In the New Testament, it is often associated with a sense of peace and trust in God's provision and care. The word suggests a mindset that is not burdened by the concerns of life, reflecting a reliance on God's sovereignty and faithfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, anxiety was a common human experience, much like today. Philosophers such as the Stoics advocated for a life free from emotional disturbance, which they believed could be achieved through rational thought and self-control. In contrast, the Christian perspective, as reflected in the New Testament, emphasizes trust in God as the foundation for a life free from anxiety. This trust is rooted in the belief in God's providence and the teachings of Jesus, who encouraged His followers to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/3308.htm">merimna</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>free from care<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>free from concern (1), trouble (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 275: ἀμέριμνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμέριμνος</span></span>, , (<span class="greek2">μέριμνα</span>), <span class="accented">free from anxiety, free from care</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/28-14.htm">Matthew 28:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/7-32.htm">1 Corinthians 7:32</a> (free from earthly cares).
