What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a response to stress or a perceived threat. It’s often characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease. Physically, it can manifest as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, or difficulty concentrating. It varies in intensity and duration from person to person.
The Bible offers a plethora of scriptures that provide solace and guidance for those grappling with anxiety, offering profound insights and words of comfort that can serve as sources of strength and reassurance during moments of distress and uncertainty.
