Cases of Anxiety in the Bible | Paul Nyamuda by Go Church SA published on 2025-10-12T10:27:24Z Anxiety is not a modern invention. Though our vocabulary and psychology may be more sophisticated today, the human heart has wrestled with fear, uncertainty, and inner turmoil since Eden. Scripture gives us more than just commands like “Do not be anxious” — it gives us people. Real people, with real fears, who faced real threats. From Elijah’s exhaustion under the broom tree to Paul’s daily pressure for the churches, the Bible paints anxiety in all its shades. In this message, we’ll explore how Elijah, Saul, Herod, and Paul each encountered anxiety in different “degrees” — from despair and torment to control and compassion — and how God responded to each with both truth and tenderness.
