Beloved, the Bible addresses worry and anxiety by instructing believers not to be anxious, but to bring our concerns to God through prayer, trusting in His strength, care, and provision.
We must remember that God is always with us, He gives us peace that surpasses understanding, and focusing on seeking His Kingdom will address your needs.
We are to find rest in Jesus Christ alone, rely on God’s strength, and be present in the moment rather than dwelling on future troubles.
