Anxiety
The Bible speaks often about worry and fear, and it does not pretend they are small. These passages are places many readers start. They are Scripture to read and think about, and they are not medical advice.
Scripture and community do not replace appropriate professional or pastoral support. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or someone who can help you reach safety.
