Many statements of Jesus are helpful truths to assist when we have anxiety. Did you know that most of them are all in one setting? It's part of His magnificent teaching around the Sea of Galilee. Scholars refer to it as the beatitudes. It's further down from the more famous statements about "Blessed are..." They are actually listed in chapter 6. Jesus mentions anxiety 6 times in 9 verses. Here they are. Matt. 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Matt. 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, Matt. 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’Matt. 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Here's a bonus one from chapter 10! Matt. 10:19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. Jesus knows what to do with our anxiety!
