Worry and Anxiety

Say Yes to Peace, Help and Healing

Here at Collide, we believe God cares about our worry and anxiety. God cares if we are pacing our halls. God cares if we have insomnia. God cares if we are having anxiety attacks. God cares if we’re icing over it with gin and tonics, hoping that will take it all away. We believe there is another way than worry and anxiety, so we’ve collaborated with Mental Health Professionals from our network that we highly trust, and gathered their top advice, created practical resources, shaped effective exercises, written guided reflections, and published Bible studies, so that you can walk toward the peace and wholeness you desire.
