The Holy Bible
Jesus asks a piercing question about worry — can it add a single hour to your life? — before offering something better: trust. These Bible verses about worry hand tomorrow's troubles back to the God who already holds them.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”
“Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.”
“Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.”
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
“When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.”
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
