Overcome Anxiety and Find Peace in the Presence of God with 31 Christian devotionals, prayers, and journal prompts from best-selling authors★★★★★. This beautiful collaboration can also serve as a powerful prayer journal.
Anxiety has gripped all of us at some point and, for many, it has grown from a foothold to a stranglehold. But there is a way out! The answer is the peace we experience in God’s presence.
⚠Whether you get this book or read it or not, we pray that you pick up the Bible, pray, and lean into the presence of God. He is where we find your comfort in trying times, order in our broken messes, and healing when it seems impossible.
A dozen Christian writers have joined together to attack anxiety with the Word of God, to encourage women through their struggles, and to give insight to ways we can all find peace in the presence of God.
This is the third of the best-selling Devo Writers Collaborations series. Be sure to check out the other books!
The fact that these are real stories by real people about a real God means it will encourage readers in the same way Christ encouraged us in the New Testament: with real stories!
These writers-turned-best-selling-authors go deep and share their strongest stories with willing readers.
When you face something that seems far beyond your capacity, it’s because you’re not the right person… yet. God is transforming you. He’s rebuilding us daily. When we right ourselves with God, adversity becomes opportunity; it is then that we are unstoppable advocates of the cross.
Do you want to be unstoppable for the kingdom of God? Then you can’t let what’s in front of you stop you! When you’re struggling and striving, don’t think about where you are or where you’ve been; instead, think about where you will be—living and thriving. By God’s grace, you can get there and beyond.
When the air gets thin and everything inside begs me to stop, to turn around, God, give me the strength to keep moving forward, upward toward You. I know, I KNOW the story you are writing with my life is greater than any I could imagine (Eph. 3:20).
Take a few minutes to transfer your thoughts from your heart and mind to the paper. Let them go as they leave your fingertips.

Peace, that’s it! That’s what we need! But how do we get to it? How do we get to that place of peace?
Most gurus will say you have to fight for what you want, take what you need, throw every weapon you can at it until you win!
In God’s economy, it’s flipped (surprise, surprise). In order to fight for what we want, we must surrender. Surrender and victory are not exclusive; in God’s kingdom, they can happen simultaneously.
In that, God takes us from “managed” life to one of mystery and from “control” to chaos to prove His faithfulness and grow our faith. And it’s a beautiful mess of peace that surpasses understanding.
