Are there any verses in the Old Testament or in the New testament about not worrying?

[jennifer_bloom]

I know Matthew 6:33 says if you pursue a life of Godliness and Friendliness that God will provide for all your needs and interests, whether physical or emotional or biological. I'm not sure if this applies to marriage and children, cause some might say those are interests and not needs, since you won't die if you don't get married or have children.

I wonder if this is said or paraphrased in the Old Testament as well or in other parts of the New Testament.

What are your thoughts?

[TheSimonymous]

My favorite ones are these actually:

"Be strong and of good courage; for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them." (Joshua 1:6)

"O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." (Psalm 139:1-14)

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2nd Timothy 1:7)

[Berethor]

What about be fruitful and multiply? you don't die from not having a child but your family die.

[Caballo_Oscura93]

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6

[collie22]

It dose appear many times not to be afraid. Including my dream Jesus told me don't be afraid

[Tracker1958]

The BIBLE has FEAR NOT, 365 times. One for each day of the year.
