It was great. I loved the connection between spirituality and mental illness/wellness.

I liked Lucado's writing style, his philosophy feels solid, and the study guide in the back was intensive. There wasn't much insight into anxiety as a clinical disorder, but he did cover many emotional roots of day-to-day anxiety, and this is a valuable read for if the world sets your teeth on edge.

Anxiety is needless, because Jesus is near.

Today, I will live today. Yesterday has passed. Tomorrow is not yet. I‘m left with today. So, today, I will live today. Relive yesterday? No. I will learn from it. I will seek mercy for it. I will take joy in it. But I won‘t live in it. The sun has set on yesterday. The sun has yet to rise on tomorrow. Worry about the future? To what gain? It deserves a glance, nothing more. I can‘t change tomorrow until tomorrow. Today, I will live today.

The good life begins, not when circumstances change, but when our attitude toward them does.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul

Guilt frenzies the soul. Grace calms it

quote
zahra7

Perceived control creates calm. Lack of control gives birth to fear

quote

If only our storms were limited to wind and rain. Our tempests consist of the big Ds of life: difficulties, divorce, disease, and death. Does anybody know where to find a shelter that is suitable for these gales?

quote

The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional.

quote
zahra7

Anxiety and fear are cousins but not twins. Fear sees a threat. Anxiety imagines one.

quote
zahra7

There‘s trouble out there! So you don‘t sleep well. You don‘t laugh often. You don‘t enjoy the sun. You don‘t whistle as you walk. And when others do, you give them a look. That look. That “are you naive” look.

quote
zahra7

It‘s not the sight of a grizzly but the suspicion of one or two or ten. Behind every tree. Beyond every turn. Inevitable. It‘s just a matter of time until the grizzly leaps out of the shadows, bares its fangs, and gobbles you up, along with your family, your friends, your bank account, your pets, and your country.

quote
zahra7

It‘s not so much a storm as the certainty that one is coming. Always . . . coming. Sunny days are just an interlude. You can‘t relax. Can‘t let your guard down. All peace is temporary, short-term.

quote
zahra7

It‘s a low-grade fear. An edginess, a dread. A cold wind that won‘t stop howling.

Beautiful words of finding calm instead of anxiety. Filled with scripture and stories to illustrate points. #maxlucado #anxiousfornothing

Great book for people with anxiety! I read this through the library but I want to buy it and use the discussion questions at the end as journal prompts. 🥇✝️
