When you are feeling anxious or worried, it’s a good idea to go to the Bible. God knows our fears and worries, and the Bible has many words to lift us up, giving hope and relieving us of anxiety.
- Isaiah 41:13 For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
You are not alone. God is here, He is with you. This is an important reminder because anxiety can be overwhelming. But God is here to help you.
- John 14:1 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
God became a man, Jesus Christ, and lived as one of us. He knows your situation. Jesus reminds you to turn to him in faith.
- Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
When you seek God, the Bible tells us that God will answer. Seek God with all your heart and he will deliver you from your fears.
- Psalm 94:19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Anxiety can make your heart feel heavy and burdened. Read the Word of God and let God lift you up.
- Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.
Our fears try to bring us down and trap us. God is our refuge, he is our safe harbour. Put your trust in God.
- Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
When we let God into our hearts, there is peace. That peace isn’t just for ourselves, but for all who follow Jesus Christ.
- Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
We need to keep our faith in God. It can be hard when we are anxious. But ask people around you to pray for you.
The Bible encourages you to walk in God’s way and follow his commandments. It teaches that youth is a time for growing in faith and preparing for the future, rather than for a life of inconsistent frivolity.
