    About this ebook

    Be Victorious Over Worry in Your Life!

    Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like “God’s got this!” or “Just pray about it” only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. And whether it’s personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what’s happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.

    In this six-week Bible study on the Book of Joshua, we will join God’s people as they arrive on the edge of the promised land only to find themselves in hostile territory, faced with fear and uncertainty. As we dig into the story of how Joshua and the Israelites claimed God’s promised victory, we’ll discover that winning the worry battle requires more than having faith; it requires learning to fight in faith! Following their bold, courageous footprints, we’ll learn how to fight in faith as we internalize God’s promises, draw strength from God’s faithfulness, act in obedience to God’s commands, and believe what our limitless God can do. Through in-depth study of how God gave the Israelites victory over their enemies and generously blessed them, too, we’ll be equipped with biblical wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools that will enable us to overcome our daily worry struggles as well as the bigger battles of fear that we face.

    This comprehensive leader guide includes full session outlines featuring discussion questions, activities, prayers, leader helps, and more.

    Other available components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, and DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning).

      INTRODUCTION

      If you have you ever found yourself worrying about the bad things that could happen—whether they involve your family, your job, your finances, your health, your future, or our nation or world—then this study is for you. Let’s face it, it’s for all of us! As Christians, we know that we shouldn’t worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. And when we try to fight worry with faith, often we feel that we’re losing the battle. In those moments, well-intentioned comments like God’s got this! or Just pray about it can leave us feeling even more burdened. Whether it’s personal worries or broader concerns, we long for something more than clichés that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.

      There was a time in my life when I was losing the worry battle. In a fallen world filled with bad news, bad people, and bad decisions, worry felt like a handy strategy to keep me on my toes. I thought that if I could answer all of the what ifs, then maybe I could prevent some unknown inconvenience, pain, or tragedy in the future. Those what if questions popped up in every area of my life, and it seemed to make sense to try to find answers to them. Oh, the hours I spent thinking, rethinking, and overthinking all of the uncertainties in my life! What would happen if . . . But then something changed. I wish that I could tell you that I prayed for God to take away my worry and, suddenly, it disappeared and
