What does the Bible say about anxiety?

Answered from Scripturewith citations you can open

Scripture meets anxiety not with a scolding but with an exchange — worry handed over, and something specific handed back:

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6–7KJV

The instruction is not simply to stop worrying, but to move the weight somewhere — into prayer, and with thanksgiving. What returns is a peace the passage admits we cannot fully explain, one that keeps the heart and mind rather than merely calming them for a moment.

Modern Word answers this way on purpose: the response and the verse it rests on, together — so you can sit with the text yourself and see where the peace is promised.
