Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Worry, no matter what the subject , is really fear, a
thing that, if we let it, will consume us.
Worry:
Joshua
1:9 KJV
Have
not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed: for The Lord thy God is with thee whither
soever thou goest.
Psalm
23:1-8 NLT
1
The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need.
2
He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful
streams.
3
He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing
honor to His name.
4
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and
comfort me.
5
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You
honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with
blessings.
6
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days
of my life, and I will live in the house of The Lord forever.
Psalm
34:4 NLT
I
prayed to The Lord, and He answered me. He freed me from all my
fears.
Psalm
55:22 NLT
Give
your burdens to The Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not
permit the Godly to slip and fall.
Psalm

When
doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Isaiah
41:10 NLT
Don’t
be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My
victorious right hand.
Matthew
8:23-27 KJV (Storms may come,
but our Lord is with us!)
23
And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him.
24
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that
the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep.
25
And His disciples came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us:
we perish.
26
And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a
great calm.
27
But the men marveled, saying, What manner of Man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey Him!
Matthew
10:19,20 KJV (God The Holy
Spirit, with us)
19
When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to
say. God will give you the right words at the right time.
20
For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be The Spirit Of
Your Father speaking through you.
Matthew
10:29-31 NLT (God sees us,
don't be afraid!)
29
What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single
sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
30
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
31
So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock
of sparrows.
Matthew
14:25-33 NLT (Don't keep your
eyes on the storm, keep them on The Lord!)
25
About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking
on the water.
26
When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were terrified.
In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”
27
But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” He said.
“Take courage. I am here!”
28
Then Peter called to Him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to
come to you, walking on the water.”
29
“Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So
Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward
Jesus.
30
But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and
began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31
Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little
faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt Me?”
32
When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.
33
Then the disciples worshiped Him. “You really are The Son Of God!”
they exclaimed.
Mark 4:35-41 KJV (Jesus Calms the Storm)
35
As evening came, Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the
other side of the lake.”
36
So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds
behind (although other boats followed).
37
But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the
boat, and it began to fill with water.
38
Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with His head on a
cushion. The disciples woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you
care that we’re going to drown?”
39
When Jesus woke up, He rebuked the wind and said to the waves,
“Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a
great calm.
40
Then He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no
faith?”
41
The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this Man?” they
asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey Him!”
Luke 12:22-34 NLT ( Our Lord, knows what we need,
and He is with us!)
22
Then, turning to His disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell
you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough
food to eat or enough clothes to wear.
23
For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing.
24
Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in
barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to Him than
any birds!
25
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
26
And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s
the use of worrying over bigger things?
27
“Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make
their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as
beautifully as they are.
28
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and
thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do
you have so little faith?
29
“And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink.
Don’t worry about such things.
30
These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world,
but your Father already knows your needs.
31
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you
everything you need.
32
“So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great
happiness to give you the Kingdom.
33
“Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store
up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old
or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it
and no moth can destroy it.
34
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also
be.
John
14:1,27 KJV
1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me.
27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let
it be afraid.
Romans
8:38,39 NLT
38
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 even the powers
of hell can separate us from God’s love.
39
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in
all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God
that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I
Corinthians 10:13 KJV (Our
deliverer is with us.)
There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer (permit)
you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Philippians
4:6-18 KJV (We are to pray,
pray, pray, our Father, listens for our prayers!)
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.
8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things.
9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard,
and seen in me, do: and The God Of Peace shall be with you.
10
But I rejoiced in The Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of
me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked
opportunity.
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where
and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need.
13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my
affliction.
15
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as
concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to
your account.
18
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of
Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet
smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.
Colossians
3:15 NLT
And
let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as
members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be
thankful.
II
Thessalonians 3:16 NLT
Now
may The Lord Of Peace Himself give you His peace at all times and in
every situation. The Lord be with you all.
II
Timothy 1:7 KJV
For
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of Power, and of Love,
and of a sound Mind.
I Peter 3:13-15 NLT (Suffering for Doing Good)
13
Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14
But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you
for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.
15
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone
asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.
I
John 4:18 KJV
There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Prayer:
I
Peter 5:7 KJV
Casting
all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
