Isaiah 41:10– Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. The overall message of this book is based on what Paul said in Philippians 4:6: “Be anxious for nothing.” And if someone had a reason to be anxious, it was Paul! Yet, he was able to live in joy.

Lucado offers tips and encouragement for “finding C.A.L.M. in a chaotic world.” C.A.L.M. stands for: For instance, everything is rooted in who you are as what you believe. He even writes "The most important thing about you is your belief system." I cannot disagree more. It's whitewash that doesn't even come close to underlying, genuine experiential anxiety. Rather, it's all about God being sovereign. So if you have anxiety, just remember God's in charge. I'm sorry, but this is so superficial it doesn't even pass cursory theological depth. In John, the Lord Jesus Christ said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World

In John, Christ Jesus said to His disciples, “My peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27). Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. In Hebrews 13:6 it says, “So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’” In Joshua 1:8, we are told to “keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.”Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Many times, our anxiety is caused by fear. We are afraid of what will happen. But God tells us not to be afraid. In Isaiah 41:10 it says, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Max Lucado keeps a sense of humor alongside the wisdom, I love his anecdotes which make the truths easier to remember and the overall tone is one of hope. I love the way each line of the key verse is broken into practical, tangible ways to live it out and counter anxiety. The acronym C.A.L.M. sums it up beautifully. In Isaiah, the Lord says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).
