14 Day Journaling Plan with Bible Verses Relating to Anxiety
If you would like to extend your knowledge and study some Bible verses to help combat anxiety, you are invited to try this 14-Day Journaling Plan. Simply copy the Bible verses, pray about them, and write what comes to mind in a journal. You might want to write the verses on a note card each day, and put it somewhere where you can see it throughout the day. Spending time studying the Bible and praying has strengthened my relationship with the Lord, and this has greatly helped me manage anxiety. I hope this will be a meaningful exercise for you, and that you will be blessed as you study and pray!

easy and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30
