What does the Bible say about anxious care?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible, particularly in 1 Peter 5, teaches that anxious care is a sinful practice that dishonors God.

In 1 Peter 5:7, we are encouraged to 'cast all your care on Him, for He cares for you.' This passage highlights that anxious care, which includes worry and fear about the uncertainties of life, is not just a trivial issue but a sinful practice. It suggests that when we allow ourselves to be consumed by these anxious thoughts, we demonstrate a lack of faith in God's providence and care. Instead of showing trust in God, we inadvertently elevate our own understanding over His divine wisdom, which leads to questioning His love for us. Anxious care ultimately undermines our ability to serve God effectively and casts doubt on His sovereign plan.
