Identifying Anxiousness

Anxiousness is described as a feeling of inner unrest and worry driven by the fear of future outcomes that may never occur. This emotional state is said to rob individuals of their present peace, causing them to expend energy worrying about hypothetical problems. The prevalence of the command 'fear not'—which appears over 300 times throughout scripture—highlights humanity's struggle with anxiousness. This underscores the need for believers to understand that while anxiousness is a common experience, it does not have to dominate their lives.
