This is one of those books that can change your life. Spoken from the voice of someone who has been in “those shoes” she offers real, practical advice…and a soothing voice that says you are not alone. I read this book with a yellow highlighter…that’s how good it is. I will review it often for the practical tips it provides.

I picked up this self-help religious book at a garage sale. The title caught my eye and I’m glad it did. The author, Jennie is a married mom of 4, leading a spiritual life. She writes about waking up at 3 a.m., her doubt, her disbelief, her losing her spiritual footing. Jennie talks about our chaotic thoughts that lead to wild emotions that tell us how to behave. Behaviors that affect our relationships. If you ask Google how many thoughts are negative for people per day, it will tell you 70%. From that, emotions surface, frustration, anger, despair, hopelessness, embarrassment, inadequacy, and shame. Quiet time isn’t quiet, right? Our heads get noisier when no one is around.
You need to be quiet with God. Meditate and pray. Your brain will be physically altered. Anxiety and depression will decrease.
Jennie quotes from the bible many times but this is one of the quotes from Philippians 4. Paul wrote: Do not be anxious about anything. In every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.
So, in other words, do not be anxious about anything. When Paul wrote those words, he had a lot to be anxious about. He was locked in prison with a death sentence on his head and yet he meant what he wrote. We need to trust God.
Now, especially in these times, we need to trust in God.
