No, raw anxiety is a human physiological alarm and survival signal. The Bible approaches our anxieties with deep, fatherly compassion and medicine, treating it as an emotional burden to ease, rather than a sin to condemn. Proverbs 12:25 and Matthew 6:34 demonstrate that anxiety is a heavy burden to ease, treated with tender fatherly compassion, not a sin to condemn. God understands the fragile biology behind our physiological struggle and never scolds us for feeling overwhelmed. He extends an open invitation to rest rather than a list of harsh demands.
