11 Bible Verses about Stress

Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and [special] petition, along with thanksgivings, you should make your requests known to God. And [when you do], the peace from God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and thoughts [from anxiety] in [fellowship with] Christ Jesus.

Place all your anxious cares upon God [in prayer], because He genuinely cares about you.

[Jesus continued], "Do not allow your hearts to be upset. You should believe in God, and believe in me also.

Keep your lives free from the love of money [and be] content with what you have, because God [Himself] has said [Deut. 31:6], "By no means will I [ever] desert you or give up on you."

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, [a hope] that is safe and secure, and one that enters the curtain [i.e., figuratively, of the heavenly sanctuary],

For God did not give us a spirit [i.e., a disposition] that makes us cowards but one that gives us power and love and self-control.

I have said these things to you so that you can have peace in [fellowship with] me. You will have trouble in the world, but cheer up, for I have conquered the world."

We are afflicted in every way, but are not crushed; [we are] perplexed, but not to the point of despair; [we are] persecuted, but are not deserted [by God]; [we are] struck down, but are not destroyed. We always carry around in our [physical] bodies the [threat of] dying, as Jesus did [i.e., the apostles were constantly exposed to impending danger and death], so that the life of Jesus [i.e., His virtue, courage, faithfulness, etc.] may be demonstrated in our bodies [i.e., in the way we live] also.
