Anxious for Nothing

by Max Lucado

Built on Philippians 4: celebrate God's goodness, ask for help, leave your concerns, meditate on good things (CALM). Lucado's warm, short-sentence style applied to anxiety, with a study guide. Pastoral, not clinical.

Skip it if…

you have an anxiety disorder; this is not treatment.

Try instead: The Applause of Heaven →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Celebrate, ask, leave, meditate.
  2. Anxiety is not a sin; it is an emotion.
  3. Fix your thoughts on what is true.

Do this first

Practise CALM on one worry this week.

Our verdict

CALM, pastorally.
