Tyndale Class of 2017
Knowing what the Bible says about fear doesn’t always help us feel less anxious. Prayer does not always help either. I wrote this book to explore the spiritual practices and scriptures that can counteract how anxiety works in the brain. When facing anxiety, some forms of prayer are more helpful than others for each person. This is true both spiritually and psychologically. My hope is that this book will help readers with practices that are most useful in dealing with immediate anxiety, other practices for dealing with root causes, and further suggestions that promote long-term freedom from anxiety’s debilitating effects. These practices can deepen our relationship with God and help reduce anxiety at the same time. I have brought together insights from spiritual formation, psychotherapy, and neuroscience, as well as my own personal journey with God through periods of anxiety. These concepts are integrated into a model of life-changing spiritual and psychological transformation that I hope will be a blessing to readers.
