When I Am Afraid: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Fear and Anxiety
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
You know how anxiety and fear feels, your stomach drops, your neck tightens, your whole body tenses, but do you know what to do when anxiety fills your days and troubles your nights? You’ve probably already tried a few strategies, like denial or working harder, and noticed that they aren’t a permanent solution.
If you are tired of dealing with anxiety and worry on your own, then the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation’s (CCEFs) When I Am Afraid: A Step-by-Step Guide Away from Fear and Anxiety is for you. As you go through each set of meditations by Christian counseling expert Edward T. Welch, anxiety will gradually yield to hope, peace, and rest. Of course, this is a lifelong process, but going through this devotional guide, either on your own or with a small group, will kick-start the process and bring lifelong change. Because when you regain your spiritual and remember that the kingdom is about God and not you, anxiety becomes less prevalent in your everyday life as a Christian.
