Most of us all struggle with anxiety sometimes. I know for me personally it was hard for me to face it, but I knew that the only way to get better was to face it head on. I consistently worry about money or my grades, so here are a few bible verses that have helped me

1. Philippians 4:6

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all He has done."

2. Philippians 4:7

"Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

This verse is a continual of #1. Once you stopped worrying and start praying then that's when it all starts you will experience peace from God that you can't fathom.

3. 1 Peter 5:7

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you."

Wow how awesome is that to know that no matter what you have someone who will ALWAYS care about you.

4. Matthew 6: 25-27

25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?"

26 "Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?"

27 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

This is my all time favorite!!!! He tells us in scripture that we don't have to worry about we are going to eat, drink, or wear the next day. It has already been written we are taken care of! How awesome is that ? Lastly, I love how it asks can it add a single moment to your life? No it can't. Let's stop worrying about things, and start giving it to Him.

5. Psalms 94:19

"When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."

Don't have doubt, His comfort will give you hope.

6. Joshua 1:9

"This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"

Why should you feel weak or be afraid ? He is with you everywhere you go.

7. Proverbs 12:25

"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person."

Challenge yourself to say something encouraging to someone. If they are stress don't add to it by worrying them.

8. Ecclesiastes 11:10

"So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless."
