Anxiety can feel like a storm in the mind, body and soul...and a VERY loud, overwhelming, and unpredictable one. But the Bible offers a steady anchor. God's Word doesn’t promise a life free of stress, but it does promise His presence, His peace, and His power to guard your hearts and minds in Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Here at Mosaic International, we believe the local church is the hope of the world, especially in times of fear and uncertainty. From Rwanda to South Asia, we’ve seen how God’s peace changes lives, and that peace is available to you, too.
10 Amazing Bible Verses for Anxiety
Here are 10 powerful Bible verses for anxiety that will help you surrender your worries and find comfort in Jesus.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
This is one of the most quoted verses for a reason. It invites us to trade anxiety for prayer, and God responds with peace that surpasses all understanding. No therapist, medication, or distraction can match this holy calm.
2. Psalm 55:22
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
When you're weighed down by fear or uncertainty, don’t carry it alone. The psalmist reminds us to cast our burdens onto the One who can carry them. When you feel like you're unraveling, God promises to sustain you.
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
These verses remind us that anxiety isn't just a burden; it's an opportunity to draw close to God. The mighty hand of God will lift you up in the proper time, and until then, you’re invited to let Him carry every fear.
4. John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
Jesus offers us peace that the world cannot give. This isn’t surface-level calm, it’s soul-deep serenity. If you’ve been craving stillness in your spirit, this is your invitation to receive His peace today.
5. Matthew 6:34
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Anxiety thrives in the future. But Jesus pulls us back into the present with these simple words: let tomorrow worry about itself. You are not required to solve all of life today, just to walk with God today.
6. Hebrews 13:6
“So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’”
When fear rises, proclaim this truth out loud: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. This verse reminds us of our spiritual position, held securely in God’s hands, not at the mercy of man or circumstance.
7. Isaiah 41:10
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
God doesn’t just say, “Don’t fear.” He follows it with why: because He is with us. In anxiety’s grip, this verse is a promise: God will strengthen, help, and uphold you. You are never alone.
8. Isaiah 26:3
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
Peace comes not from a change in our situation, but from a shift in our focus. When we fix our minds on God, peace follows. Let your thoughts turn from anxious spirals to the One who holds your life.
“For I am sure that neither death nor life... nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Anxiety often lies, it says you’re alone, forgotten, or unworthy. But the truth is this: nothing can separate you from the love of God. Not your worst day. Not your fears. Not even your panic attacks. His love holds firm.
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.”
This is our prayer for you: peace at all times in every way. Not just when things are going well, but when they’re falling apart. Jesus Himself is your ever-present peace.
A Global Reminder: You’re Not Alone in This
As we said in the beginning of this article, we believe that the local church is the hope of the world, and the church is built by people like you. People who keep showing up, praying, giving, and trusting, even in the presence of fear. When we stand together, we reflect the Kingdom of God, and we help others find freedom from anxiety too.
Let Your Requests Be Made Known
As Paul wrote in Philippians:
You don’t have to clean up your thoughts or hide your fears. Bring them all. And let His peace, which surpasses all understanding, cover you like a blanket.
You are seen. You are loved. And you are held by the One who will never let go.
