Renewing your mind will lead to a transformed life.

Have you been feeling weighed down by worry? Or caught up in a web of self-critical thoughts? The good news is that with God's help, you can learn to renew your mind, break free from negative patterns, and become a little more like Jesus every day. This six-session Bible study explores three scripture-based tools for managing your thoughts:

• Practice Picky Thinking: Monitor the airspace of your thoughts and don't allow the destructive ones to land.
• Identify UFOs: Scan for any untruths that are creating false narratives that are leading to overreactions.
• Uproot and Replant: Don't let the ugly weeds of Satan's lies grow. Pull them up by the roots and replace them with God's truth.

These three tools will help you take every thought captive and test the messages that replay in your mind against the truth of God's Word. You will also learn to overcome common thought traps like anxiety, guilt, rejection, dissatisfaction, and more. No matter who you are or where you come from, progress is possible.

Breathe deeply and find rest when you exchange your anxieties for God's peace.

In an uncertain world, it's not always easy to put our worries into God's hands. In Calm Moments for Anxious Days, beloved author and pastor Max Lucado weaves together biblical promises, gentle illustrations, and thoughtful practices to help you calm your anxious heart and find a peace that is beyond understanding.

Do you long to let go of the anxiety that weighs on you, to breathe out the fear that hangs over your days, and to breathe in the calm? Whether you're facing grief or trauma, questioning your value or purpose, fatigued by the everyday trials of life, or wondering if that cloud of fear will ever leave you, Max has words of truth and hope from Scripture just for you.

Calm Moments for Anxious Days includes Scripture, devotional thoughts, and practical tools to help you release your anxieties one by one, breath by breath, into the safe hands of a God who will never leave you. Each brief but powerful entry includes:

• A heartfelt devotion with ideas for applying God's Word to your circumstances
• A biblically-based promise or affirmation to replace your spiraling thoughts
• Space for you to write out prayers, worries, and reminders of God's faithfulness
