What does the Bible say about anxiety and worry?

Scripture consistently calls believers to cast their cares upon God rather than be consumed by anxiety, promising divine peace that surpasses understanding. From the Psalms to the New Testament, God's word offers both honest acknowledgment of human worry and confident hope rooted in trust in divine Providence.

The New Testament: Christ's Teaching and Apostolic Counsel

St. Peter echoes this, commanding believers to cast 'all your care upon him, for he hath care of you' (1 Peter 5:7), grounding the exhortation in God's personal, attentive love for each soul.
