What Does the Bible Say About Anxiety? - Will We Ever Be Free of Anxiety?

"We are entering a new age of anxiety," said journalist Harriet Green in a 2008 article in The Guardian. In 2014, Patrick O'Connor wrote in The Wall Street Journal that "Americans are registering record levels of anxiety."

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

"Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up." (Proverbs 12:25)  An especially "good word" can be found in the good news of God's Kingdom.  (Matthew 24:14)  That Kingdom, a government by God, will soon do what we alone could never do-eliminate all anxiety by removing the root causes, including sickness and death!  "[God]  will wipe out every tear from  [our] eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." -Revelation 21:4.
