Life doesn't slow down. But you can.
When anxious thoughts compete for your attention, meaningful time with God can begin to feel just out of reach. Releasing Anxiety invites you into a slower rhythm with Scripture—helping you return to God's truth when anxiety rises.
Scripture was never meant to be rushed.
One verse. One week.
A mind renewed. A life transformed.
In a world that moves quickly, even our time with God can begin to feel like another task to complete.
Pages That Linger invites you into a slower rhythm—one where Scripture is not simply read and set aside, but reflected on, prayed through, remembered, and lived out.
Instead of moving from passage to passage, you’ll spend an entire week with one verse. You’ll explore its meaning, discover its context, consider how it applies to your life, and create space for God’s Word to become part of your everyday thoughts and choices.
Because lasting transformation rarely comes from rushing through more information. It comes from taking time to let God’s truth take root.
A different way to approach anxiety
Many devotionals offer encouragement for a moment. Releasing Anxiety invites you into a different rhythm—one that helps God's Word become part of how you think, respond, and walk through everyday life.
Instead of rushing through dozens of passages, you'll spend an entire week with one Scripture verse, giving it time to move from the page into your heart.
This journey is built around four simple practices:
Reflect. Invite God In. Shift Your Focus. Engage.
As you return to the same verse throughout the week, you'll discover that lasting transformation doesn't come from reading more Scripture—it comes from allowing Scripture to reshape your mind, renew your perspective, and guide your response to everyday life.
By the end of 13 weeks, you'll have created My 13-Point Plan to Overcome Anxiety—a personal collection of notes to your future self, capturing what God has taught you and the truths you want to remember when anxiety rises.
A 13-week journey through Scripture
Each week, you'll slow down with one Scripture verse and explore it through reflection, prayer, study, and application. Every step is designed to help God's Word move from something you read into something that shapes how you think, respond, and live.
Your weekly rhythm includes:
Reflect
Begin with a short devotional and guided questions that help you connect Scripture with your own experiences.
Meditate & Memorize
Spend quiet time with God's Word through Scripture coloring and meditation, creating space to focus and remember what God is teaching you.
Dig Deeper
Explore the context behind each verse and discover how understanding Scripture more fully changes the way you apply it.
Apply
Consider practical ways to live out God's truth in everyday situations and record what God is showing you.
Pray
Use guided prayer prompts to bring your worries, questions, and hopes before God.
Review & Remember
Revisit the week's verse through engaging activities that help reinforce what you've learned.
By the end of 13 weeks, you won't simply have completed a devotional—you'll have created a personal collection of Scripture, prayers, reflections, and reminders of God's faithfulness to return to whenever anxiety rises.
A journey readers describe as lasting and meaningful
Releasing Anxiety is designed to be more than a quick moment of encouragement. It is an invitation to slow down, spend time with Scripture, and build a deeper foundation of truth to return to when anxiety rises.
This book was a huge relief... it guides you through it and teaches you how to deal with it and get through it.
