Anybody can struggle with nervousness. You might be starting a new job, have a huge test coming up, or have a presentation. God forbids us from stressing about the myriad concerns of this world.
Even essentials like food and clothing are not a concern for a child of God. Jesus demonstrates how our Heavenly Father is aware of and concerned for our needs with instances from God’s creation.
Encouraging Bible Verses For Nervousness
Will God not care for people who are made in His image if He takes care of simple things like grass, flowers, and birds? We should “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, then all these things, the requirements of life will be added to you,” rather than worrying about things we cannot change.
Nervousness can be treated by putting God first. Consider Christ in reading these Bible Verses for fear instead of the things that make you anxious.

I’m grateful to You, Father, that nothing will ever be able to keep me from experiencing Your boundless love and unending grace through Christ Jesus, my Lord, not my fears and worries.

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

Timothy was urged to rekindle the dying spark of his wavering faith because he was hesitant, wary, and uncertain despite having been rescued by grace through trust in Christ. We fall under pressure from the hostile environment in which we all live.
But just like him, we must remember. In Christ, who we are. and that a spirit of timidity and fear has not been given to us. But one of strength, love, wise judgment, and self-control.
The source of true strength is not ourselves but Christ, who has said His grace is adequate for all the challenges we may encounter. Because in our weakness, His power is made perfect.

Prayer
Dear Lord, Remind me that anxiety often stems from a fundamental skepticism about Your goodness, but that when I put all of my faith in You and don’t rely on my knowledge, worry is dispelled.
Help me to always put my trust in You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Philippians 4:6–7
Anxiety is a tool used by the devil to trap souls for destruction. This destruction starts from the mind and manifests in an individual’s physical actions and words. As such, this Bible verse commands that we should not be nervous over anything but rather pray to God in heaven.
