Overview

Do you struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or both? You may be tired of feeling overwhelmed and unable to function. You may long to interact with family and friends and move beyond anxiety and depression valleys. Then, the 30-day devotional Panic to Peace by Tricia Opitz is a must-read for you. This book promises you hope, help, and healing in your distress. You will relate to Tricia's personal stories from her experience with anxiety and depression. The Holy Spirit will use the Bible verses she references, which comforted her, to speak to your needs. Sufferers of anxiety or depression disorders aren't alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the United States, affecting 40 million adults annually. The ADAA also says that 264 million people worldwide live with depression. Men and women of all ages suffer from these psychological issues. Misery may love company, but knowing others suffer doesn't help you feel better. It doesn't assist you in climbing out of the valleys of anxiety and depression. That's why Tricia wrote Panic to Peace. You'll find encouragement for each day on every page, and you'll make progress toward mental wellness as you respond to action steps. There is also room to write down your reactions and reflections on the journal lines. That helps relieve tension. Writing in a journal allows you to put your thoughts on paper where you can see and deal with them. Music often calms the anxious soul and cheers a discouraged heart, so Tricia has included an appendix of encouraging songs and hymns that cheered her. Her prayers at the end of each devotion lead you to put your heart cries into words you can bring to God. He hears you, loves you, and promises to heal the brokenhearted. Pick up Panic to Peace, 30 Days of Hope to jump-start your progress from anxiety and depression toward peace. Or consider sharing with someone who suffers.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which is a treasure trove of hope for those troubled with anxiety, depression, or both. The author shares her experience with both and encourages the reader to hope in the Lord, be patient while healing occurs, and rely on the Lord in dark times. Even when we don't feel Him present, He is. Reading her story of trial to triumph greatly encouraged me. I highly recommend this book even if you don't struggle with anxiety or depression. It is a message of God's goodness and instills hope in the reader. Andrea Lende I loved Tricia Opitz's new book, Panic to Peace. Her love of books is translated from handling others' writing and being that quiet voice of guidance in the library to writing devotions encouraging others to find victory through depression and anxiety. As a Pastor, I was especially blessed by her testimony that she was moved to write by her Pastor's sermon one Sunday. In her own words, she says, ""Your battle with depression, anxiety, or panic may seem like it won't end, but I believe it will. One step at a time, one day at a time, God will show you more about the beautiful life He has planned for you."" I highly recommend you take this 30-day devotional journey to hope and healing. Edsel Bone I bought this book as I have suffered from depression, panic disorders, and anxiety. It has encouraged me to know that Tricia has also walked this road and recovered with God's help and healing. With scriptures, a prayer, and advice for your next steps each day, this book is like having a friend share her journey with you...giving you hope that you, too, can go from panic to peace. Patricia J Doucet Tricia understands what it means to lose hope, but through her book, Panic to Peace, she offers hope through a 30-day devotional, sharing her own stories and directing us to the Bible, where we can find hope. Ruth Hovsepian Tricia offers powerful words of encouragement and hope for all who experience depression and anxiety on this life journey. She provides a candid look into her journal and reflections on what helped her find her way out of her mental crisis. Crediting God's blessings of scripture, medicine, and faith, she is living proof of HOPE for healing amid the mental health crisis many face today. --Amy Patterson, MSW Tricia Opitz candidly shares her struggles with anxiety and depression, a rapidly growing societal issue affecting all ages. She offers devotions, suggested activities, and journal pages to support and guide those who battle these mental health issues. While there are no quick fixes, Tricia's insights provide a valuable tool to help others cope with these challenges. --Mary Strong"
