Anxiety and the Peace of God

What Scripture actually says about worry — and the peace it offers instead

4 min read Free preview Christian Living

Introduction

Anxiety is not a sign that your faith has failed. Scripture treats it as something honest people carry — and then offers something specific to do with it.

The promise at the center of this study is not that you'll stop feeling anxious. It's that a peace you cannot manufacture will stand guard over you while you do.

Scripture

Philippians 4:6–7

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

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.
