Anxiety is a universal human emotion that arises when we, as finite beings, are confronted with the infinite and uncertain. Philosophically, anxiety is an essential state of human existence. The Bible also addresses anxiety extensively, acknowledging its universality while urging us not to let it dominate our daily lives, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34). Scripture also teaches that trusting in God can help us overcome anxiety: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).
