Worry, Less, Pray More: A Woman's Devotional Guide to Anxiety-Free Living by Donna K. Maltese
4 stars
I struggle with anxiety. I don't have debilitating anxiety, but every now and then I am hit by it in waves. I am particularly anxious right now due to my university changing the policies of the program for education a year before I graduate. It was all very last minute and without warning. So, reading this devotional guide was a nice respite from the stress that I'm currently battling with. Of course, anxiety is a tool that the enemy uses to make us question God's goodness, faithfulness, divinity, and love. However, the verses this novel uses are great and offer a lot of comfort. Devotional guides are hit or miss and there were only a few in here that made me kind of scratch my head in disagreement (pertaining to theology). I'm really glad that I decided to pick this one up though. It didn't change my life, but it brought me great solace, encouragement, and directed me to praying to God instead of letting myself get distracted. I definitely recommend it for those who are struggling with anxiety in everyday life or because of major life-altering situations.

Cover Thoughts: I love this cover! It's one of my favorite illustrations.
Thank you, Netgalley and Barbour Books, for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
