Use Scriptural Wisdom to Manage Anxiety for All Ages

January 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

Three new books in the Media Center offer 4-session studies that use the scriptures and mental health resources to calm anxieties felt by adults, youth, and children.

Finding Peace in an Anxious World
edited by Erin James-Brown

This study by staff of the Urban Village Church uses the book of Proverbs and “The Serenity Prayer” as a guide to help Christians find their way through anxiety, worry, and fear and move towards God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. Each of the 4 sessions looks at a section of “The Serenity Prayer” and teaches a spiritual practice to develop peace.

Managing Anxiety: A Youth Study
by Trudy Rankin, Faye Wilson

This study provides youth with a foundational understanding of anxiety and other emotions while equipping young people with practical ways they can manage them using our Christian faith as a guide.

Managing Our Emotions: A Children’s Study
by Trudy Rankin, Faye Wilson

This study helps children learn about their emotions and accept God’s gift of their entire range of emotions (sadness, joy, excitement, fear, and frustration to name just a few) through four two-hour sessions.
More Info.

These three studies are the 2020 Spiritual Growth studies published by United Methodist Women. The high-quality content of these studies is written for men and women, boys and girls. It is open to all who are interested in engaging with the material.
