It is possible to live with less fear, worry, and anxiety.
Hi friend,
If you're like me, you've probably never really considered yourself controlling. After all, you’re laid-back and flexible.
But maybe your worries have compelled you to try to manage people you love because you know their choices aren't going to play out well. Or, maybe you've felt like you had to take hold of a situation because you've asked God to intervene many times without seeing any change. You’ve experienced loss and heartbreak, and you just can’t keep living under the crushing weight that everything really does depend on you.
Through this study, here's what I want you to know: It is possible to live with less fear, worry, and anxiety, even in the midst of uncertainty and unknown outcomes.
I’m so grateful for all that I’ve learned, and I can’t wait to teach you. Let’s learn how to do what we can but then trust God with the things outside our control.
We can do this: We can rest in His love that never changes. And the more convinced we are that He loves us, the more we can trust Him to carry what we cannot.
Let’s get started!
Love,
Lysa
