The term "frantic" is not directly found in the Bible; however, the concept of being frantic, characterized by wild or distraught behavior due to fear, anxiety, or other overwhelming emotions, can be observed in various biblical narratives. The Bible often addresses the human condition of anxiety and fear, offering guidance and reassurance through faith in God.

Biblical Instances and Themes:

1. Fear and Anxiety:
The Bible frequently addresses the human tendency to become anxious or fearful, which can lead to frantic behavior. In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus teaches about the futility of anxiety, urging His followers to trust in God's provision: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" (Matthew 6:25). This passage encourages believers to seek God's kingdom first, trusting that their needs will be met.

2. Panic in Crisis:
The Bible records several instances where individuals or groups faced panic-inducing situations. In Exodus 14, the Israelites, pursued by the Egyptian army, found themselves trapped by the Red Sea. Their initial reaction was one of fear and despair, but Moses reassured them, saying, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today" (Exodus 14:13). This narrative highlights the importance of faith and reliance on God in moments of crisis.

3. Trust in God:
The Psalms often reflect the human struggle with fear and anxiety, yet they consistently point to trust in God as the remedy. Psalm 56:3-4 states, "When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" . This expression of trust serves as a model for believers to follow when faced with overwhelming emotions.

4. Jesus Calming the Storm:
In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples experienced a frantic moment during a storm at sea. Despite their fear, Jesus calmed the storm with His command, "Peace, be still!" (Mark 4:39). This miracle demonstrates Jesus' authority over nature and His ability to bring peace in the midst of chaos, encouraging believers to turn to Him in times of distress.

5. Encouragement to Remain Steadfast:
The New Testament epistles often encourage believers to remain steadfast and not to succumb to fear or panic. Philippians 4:6-7 advises, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" . This passage underscores the importance of prayer and thanksgiving as antidotes to anxiety.

Conclusion:
While the Bible does not use the word "frantic," it addresses the underlying emotions and situations that can lead to such a state. Through faith, prayer, and trust in God's sovereignty, believers are encouraged to find peace and stability amidst life's challenges.(a.)
