What does the Bible say about excessive worry?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that excessive worry stems from pride and questions God's character and provision.

Excessive worry is addressed in 1 Peter 5:6-7, which encourages believers to cast all their anxiety on God because He cares for them. This worry often arises from pride, suggesting that we can control situations ourselves, thereby questioning God's providence, wisdom, and love. Peter reminds us to humble ourselves under God's mighty hand, thereby reducing our worries and dependency on our own understanding.
