Have You Felt Like You Are Wasting Your Time Worrying, but Don't Know How to Stop? Whether it is stressing over school, work, family, or all the other struggles of daily life, anxiety can take up so much of our energy and can even make us feel distant from God. Gary Zimak, a self-proclaimed recovering worrier, wants to share how he learned to surrender his apprehensions to Jesus and how that process can bring you a renewed closeness to Christ. A follow up to his bestselling Give Up Worry for Lent!, Zimak returns with an eight-week resource you can use any time of year—by yourself or with a small group—with more insights and habits that will help you win the battle against worry and experience the peace that only Jesus can provide. 8 Weeks to Hopeful Living and Lasting Peace Week 1: It Is Possible to Story Worrying! Week 2: Recognize God's Power Week 3: Turn to Him for Help Week 4: Do What You Can Week 5: Expect Difficulties Week 6: Focus on God Week 7: Surrender Week 8: Look Back Explore these Key Themes We Are Called to Follow and Imitate Jesus Every Day Finding lasting peace can be as easy as heeding Christ's call to walk with him and grow closer to him. Worry Separates Us from Jesus The reason Christ repeatedly stresses that we shouldn't be too anxious is that it can prevent us from turning to him with our needs. Fear Is Different from Worry While fear and worry are used interchangeably, understanding that fear is an emotion that we often cannot control and worry is a mental process that we can work to avoid can help ground you by giving you a sense of what you can and cannot change. Encounters with Jesus Increase Our Peace Staying close to Jesus and growing your relationship with him with prayer will bring you peace, even when outside forces try to steal that peace from you. Breaking Free Is a Process Most people will not be able to give up worry overnight. It is an ongoing effort, and there will be bumps in the road. Perfection isn't required, just the daily "yes" to trying. We Were Made for Joy Remember that God made you for joy and wants to give you the grace to avoid and overcome the habits (like worry) that steal that joy. Give Up Worry for Lent! Let Go of Anger and Stress!
