Calm My Anxious Heart Calm My Anxious Heart
By Linda Dillow / Nav Press

Imagine what life would be like without worry. Women often worry quite a bit. We worry about our children, our friends, our careers, our families, our spouses - the list could go on. Yes, we want to be content and trust God with our worries, but it's often a struggle to let go and free ourselves from the burden of anxiety.

If you're tired of worrying about all the "what ifs" in your life and want to experience the calm and contentment promised in Scripture, Calm My Anxious Heart is what you've been looking for. Filled with encouragement and practical help for overcoming anxiety, this book includes a twelve-week Bible study to help you discover what the Bible says about contentment and ways to apply it to your daily life.

With Calm My Anxious Heart you will learn to let go of your anxiety and experience the contentment that comes from trusting God.
