Psalms for the Anxious Heart: A 30-Day Devotional for Uncertain Times is a calming and inspirational book by Becky Harling. This book provides a way to seek peace in this world, especially during difficult times of uncertainty and unknown.

Life is always uncertain and unpredictable, and we all experience various peaks and valleys throughout our lifetimes. However, the unprecedented repercussions of a global pandemic has completely changed almost every aspect of our lives, and some people are dealing with more extreme change and pain than others. 

While reading through the biblical book of Psalms, Harling helps readers, like myself, to focus on peace instead of anxiety that this world might bring. This small sized book includes short, daily devotionals for thirty days, as the title indicates. Each devotion includes a Psalm scripture, devotional text about the verses, a truth to contemplate upon, and song suggested for readers to expand their devotional time. 

Psalms for the Anxious Heart is recommended for those seeking hope and peace, as well as moments of relief during these uncertain times. Take a step away from the difficult situations that this world brings, and meditate on the truth and peace of God.

Note: I received this book from Moody Newsroom, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
