How to Fight Anxiety

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis is unprecedented in our lifetime. With fear and panic being spread everywhere we look, it can be difficult to have hope. In this 4-day plan, Pastor Rick Warren shares things you can remember, rely on, and do, to experience God’s hope and fight back against fear.

Waiting for test results from the doctor. Hearing your company is about to downsize. Getting a call from your child’s school. What makes the difference in how we respond to uncertain or challenging circumstances? I believe that finding peace is more than “thinking positively” that everything will work out. True peace and contentment comes from focusing our thoughts on the fact that no matter what, God is with us—and his truth never changes.

How Joyful People Think

Silent Killers: Anxiety

Reading the New Testament often feels like looking into another world and another life unlike our own experience with God.

L Moody Center’s Go Dark, Shine Bright campaign, this 10-day Bible Plan challenges you to set aside stories that keep the Lord at arm’s length by engaging in practices that will ground your life in God’s story.


Living As If God Exists (Because He Does)

Thinking WITH God

Finally, a time of meditation on thoughts of love and rediscovering thoughts of true love from the Creator of love. 

What Are You Thinking?

We live in a very stressful world. There’s a lot to be anxious and worried about –  a lot be afraid of. But God does not want you to live in anxiety or fear.

You will never be alone as our God is omnipresent, available, listening, watching over you, and walking beside you. -Elle Limebear

God Is With You: Dealing With Fear, Discouragement and Anxiety

Look at finding peace in the chaos. In the world, in our community, in our own lives, chaos will come. But in those moments it’s good to know where to find peace that brings greater perspective, understanding and direction, and knowing that God is working all things together for His good and in His time. 

Real Hope: Peace in the Chaos

The Bible tells us, “Don’t worry,” “Fear not!” How do we do this practically? Based on research about feelings in the New Testament, author Dr. Matthew Elliott explains what fear is. When is it healthy? When can we banish it permanently? Rather than feeling overwhelmed by emotions, we can understand the beliefs and values fear reveals in us. When we do, we will be on our way to living fear-free.
