You don't have to live in fear if you truly believe that God will help you with anything that life sends your way. Let Gary Zimak help you reach for God's hope.Zimak, author of the bestselling book Give Up Worry for Lent!, explores two Gospel stories of Jesus calming stormsand his disciplesto show you how to manage the big feelings of fear in your life. His practical retelling of the familiar stories, when Jesus is asleep in the boat and when he walks across the water toward his disciples, is an invitation to encounter the Lord in the midst of your own storms and move from discouragement to courage and away from anxiety and toward hope.Fear is like a smoke alarm, Zimak says. It's designed to warn you of impending danger so you can take appropriate actionand maybe even save your life. But often your internal alarm system is too sensitive. As a result, you're afraid when you shouldn't be.';We're afraid because we don't believe that God loves us, is with us, and is bigger than our problems,' Zimak writes.In Let Go of Your Fear, you'll discover:No matter how bad things look, there is always hope.God allows storms in your life to remind you to rely on him.God is sometimes silent but he is never absent.Jesus understands our feelings.
