Fear is a virus. It spreads, it mutates, and if you let it, it will run your whole life. You wake up already worried. You run the worst case before breakfast. You know the verse about not being anxious, and you can't make it stick.
I still fight fear every week before I preach, and I've been doing this for more than three decades. But here's what I've found: when you properly fear God, you stop fearing everything else. That's not a slogan. That's the vaccine.
These devotionals on anxiety and fear take one passage at a time. On a bad morning, just read the passage and stop. And if anxiety is running your life, please also talk to a doctor or counselor. This walks alongside that help. It doesn't replace it.

Read the passage. That's the part that carries the weight. Come back for the rest when you can.
