Preaching Tips
- NEVER say "just pray more" or "just trust God" as if anxiety is a sin. Be pastorally sensitive.
- Affirm that seeking professional help (counseling, therapy) is wise, not faithless.
- Incorporate a guided breathing/prayer exercise — let people experience peace, not just hear about it.
