Prayers for Anxious Times Meditations, Affirmations and Poems to Calm Your Soul

"This collection of prayers, some by Becca and some by her additional resources, answers any of the concerns we might have on any ordinary day of our lives. Prayer is the answer to our struggle to have peace of mind. Any one of these prayers offers that. And more." —Karen Casey, bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning 

This collection blends timeless poems, heartfelt prayers, meditative reflections, and inspirational words to help readers navigate through the heavy emotions that often accompany feelings such as stress and anxiety. Voices such as Paolo Chehlo, Karen Casey, Emily Dickinson, Henry David Thoreau, Rumi, Maya Angelou, Lao Tzu, and many others serve as a reminder that even in overwhelming moments, turning inward and speaking from the heart can restore balance, perspective, and hope that a brighter future is possible. Their wisdom can show us all that we aren't alone in our struggles, even though the world feels unsteady at times. 

Raised by preachers and teachers, author Becca Anderson has been collecting a lifetime of uplifting prayers, poems, and affirmations in response to what people need and, in this case, the intense and pervasive anxiety and fear millions experience every day.
