Anxiety is a constant companion that sometimes feels far worse than any other adversary we face. It’s anxiety that brings discouragement and despair, anxiety that keeps us from going after what we want in life, and, worst of all, anxiety that can prevent us from being the person God wants us to be.
7 Anxiety Calming Scriptures
If you are suffering from anxiety, then you are not alone. It’s a common problem many people have to deal with. Scriptures can calm the soul and relax us from our daily life to be happier. Here is a list of 7 anxiety calming Scriptures to help you cope with fear, anxiety, and other emotions that affect your quality of life.
Luke 12:25 – Trust God for everything.
“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to hisspan of life?”
Luke 12:25
As Christians, we should not worry about anything because it adds nothing but subtracts from our life. Then why worry? You need to trust God for everything, no matter the situation or problems you are currently facing.
You should lean on God and wait for his answer and his provision. God cares for his children and will not leave us at a point of need.
1 John 14:27 – Keep your hearts from trouble.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
1John 14:27
As believers, we should not be enslaved to our emotions. In this Scripture, Jesus Christ has encouraged us Christians to keep our hearts away from troubles and fears. He acknowledged the reality of suffering while at the same time trusting in God to make good on his promises.
We should maintain our faith in Christ whenever we are worried, troubled, sad, discouraged, scared, etc. Jesus is the way to the father. We will have perfect peace when we live with him and obey him. We will not be alone when we have the Holy Spirit in us.
Romans 8:31 – He will show up every time.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31
In our earthly walk as human beings, we face many circumstances and difficulties life throws at us. When we call upon God, in his infinite mercies, he shows up in every situation, using it for his eternal benefit and his greater glory.
Whenever God steps in our situation, we enjoy supernatural victory in that particular problem. We should never forget that Paul’s questions in the book of Romans have just one response.
One beautiful thing is that God sent his one and only son to die for us and redeem us from the sin that once separated us. This assures us that he is for us.
1 Philippians 4:6-7 – God has assured us of inner peace.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
1 Philippians 4:6-7
Prayers can help eradicate anxiety and bring peace of mind. As Christians, when we are worried, Paul has admonished us to make our request known to God by praying to him.
As a result of doing this, God has assured us of inner peace in these same scriptures. Paul has identified the different forms of prayer, the blessing of supplication, the prayer of petition, and the prayer of thanksgiving.
Prayers of supplication are prayers offered repeatedly and have to do with earnest pleadings, prayers of petitions are specific requests one makes to God over any worry, and prayer of thanksgiving is gratitude to God for things he has done and will do. When we request unto God, he will grant us peace that surpasses all understanding and is eternal.
Matthew 6:34 – Our mind is a powerful tool.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:34
Christians should understand that worry doesn’t fix anything. Tomorrow will heal itself. All we should do is keep our trust in God; he will have everything sorted out for us.
God loves us and already knows what he wants us to accomplish. Putting our minds on what will happen tomorrow deprives us of joy, and we cannot solve our future problems by worrying about them today.
Our mind is a powerful tool, and we should use it wisely. Most times, what we worry about often fails to happen. We should understand that God’s plans for us are in his book, and we should not fear.
Proverbs 12:25 – The Holy Spirit is our comforter.
“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad
Proverbs 12:25
Worry is a burden in the heart. When we are worried, it could lead to depression, panic attacks, etc. However, a kind word, a scripture from the Bible, a word of encouragement, a word of motivation e.t.c can lift the burdens in the heart of the believer and cheer him up.
But then, as believers, we should seek God’s kingdom first, and everything will be added to us. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, who looks out for us whenever we are worried; he brings scriptures to mind that comfort us and assure us of God’s presence.
Psalm 56:3 – God’s love for us is beyond measure.
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Psalm 56:3
As a Christian who believes in the death and resurrection of Christ, when we are full of fear over a particular something, we should always put our trust and confidence in God.
David knew that he could trust God to see him through his current situation and anything else that might come his way. God’s love for us is beyond measure. When our trust is in him, we will find peace amid chaos.
Humans could be afraid of where our next meal will come from. God can give us help in times of our need.

When we put our hearts and minds in our Lord Jesus Christ, he fills our hearts with perfect peace. That is, peace from above because our heart is like his heart and our mind like his mind.
God has promised to give perfect peace to those who trust him. This peace shall surpass all human understanding.
1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. –1 Peter 5:7
In these scriptures, we see Peter admonished us to humble ourselves and cast all our cares to God. Care here means worry, anxiety, fear, etc. We should put our trust in God because he cares for us.
God’s love for us is all-encompassing because he is our father and cares for us. We are his sheep, and he is the shepherd.
If we trust God, we can cast our cares or concerns to him by praying to him consistently.
Bible Verses for Anxiety Attacks
Anxiety attacks can be a scary and overwhelming experience. But the Bible offers comfort and reassurance during these difficult times. In this post, we’ll explore a few Bible verses that can help bring peace to your mind and calm to your heart during an anxiety attack.
Proverbs 12:25
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.
Proverbs 12:25
Worry is a burden in the heart. When we are worried, it could lead to depression, panic attacks, etc. However, a kind word, a scripture from the Bible, a word of encouragement, a word of motivation e.t.c can lift the burdens in the heart of the believer and cheer him up.

Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not 34even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
Romans 8:38-39
The Love God has for us is a foundational truth that we must grasp in fullness to be who we are called to be. God Loves us so much that many people do not understand the depth of how God loves.
A clear example of God’s love is when he sent his only begotten son to come and die for us. Paul was convinced that nothing could separate him from the love of God in Christ Jesus. This is the same way that we Christians should be convinced that nothing could separate us from God’s love.
Matthews 6:27
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Matthews 6:27
Can any of you lengthen your lives by even one hour through worrying? The reasoning is plausible because worrying doesn’t help you, and anxiety doesn’t get you anywhere.
You may be sure that whatever the issue makes you anxious, your anxiety won’t make it go away. Learn to control your pressure because worrying will make you unpleasant while trying to deal with it.
The truth is that fretting won’t make you live longer. Instead, worrying deprives you of rest, good health, and numerous other benefits. God’s anointing flows freely when you are worry-free, strengthening, curing, and repairing you for the years that the locust has devoured (Joel 2:25).
Conclusion
The truth is that anxiety can be a frequent and unwelcome guest in many of our lives, and we often feel helpless to get rid of it. But you already have the tools to beat back your anxiety and keep it from stealing your joy. The key is to remember these encouraging biblical verses and say them aloud in times of need.
