Panic to Peace: 30 Days of Hope (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962581103)

Do you struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or both? You may be tired of feeling overwhelmed and unable to function. You may long to interact with family and friends and move beyond anxiety and depression valleys. Then, the 30-day devotional Panic to Peace by Tricia Opitz is a must-read for you. This book promises you hope, help, and healing in your distress. You will relate to Tricia's personal stories from her experience with anxiety and depression. The Holy Spirit will use the Bible verses she references, which comforted her, to speak to your needs.

Sufferers of anxiety or depression disorders aren't alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the United States, affecting 40 million adults annually. The ADAA also says that 264 million people worldwide live with depression. Men and women of all ages suffer from these psychological issues.

Misery may love company, but knowing others suffer doesn't help you feel better. It doesn't assist you in climbing out of the valleys of anxiety and depression. That's why Tricia wrote Panic to Peace. You'll find encouragement for each day on every page, and you'll make progress toward mental wellness as you respond to action steps. There is also room to write down your reactions and reflections on the journal lines. That helps relieve tension. Writing in a journal allows you to put your thoughts on paper where you can see and deal with them.

Music often calms the anxious soul and cheers a discouraged heart, so Tricia has included an appendix of encouraging songs and hymns that cheered her. Her prayers at the end of each devotion lead you to put your heart cries into words you can bring to God. He hears you, loves you, and promises to heal the brokenhearted.

Pick up Panic to Peace, 30 Days of Hope to jump-start your progress from anxiety and depression toward peace. Or consider sharing with someone who suffers.
