Battling the Unbelief of Anxiety

In my opinion, the most biblically practical of all of John Piper’s books may be one of his least known: Battling Unbelief: Defeating Sin with Superior Pleasure.
He defines “anxiety” as “the loss of confident security in God owing to feelings of uneasiness or foreboding that something harmful is going to happen.”
Here’s an outline of verses that can be used as weapons to combat the lies and false promises of the Evil One in contrast to believing the great promises of God:
Battling Anxiety in General
Lamentations 3:22-23; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Deuteronomy 33:25; Psalm 56:3; 1 Peter 5:7; Philippians 4:6-7
Battling Anxiety About Being Useless
1 Corinthians 15:58; Isaiah 55:9-11
Battling Anxiety about Feeling Weak
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Battling Anxiety about Difficult Decisions
Psalm 32:8; Psalm 25:8-9
Battling Anxiety about Opponents
Romans 8:31
Battling Anxiety about Afflictions
Psalm 34:19; Romans 5:3-5
Battling Anxiety about Aging
Isaiah 46:3-4
Battling Anxiety about Not Persevering to the End in Faith
Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 7:25; Jeremiah 32:40
Battling Anxiety about Death
Romans 14:7-9
