What's inside

60 days, in six parts

Start at the front, or start wherever it hurts today.

Part 1 The 11 P.M. Brain If your brain won't shut off at night.

Part 2 Too Much on the List If the list is longer than the day.

Part 3 Mom Guilt If you feel like you're failing them.

Part 4 Doing It All Alone If you're carrying it all by yourself.

Part 5 Scared for the Kids If you can't stop worrying about your kids.

Part 6 Letting Yourself Rest If you've forgotten how to rest.

What each day looks like

A Bible verse, with a little of its background
A short, honest reading
A short prayer
A "Your turn" page with one question
On about half the days, a small "Try This" from trusted health sources (30 in all, listed at the back)

Any stage of faith is welcome, including "not sure." This book is not a substitute for a doctor or counselor. When worry is heavy, they come first.
