Top 10 Bible Verses about Worry

Top 10 Most Searched Bible Verses about Worry

Everyone has faced hardships through-out their lives and the worst part about those times is the constant feelings of worry because of fear, pain, suffering, and overall uncertainty. We worry about our future and our overwhelming difficulties because we typically focus on our physical circumstances, doubt ourselves, and simply lose hope. These are the times when the Bible becomes the ray of hope for us and reminds us to walk by faith and to turn our eyes back to our all-powerful God, and when we do we find His peace, His strength, and His rest, which brings calmness to the storms of anxiety, fear, and depression. Consider the following scriptures: “Don’t worry…” (Matthew 6:31); “Do not be anxious about anything…” (Philippians 4:6); and “Don’t let your hearts be troubled…” (John 14:1). The Bible is clear that we are to not worry and to actively resist worry (yep, we are not powerless!). Therefore, when the “enemy of worry” comes knocking, resist it by speaking God’s truth against it (James 4:7 “…resist the devil and he will flee from you“; Ephesians 6:17 “…take the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God“; and Matthew 4:1-11, which demonstrates how Jesus resisted the enemy three times by using and speaking God’s Word). One final and closing recommendation: Get into the habit of replacing “worry” with “worship” and “fear” with “faith” and start experiencing victory today! Amen.

The $1 Million Dollar Question:

Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test:
Q. Have you ever told a lie?
Q. Have you ever stolen anything?
Q. Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
Q. Have you ever lusted over someone?
Q. Have you ever hated someone?

If you have done these things, God sees you as a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer-at-heart, and a murderer-at-heart. And this is only 5 of God’s Ten Commandments (a/k/a “God’s Law”). And the Bible warns that on the Day of Judgment, God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But, there is “good news”! God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law, but Jesus paid their fine by shedding His sinless blood on a cross ~2,000 years ago. This means that God can legally dismiss their case (and yours!): “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent (turn away from your sins), put your complete trust in Jesus, and confess Jesus as your Lord & Savior… and God will give you eternal life as a free gift.

The $1 Million Dollar Myth:

Contrary to popular belief, being a “good person”, doing “good deeds”, or being “religious” will not get you a ticket to heaven! Many people are hoping God will dismiss their sins because their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds. They further hope that because God is “good” he will let them go unpunished and enter heaven. However, because God is “good” he must by nature punish sinners (i.e., God would not be a good judge if he let criminals go free). The Bible states: “There is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20) The Bible also states: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) And finally, think about this, if your goodness could save you, Jesus would have died in vain (i.e., for no good reason). The Bible states: “I (Jesus) am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (God) except through me. (John
14:6) Friends, please don’t “roll-the-dice” and gamble your eternal life on the life-threatening lie that being a “good person” will get you to heaven.

Yes, today I am deciding to follow Jesus:

Here is a prayer you can use to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior. It is a suggested prayer – the key is that you are speaking from your heart.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me turn away from sin going forward. I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus into my heart and I confess him as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for sending your Holy Spirit to help me obey you, and to do your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Congratulations! And welcome to God’s family!
