Encouraging Faith in the Midst of Anxiety
Along with emotional and practical support, parents can also turn to faith as a source of encouragement.
Here are a few Bible verses to share with teens who are struggling with anxiety:
Isaiah 35:4
“Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.’”
Isaiah 40:31
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
John 14:1
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”
Anxiety may feel overwhelming, but parents can remind their children that they are never alone—not in their struggles, and not in their faith.
