Just Rest: A 90 Day Devotional Journal - Melanie Redd

Just Rest: A 90 Day Devotional Journal available April 26, 2022.

About the book…

Rest.

For your soul.

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety and depression affect 40 million adults in the US age 18 and above. This is 18% of the total population.

I also read about a group of college counseling directors that were surveyed. 95% said, “the number of students with significant psychological problems is a growing concern in their center or on campus.”

In fact, this same article suggested that the biggest problem impacting college students today is anxiety; depression was a close second.

It’s possible that you are one of those who really do struggle with worry, fear, anxiety, or depression.

Possibly, you deal with all of these challenges. Or, you may have picked up this book because you would like to experience more rest, more peace, and calmness deep within the depths of your soul. You are weary.

There is also a chance that your mom, grandmother, teacher, coach, or one of your mentors gave you this book. You are reading it to be nice to them. That’s okay too!

No matter your reason for reading, the goal is the same. We are going to learn how to find deep rest for your soul.

Peace in all aspects of life:

Over worry

Over anxiety

When depressed or sad

When bullied

Or, when your friends leave you out or don’t understand you

In your addictions

In your health and finances

When you feel stressed

In your appearance

As you choose your major

As you decide your career

For your future

As you are dating or not dating

When you feel alone

When you lack inspiration

As you feel homesick

When there is FOMO

When you feel competition

As you deal with all the pressures of your life, there can be peace.

Quiet and peaceful no matter how loud the storms get.

That’s what we are going for in this new devotional book!
