Help and Hope When You’re Facing Anxiety by Helen Thorne

Anxiety is much more than just feeling nervous, restless, or tense. It is an indicator that a person is suffering from more complicated matters at the emotional level. It can also be identified as a spiritual attack, which assault not only the mind, but the heart. Anxiety is mostly an issue of control. Battling anxiety requires trusting the Lord for His solution and provision.

Trauma plays a major part in shaping our character.  Whether good or bad, there are lessons that we can extract from each experience.

Fear is NOT your friend.  Fear invites all types of EVIL into your life.  Ask Job (Job 3:25). It’s NOT your Father’s plan for you. Meditating or thinking about the truths in God’s word will dislodge and dissolve fear-filled thoughts -replacing them with new thoughts and reality of FREEDOM, SAFETY, and SECURITY.  Nope – we’re not making this up. That’s what our Lord Jesus says in John 15:7.

With a little humor and a lot of hope, this seven-day devotional takes a look at the life lessons one mama learned through the heartache of others and through her own stress brought on by a year that will go down in history.

2020 Was the Best Year Ever!

Fear has a way of changing our focus from God to the problems around us. Fear can change our confession from God’s promise to what we are feeling. All throughout the Scripture we are  commanded: “Do not fear.” The reason for not fearing is that we are not alone. God is with us; that’s the promise God gives us to combat fear. 

How to Overcome Fear

Our world is at war.  It may not be a world war – but it’s a world at war. There may not be armed conflict in the streets, but many individuals, homes and communities in our own land are ‘war torn’ and broken.  Many don’t know peace with God or with those around them.  Many of us feel anything but peace in our circumstances.  It’s into this reality that God speaks.

Peace

Have you ever been struck with fear, anxiety, or the need to control everything? Call on the name of the Lord. His power is not just around us but WITHIN US. How can we even grasp that?! Read along with Elle Limebear as God's goodness in unraveled through all our feelings and in all situations.

Finding Solace In Loneliness

We live in a chaotic, hectic world, and sometimes it seems there is no escape from all the noise. This week, make time to listen to God, read His Word, and pray. Be intentional as you seek to listen to His voice and be renewed and refreshed.

Turning Off The Noise

While anxiety and stress are a natural part of life, they can become overwhelming, especially for families facing challenges such as serious illness, financial collapse, raising children with special needs, or caring for aging parents. God gave us human emotions, but he does not want them to enslave us. He offers Christians the courage to overcome stress and model his love to a hurting world.

Courage Under Stress

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a relationship that’s in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control. Life comes apart at the seams, and hope begins to evaporate. Bestselling author Frank Viola shows us how to weather the storms of life.

Hang On, Let Go

In this 3-day plan based on graphics from The Infographic Bible, we will look at Jesus’ story.  Jesus guarantees us a future where all of creation is restored. His story is one that helps us in many ways.  Jesus helps us to overcome fear.

Fear Not! A Journey From Fear To Freedom

Break Through : Overcoming Fear And Anxiety

We tend to assume we’re okay—until we’re not. Author and licensed counselor Debra Fileta challenges you to get real with who you are and how you’re doing spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically so you can recognize where you need growth and healing.

Are You Really Ok? 

The uncertainty of what’s next gives us plenty of room for anxiety to take root. After all, we should be afraid of what we can’t control, right? But Paul tells us we have another option—one that replaces our fear with a “peace beyond understanding.”   

Scared Of The Unknown

What do you do when the battle you are facing is too big for you?

We all face battles today ranging from depression to anxiety to unemployment to loss to illness and to so many others. When facing a battle, it’s so easy to become discouraged and defeated before it’s even begun. What would happen if we admit we cannot fight our battles on our own?

When the Battle Feels Too Big

Real Hope: Overcoming Stress and Anxiety

Our God has always been in the business of breakthrough. But what exactly does that imply? What do we mean when we say “breakthrough?” Breakthrough has historically been used as a militaristic term: advancing beyond an enemy’s front line of defense. It also denotes the achievement of surpassing a significant obstacle or making a discovery that leads to a new understanding. The Lord is always fighting for us. 

Breakthrough by Red Rocks Worship

The apostle Paul tells his readers, “We must suffer many things on our way into God’s kingdom” (Acts 14:22). Reading the book of Acts or hearing testimonies from Christians all over the world, these words are proven true. Believers face opposition and persecution. Maybe you experience affliction yourself. In this reading plan, we want to encourage you and to teach you how to handle affliction.

How to Handle Affliction and Suffering

When we fool ourselves into thinking that God is after our money or needs our money, we miss the whole point. God is after our hearts, and many times in our day and age, we have trouble separating our money from our hearts. In fact, we've found many times it's one of the hardest things for people to be obedient in. We've also seen that many Christians carry around unnecessary anxiety and worry because they refuse to trust God with their finances. Take your life back by learning to be faithful with your money through this Bible plan!

NEXT STEPS: Give

Jesus says: “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). That sounds good, since freedom is something we are all looking for! This reading plan introduces twelve types of freedom that can all be found in Jesus.

Finding Freedom in Jesus

So many of us struggle with our phones and other various devices. The younger generation is known for it, but the truth is, pretty much everyone is obsessed with what takes place on the little screens. Why is this? What effect does it have on our lives? Is it actually bad?
