Less Fret, More Faith: An 11-Week Action Plan to Overcome Anxiety

Anxiety is a common experience, but it need not control your life. Many people experience overwhelming dread, constant worry about potential problems, and persistent tension. Research indicates that anxiety-related issues represent the leading mental health concern for women and the second most common issue for men after substance abuse. Even young people report significant anxiety levels; one psychologist notes that today's average high school student experiences anxiety comparable to psychiatric patients from the early 1950s. Max Lucado, a pastor and New York Times bestselling author, has personally experienced anxiety and worry. This 64-page booklet draws from his bestselling book Anxious for Nothing and offers practical tools for managing anxiety. The booklet includes an 11-week action plan designed to address anxiety, weekly Scripture passages for reflection, and weekly prayers to help reframe anxious thoughts. The program aims to help readers regain control of their minds and lives through spiritual practice.
