What Can We Do about Anxiety?
Let’s be honest—there’s a lot in our world that can make us anxious. We can respond to this reality in two ways: We can let it cripple us in fear or we can face it with faith. Our perspective and attitude go a long way in helping us overcome anxiety, but there is no greater antidote available to us than trust—not trust in ourselves or in other people, but trust in a loving God who walks with us and will never abandon us. We don’t have to be ruled by anxious thoughts; we can rely on our gracious and loving heavenly Father.

Lifeway Student Ministry endeavors to help students learn to walk confidently in God's Word and live more like Jesus. As they read through books in Lifeway Students Devotions series, students will learn to Discover God’s Word, Delight in the Lord, and Display God’s work in their lives.

• Discover (Identity + Theology): Who is God? Who am I in light of who God is? These are two of the most important questions students can grapple with because in discovering who God is, they learn who He has meant for them to be. Studies within the Discover category will help students align their lives under God’s rule which will give them confidence in who they were created to be.  
• Delight (Spiritual Disciplines): What does it mean to delight in God? What leads to delight in God? Helping students see God in every detail teaches them to delight in Him. When students find their delight in God, they will learn what it means and how to be in relationship with Him.  
• Display (Leadership, Mission, + Disciple Making): How do students display the glory of God? How do they help others grow in their relationship with Him? How can they lead others to display the truth of God? Through students learning to lead, live on mission, and make disciples, God’s glory is on display and His kingdom is expanded.
