Friends, We find ourselves in a sober moment. These are uncertain times around the world and fears are rising. People who have never felt anxious before are suddenly weighed down with worry and are not sure what to do next. Do you need encouragement right about now? Are you feeling anxious and uncertain? Do you find yourself in a season of isolation as events cancel, schools shift online, and churches close their doors to large gatherings? When I need to stay calm, I turn to this Scripture: “Do not be anxious about anything, but 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” (Phil 4:6-7, NIV). If you need help finding peace that transcends all understanding, I would like to invite you to join me for two special online events: 1. Online Church – we know that many will be unable to worship with their local congregation, either because of the need to remain at home, or because their church is taking a hiatus from regular gathering. Or maybe you just need some extra support from a community of faith. We’ll meet online, via Facebook Live at 8:30 am CDT on Sunday, March 15, for a few minutes of prayer and encouragement, and will continue for the next several Sundays (March 15 - April 26). Join us and invite others as well. https://www.facebook.com/maxlucado/ 2. Anxious for Nothing Online Bible Study – starting Sunday, March 22, we will be offering a free online Bible study based on my book Anxious for Nothing. My prayer is that this study provides practical help for all of us as we seek to entrust our fears to God. These videos will be available to you and anyone who needs them for free through May 2. We would love for you to join us. You can sign up here and get free access to helpful resources. As we spend time together over the next few weeks, we can encourage one another. These challenges are great, but God is greater. Let us cast our worries on the Savior and Sustainer of our lives. ~ Max Lucado

It is not God's will that you face every day with dread and trepidation. He made you for more than a life of breath-stealing angst and mind-splitting worry. He has a new chapter for your life. And He is ready to write it. ~ Max
ABOUT ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING
In Anxious for Nothing, you'll dive deep into Scripture with Max and explore God's treatment plan for anxiety found in the most underlined verse in the Bible:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7
The book and companion study will help you...
- reach calm in chaos by working through worry step by step,
- find comfort in prayer during stressful and uncertain times,
- be reminded of God's Word by meditating on Philippians 4:6-7,
- and find peace in His presence.
