The most popular Bible verse of the year encourages readers not to 'worry about anything,' according to the creators of the Bible App.

YouVersion - makers of the Bible App - revealed that the New Testament's Philippians 4:6 was the verse its 400million users worldwide shared, bookmarked and highlighted most over the past year.

The Bible verse states: 'Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.'

The Bible App said that Philippians 4:6 was the verse that its 400million worldwide users bookmarked, shared and highlighted most throughout 2019

'We're encouraged to see so many people turning to the Bible in response to their worries, remembering what God has done in their lives, and choosing to trust in His faithfulness,' YouVersion Founder Bobby Gruenewald said in a statement.

YouVersion also announced that there was a 30 per cent increase in Bible App users listening to or reading the Bible in 2019, compared to 2018.

Overall this year, YouVersion said that app users read 35.6billion Bible chapters; listened to 5.6billion chapters; made 2billion highlights, notes and bookmarks, and shared 478million verses.
