She doesn't call it anxiety.

She calls it being prepared. Staying on top of things. Making sure everything goes the way it's supposed to go — because if she doesn't, who will?

She wakes up before the alarm. She runs the list before her feet hit the floor. She has already planned for the worst-case scenario before breakfast. She is capable, competent, and quietly exhausted — and she has been this way for so long that she doesn't remember what it felt like to set something down and actually leave it there.

This book is for her.

Palms Up is a 40-day devotional built around one simple, daily practice: opening your hands. Not as a metaphor. As a physical act of trust — breath by breath, day by day — until the woman who controls everything learns to let God hold it.
Each day includes:
  • A short devotional that names the grip, names the fear underneath it, and meets it with Scripture
  • A breath prayer — one inhale phrase, one exhale phrase — to carry through the day
  • A 7-minute practice that is concrete, embodied, and actually doable
  • A grace statement — because the woman who controls everything is often hardest on herself

Built around the six-beat ANCHOR framework — Acknowledge, Name, Connect, Hold, Output, Rest — this devotional moves from learning to see the grip, to naming the fear underneath it, to practicing one small surrender at a time, to living open-handed in the hardest, most specific moments of real life: the morning before the house wakes, the workplace spiral, the church parking lot, the worst-case scenario that never came.

This is not a book about having less anxiety.

It is a book about learning to stop letting fear hold the pen.

By Day 40, you will not be a woman who has solved her anxiety. You will be a woman who has practiced — imperfectly, incompletely, sometimes for only forty-five seconds before the guilt returned — the daily act of coming to God with open hands.

And that is exactly enough.

Perfect for individual study or small groups — includes 8 Group Gathering guides for an 8-week study.
