Be still... in an anxious world

With Margaret Bale

“Do not be anxious about anything,” Paul urges us but when life gets too busy and too complicated and we find ourselves battling with stress, it isn’t always easy to hear God’s voice saying, “Be still”.  It is then that we most need to take time out and take hold of the peace that Jesus holds out to us.

We will begin this day by looking at the causes of stress before sharing some ideas for freeing ourselves up from anxieties.  After lunch there will be time for individual reflection, using helpful verses from the Bible, as well as opportunity to receive personal prayer.

Margaret is a church leader in Suffolk and a trained counsellor who has supported a number of clients with anxiety issues.  As a volunteer, she assists a Christian counselling charity in providing training in aspects of pastoral care.
