Anxiety
Anxiety in Scripture is the restless worry that gathers to itself tomorrow's troubles. Jesus addresses it in the Sermon on the Mount; Paul prescribes the replacement (prayer + thanksgiving) in Philippians 4; the Psalms record the sleepless night as a fact of the life of faith. Scripture treats anxiety seriously and offers a transfer of weight, not a dismissal of it.
