My Favorite Devotionals for Stress and Anxiety

March 26, 2020

The current state of our country has my anxiety at a higher level than normal – as I’m sure many can relate to. I’ve even had friends who do not struggle with anxiety express their anxious feelings during this time. I have a blog post in the works on different ways I’m coping with my anxiety, but for now I wanted to share a few devotionals that might be helpful to some of you. (Please note: these are faith based devotionals, and I understand that is not a similarity we all share). 

 

Find Rest: A Women’s Devotional for Lasting Peace in a Busy Life by Shaunti Feldhahn

I’ve held out on starting this devotional for quite some time, and what better time than now? I love that it focuses on finding rest and peace – something I really need at the moment!

 

 

 

Settle My Soul: 100 Quiet Moments to Meet with Jesus by Ruth Schwenk and Karen Ehman 

I was reading this one to find peace during times of stress with life (and here just a few weeks ago I was complaining about feeling to busy – ha!), but I feel it can apply to this situation too. I think we are all feeling more overwhelmed than ever at the moment – figuring how to assist our children with distant learning while working from home and also taking care of the household. It’s a lot! This is a great one when you just need a quiet moment.

 

 

 

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young

This has been a long time favorite – the devotions are short and to the point, and I love that they’re written in first person, as God is speaking to you. Really great if you need to start your morning on the right foot. 

 

 

Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids by Sarah Young

I honestly might prefer this one over the adult version, truthfully. Something about hearing things in a way they’re meant for children helps a bit. I really enjoy doing this devotional with my children. I’m often left feeling at peace, and it opens up for a great family discussion on how we are feeling too.

 

I hope these help you during this time and in the future! πŸ™‚

    Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents, I recommend this book to all my mom friends. All kids go through different stages of anxiety(afraid of the dark, school, getting out of comfort zone) … and as a parent it teaches you that how you handle your kids anxieties can set them up to remain in the cont cycle of anxiety or break the cycle and give them their own tools and let them handle it.

    I’m one of those who fortunately doesn’t suffer from anxiety, but I have had some anxious feelings through all of this. I’ve been taking an IG break this week actually. I’ve never liked reading a devotional much, just my Bible in the morning, but I noticed the old devotional “Streams in the Desert ” in our church library over a year ago and brought it home. It is by far my absolute favorite!! I’m going through it for the second time. I can’t believe how relevant it is. Ha, that’s how God is though!! 😊
