Scriptures for Overcoming Worry and Anxiety
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not fret or have any anxiety
about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and
petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants
known to God.
7 And God's peace [shall be
yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ,
and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of
whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall
garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. AMP
Psalms 86:7
In the day of my trouble I will
call upon You, for You will answer me. NKJV
Matthew 6:31-34
31 Therefore do not worry and be
anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to
have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
32 For the Gentiles (heathen)
wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows well that you need them all.
33 But seek (aim at and strive
after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and
being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you
besides.
34 So do not worry or be anxious
about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own.
Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. AMP

called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God
always]. AMP

shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge;

shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste
at noonday.

shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you
shall trample underfoot.

long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” NKJV
