Bible verses about anxiety
Passages for the days your mind will not stop. Download them, print them or share them.
Anxiety does not switch off because you read a verse. What these passages do is different: they give a racing mind something solid to hold while it keeps circling the same thing.
Notice that almost none of them say “do not worry”. They say cast, come, rest. Verbs of motion, things you do with something heavy, not orders to stop feeling. Peter wrote “casting all your care upon him” to people who were actually being persecuted, not to people having a bad day.

Charles Spurgeon · 1 Peter 5:7
A cure for care
Spurgeon treats excessive worry as a form of distrust rather than a mood, and prescribes something to do about it instead of asking you to feel differently.
Charles Spurgeon · Matthew 11:28
The two rests
Spurgeon finds two different rests in the same passage, one received at once and one that takes years, and argues that confusing them is why many people think it did not work for them.
