Anxious for Nothing (Book Review)

Anxiety affects the best of us, and MaxLucado's book Anxious for Nothing once again provides soothing words for the soul. Lucado's ideas are not revolutionary, but his reminders are apt and well spoken. There is also a healthy dose of psychoeducation presented, too. Above all else, Lucado focuses readers on God and His ability to guide and provide, even in the midst of life's storms.

Pray. Trust. Give Thanks. These are the disciplines Lucado stresses as antidotes to anxiety. Lucado has plenty of good quotes to remind readers to do the same. Here are a few of my favorites:

If you struggle with anxiety, worrying about the past, present, and future (and often all at once), this is a book for you! It's not condemning. It's comforting, while at the same time challenging. I do have a slightly different take on my approach to anxiety after reading. I need to pray specifically, thank God, and choose to focus on the positive. The quotes shared above (along with others) have already reminded me to do these things, and they will probably continue to do so for the long term.
