Is anxiety a sin in the Bible?


Is anxiety a sin in the Bible? The above verses (and others) about anxiety find their home in Hebrews 11:1 and what it tells us about faith. Anxiety in and of itself isn't sinful. Not trusting God is sinful. It's sinful to live as if you need to take care of yourself because you can't trust God to provide.


Did Jesus have anxiety?

In Luke 22, we read about Jesus' experience in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus knew his arrest and crucifixion were imminent, so he brought a few of his friends to an olive grove to pray – but they fell asleep. Then, as Jesus prayed alone, his anxiety was so overwhelming that it manifested physically.
