I’ve been told that the Bible contains 365 reminders not to worry. One reminder for every day of the year.
That’s pretty powerful.
Yet, I can’t find a list of those 365 verses about worry. In fact, some of the research I did on the Internet indicates that this may be a myth … there might not be 365 reminders.
Either way, my life would be a lot better if I didn’t worry. My walk with God would be stronger. I would be a more peaceful person.
What better way to seek God’s peace than to search His word on this topic? I’ve decided to invest a little time each day in finding the peace God has for me. I’m going to try to track down those 365 verses in my New International Version of the Bible.
I may not be successful. But, even if I don’t find all of them, I know that I will benefit from this project.
I pray that you will, too.
Your project and challenge impresses me! His Word will not return void. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. God is teaching me daily as I work on this project. I’m thankful that others find it helpful, too.
Awesome!
Trusting that you WILL find 365+++.
Since I and a few friends share your worry and peace journey, I’ll be passing along….
Staying faithful
What an awesome project. Your gentle approach and profound thinking draws one in. I’m going to follow this project.
It will make a great devotional aid when it’s done. I hope you will publish it one day.
Bless you, thanks.

Thanks very much for the encouragement. So far, this project has been an amazing faith journey for me. I can’t wait to see what else God will teach me as I continue it.
Fun!
Love your blog! It looks like we’re walking together down this road of dealing with worries, eh? What an adventure!
It certainly has been for me! I’ll look forward to checking in with you as we continue
May you find more than your looking for through Christ Jesus who makes all things possible… 🙂
this is a very inspiring project! God made you “pregnant” with His word so you take it out to the world and motivate others, empower them and encourage them for a life closer to Him. Go on my friend, keep the faith and know that He will never forsake you. Thanks for this wonderful blog, i will keep checking it!

Thanks so much for your encouragement!
I too think that this is an amazing project. I don’t know if you will find the 365 verses but I will tell you that I am reminded daily that I, we should not worry.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I may not find 365, but, I’ve benefitted tremendously from the hunt! All the best to you!
Well, you’re doing pretty good, and you’re nearly halfway.
Yes! Thanks so much for your support, Ian. Hope all is well with you and yours!
What a neat idea. Worry is definitely something I struggle with on a daily basis. I love that the Lord understands that and gives us constant reminders to leave it in His hands.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I’ll be back! I absolutely loved you post today on the loud noise of little knees!
I just found this…I am so in awe!
We serve an awesome God. Thanks for stopping by!
Greetings from Ireland
I heard that it was 365 “Fear Not”s which suggests the King James version rather than NIV? But the internet commentary only has a mere 170. We await your findings!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll keep looking and I hope that you’ll visit again. All the best to you.
Enjoyed looking through this, very good stuff, appreciate it.
Thankyou for this wonderful project – a great idea and I, too, think it might make a great book one day! I’d buy it…
I also echo one of your responses in which a lady says that she too is learning about worrying this year! It’s something I keep returning to over and over, but God is good and despite my two-steps-forward-one-step-back, I’m learning.
Wishing you every blessing on your journey.

Am so thankful that you found it helpful! I loved every minute of it. Am not writing at the moment, but, you never know!
Thanks for your note. I’m not writing anywhere else at the moment. But, I so enjoyed this project, you never know when I will take it up again!

I pray you are well and will return to writing such inspirational blessings. I was gone for awhile myself, but God has called me back. In Christ, Brother Wood.
