:24-34
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
I v bin facing some challenges in my health for months now, and the worst part is that all the doctors I have been to, none is diagnosing any ailment, to me they are all doing guess work. I have lived in constant fear and torment for months now, fear of the unknown, negative thoughts fill my head every now and then, and the worst part is that I feel I am not worthy of God’s healing, I pray and read the word but I don’t believe, God please help me because I have no other place or person to run to.
I have been going thru the exact same thing to the point that i need someone to go with me to my doctor’s appointments. i use to go alone but now i can’t. but i should know better than that. God is always with me and i am never alone. the doctors have not pin pointed exactly what is going on with me so this causes anxiety for me. but lately prayer & focusing on the Word has helped me get thru this period. tomorrow i get more results and only the Lord knows the entire outcome. i need to believe that whatever i am told by these doctors that the Lord has the last word. You need to believe the same thing. I know its hard but at the end of the day, who do we have to turn to?
A – I stand with you and God is with you. Be at peace and be full of God’s courage. I am believing that your ‘faith will not fail’. You will be victorious. You are healed by His work and His stripes. I speak God’s tangible mercy and peace and grace and love all over you in Jesus Name. “It is faith alone, in Christ alone, which alone moves God, when you are alone.”
To all my brothers and sisters ,continue to put your trust and faith in Christ! Every day we have to fight the enemy and his evil forces,but we are not alone,God word and holy spirit is our defense! Dont give up and Dont give in,Help is on the way! Be strong ! I love you!!!!!
I found this website and it has been a true blessing to here from other people and to get some encourgement, thank you Jesus.
It is so important to pray the word of God over your life and circumstances. Thank you for the scripture against anxiety. Satan battles our minds and our powerful weapon against him is the Word of God – It Is Written.
We must discipline our selves in spiritual discipline. God is first. We must pray to our god everyday. We must read our bible daily to feed our spirit. Trust in his word. And obey his command with our heart mind n soul .
I am frantic about a test from my doctor. I believe that christ will take care of me but I am afraid the results may not be good.
I know what you are going through. I also have to get a doc’s report this week. sometimes i feel positive and at peace; other times i panic about the results. i tell myself over and over that no matter what i hear from the doctor that the Lord will see me through it and will never leave my side. what helps me is to get out of the house and go for a drive with someone. talk about the Word and share in fellowship. ask the Lord to give you a revelation about your situation and believe me…He will.
I am facing anxiety & worry but have learned to sustain myself through His word. I face health issues, family issues. Docs say everything is normal but my fears about my health wont leave. they haunt me almost all the time. have a child with special needs who needs me so much i don’t want to face an illness. i have declared that the lord will give me peace & that i must feel His word in my spirit. i read it, i believe it, but i cant seem to apply the feeling of peace that comes from it. i will not give up and neither should you!
AB – You have to get to a place where you will no longer allow fear and anxiety to rule your life. Part of that is really getting the Word of God inside of you through reading, meditation, and confession (another form of meditation, see other notes below for links). The other part is honestly and consistently dealing with your thinking. Paul tells us that if we think upon certain thing, then God’s peace will be the result (Philippians 4:6, 7, 8, 9). It is true. It actually is hard work to change in mid-life the way one thinks, but it must be done if that old way of thinking is destructive.
Confess His Word and choose to think the thoughts worthy of peace and victory. It is not denial, but rather the choosing of a perspective of hope and faith.
Thank you. believe me…i am trying so hard to have inner peace. sometimes i feel like i see the light at the end of the tunnel that i can almost touch it. but then something grabs a hold of me & drags me back. it’s like a constant battle. but i will not give up.

I was just praying to the Lor for miracle because in 12 days, I will be homeless. I have worked hard in both school and at my jobs. Sometimes working two and three at a time, but I have still lost my home and have been laid off from work. I was looking for some encouragement and I found this site. I read the scriptures for hope and depression and I have also read the ones on this page. I THANK YOU,LORD FOR YOUR MIRACLE. To every comment on this page remember “With Gos ALL things are possible.” Iam praying for all of you.
My favorite chapter of scriptures is Psalm 27.
Be Blessed
There are times that I think that I am not worth it to hear by God because of my weaknesses and wrongdoings,,, but I am praying deep in my heart how I am going to surpass my worries and anxieties … I ask Him no to solve my problems but to lead me the way how should I solve it. I trust Him with all my heart and with all my strength… I said to myself..this is only a number/cash/money but I will take the consequences… I believe with this trials I know the meaning of Hopes and Faith…..AMEN.
Same as George here… I have a due dates of my loans but I know, there will be some way that God will mysteriously do it on His ways…I will thank Him with all my mind and souls…
I might be losing all possessions but thank God for his sure promises. He can be trusted. He will see me through this difficult time.
Thank you Father for the faith you have given me in You. Amen
I really need the lord to step in and take my burden. I am going through divorce and my wife has cleaned out the bank accounts, moved all of the furniture out of the house while I was at work, and now i am having to pay more than I can handle in child support, and daycare. i cannot pay my rent at home, I am also concerned the power and water will be turned off this week and I have my children!
His living Word of hope and promise! I definitely need this, as I am facing a 6 p.m. deadline on 3/22/11 to get my rent paid before eviction proceedings begin. God bless you for your presenting His Words of life!
Rom 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen!
Awesome.I needed these words of encouragement because I have to go to court this morning but now I know even the more he will never leave me nor foresake me and I will be leaving court on my way back to my house only having to pay court cost. I believe and trust God for
