Quotes About Anxiety and Peace

How much have cost us the evils that never happened!
–Thomas Jefferson

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
–Proverbs 12:25

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.
–C. H. Spurgeon

…casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
–I Peter 5:7

…do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
–Philippians 4:6-7

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
–Isaiah 26:3

Our whole life is taken up with anxiety for personal security, with preparations for living, so that we really never live at all.
–Leo Tolstoy

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
–Matthew 6:25-34
