There are points in life, that everyone will deal with anxiousness. Sometimes we may feel anxious because we are too focused on ourselves. We find ourselves locked into the very things are frustrating us. When we are feeling anxious we need to remember not to only speak, but to listen to God.

The importance of taking the time to relax and to surrender the fear we so often hold on to. We are reminded too never give up hope.


I give 180 Bible Verses for Conquering Anxiety Devotions for Women five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

Carey Scott has the gift of encouragement and perspective. She writes conversationally and without stuffiness. I enjoyed the way she created an entire book about the central theme of anxiety. However, I did not like how Scott used a plethora of Bible translations (several of which are stripped of original context) and in a way where specific translation most closely supported *her own words*, instead of using a scripture from a more reliable translation (ESV for example, as opposed to the Message/Passion/Voice) and explaining what the text actually intended to have communicated. This is not an example of sound biblical scholarship, even for a light-hearted devotional.

I've read a number of devotionals, including some on this topic. I'm not totally sure what I was expecting, but I'm not sure this hit the mark for me. There are some wonderful Bible verses included. However, the content itself was a bit of a surprise. The messages were okay, but I expected more Bible tie-ins.

Lots of great scriptures for people with anxiety disorders. I would definitely recommend this book for those who want to feel closer to God during hard times.

This book was so meaningful, it was exactly what I needed at this time in my life! I'm so glad I read this.

What a great book! 180 Bible verses for conquering anxiety, and so much more. Each Bible verse begins with a title for specific situation, such a maintaining hope, life’s trials, worry, panic, and just general wisdom to get you through the day. After each Bible verse the author gives us real life situations that we can relate back to our lives, and more importantly our stresses (work, kids, relationships, etc.) Each page is a perfect reminder of God’s promises and I feel like this book would great as a daily tool. Would also be a great gift! Thank you to NetGalley and Barbour Books for an advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

I thought this book of Bible verses and meaningful messages was so cute! Unfortunately, the actual content was somewhat of a letdown. I enjoyed the messages the author added that helps the reader apply the scripture and ponder it more, but the author does not use the actual Bible. Some version that makes their own interpretations and translations was used, so some of the scriptures do not come out right.
