Are you overwhelmed with feelings of fear and anxiety and tired of your life right now? These 20 bible verses to overcome fear and anxiety will serve as a light to guide you through the tunnel.
Sometimes, these negative vibes, fear, and anxiety, are inevitable because they constantly faced us with situations that seem to be beyond our control. You have the power to make little or no change to them.
The feelings of fear and anxiety are just like two close companions that always walk together. When you become so anxious about a thing, like, how to get more money to pay the mortgage bills, then the fear of being thrown out of the house by the landlord sets in.
At other times, it could be an anxiety to pass an examination or a job interview, then the fear of failure might set in before you even have the time to prepare yourself for the interview or write the exam. Moreover, you can be overwhelmed with depression, especially if you couldn’t find a way out of the situation.
No matter the situation causing you to fear and anxiety, you should know that there is a promise to overcome fear and anxiety from God’s word. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, medical issues or you are going through a divorce. You don’t have to allow the negative circumstance to take away your peace. When you fill your heart with God’s word, you will receive the consolation and an eye of faith to see beyond the present situation causing you to fear and anxiety.
