Overcoming Worry and Anxiety Through Faith in God

Worry and anxiety are battles every believer faces, but God’s Word gives clear guidance for overcoming them. At Devotions Done Daily, we believe that overcoming worry begins with trusting in God’s promises, praying with thanksgiving, and resting in His peace. Today’s devotion offers biblical encouragement, practical steps, and two beautiful worship songs to help you lay down your burdens and find rest in Him.

Worry and Anxiety: God’s Solution for a Peaceful Heart

The Bible teaches Christians not to worry. Philippians 4:6 says,

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Worry should not be a part of the believer’s life. But how do we actually overcome worry?

The answer is clear:

“Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

Jesus Himself invites us:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Putting God First Cures Anxiety
When we prioritize our relationship with God, anxiety loses its grip. We can trust the Lord to provide for our needs, protect us from evil, guide us daily, and secure our souls for eternity.

The primary focus of a believer’s life should be:

• Loving the Lord (Matthew 22:34-38)
• Loving others (Matthew 22:39-40; 1 Corinthians 13:13; 1 John 4:21)
• Seeking first God’s kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33)

If you find yourself caught in a web of worry, it’s time to pray. Turn your concerns over to the Holy Spirit who lives within you, and trust Him to carry your burdens.

Let these two songs minister to your heart as you surrender your worries to Him:
