Give Up Worry for Lent!: 40 Days to Finding Peace in Christ

Winner of a third-place award in the backlist beauty category from the Catholic Media Association.

Catholic creator and self-described “recovering worrier” Gary Zimak combines practical spirituality, daily scripture readings, and simple action steps that will help you kick the worry habit as part of your Lenten renewal. He shows you how to let go of the anxiety-producing areas of life in an effort to find the lasting peace that comes from trusting God.

During the season of Lent, Catholics and other Christians often surrender something they enjoy as a measure of penance or self-discipline—and continuously fall back into old habits at the first “Alleluia!” In Give Up Worry for Lent!, Zimak offers fellow worriers practical, scripture-centered advice on how to relinquish the want to keep watch over the uncontrollable—not just for Lent but for good—and how to find peace in Christ.

From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, Zimak guides you to ponder a scripture passage and to apply it to your own life by following four simple steps:

• read
• reflect
• respond
• pray

As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you’re going to find it easier to replace old worries with new messages of hope and to change your life perpetually.
