What Should Christians do about worry and fear

The Bible says that Christians should avoid worrying. Some Scholars way that worry is very closely related to atheism. It is almost like you are trying to play God. Worrying is the opposite of trusting God. Jesus says in the bible “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

In Philippians 4:6, we are commanded, ” Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” We need to bring all of our needs worries, and concerns to God. That is not to say that we are helpless little creatures that can do nothing for ourselves. Instead, it is just reminding us that there is no need to worry, God will take care of our needs.

Matthew 6:31-33
So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
