Have you ever lain in bed at night, exhausted—but unable to quiet your thoughts? Or felt that tightness in your chest, the racing worries, the sense that you should be okay… but you’re not? If that sounds familiar, today’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast was recorded with you in mind.

I’m joined by my dear friend Becky Keife to talk about her new devotional, A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul—and this conversation is both tender and deeply hopeful. Becky shares her own journey with anxiety, the freedom that came through honesty, and the simple, grace-filled ways God meets us right in the middle of our anxious moments.

We talk about:
• Why anxiety is so common—and why you’re not weak for feeling it
• How Scripture offers real comfort for weary, overwhelmed hearts
• Practical peace practices you can actually live out (even on hard days)
• Letting go of shame and learning to receive God’s compassion
• Resting in God’s presence when you don’t even have words to pray

What I love most about Becky’s approach is this reminder: God doesn’t shame us for our anxiety. He draws near. He invites us to come, to rest, and to receive His peace—one breath, one prayer, one verse at a time.

If your soul has been craving calm, reassurance, or simply the reminder that you are not alone, this episode will be a gift to you.

The Love Offering

In this episode of The Love Offering Podcast, Rachael Adams sits down with Bible teacher and author Becky Keife to discuss her devotional A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul and the hope Scripture offers to anxious hearts. Becky vulnerably shares her personal journey with anxiety, breaking the stigma around mental health and reminding listeners they are not weak or alone in their struggles. Together, they explore why anxiety is so prevalent today, how God meets us with compassion rather than shame, and the power of simple, embodied practices—like breath prayers, rest, and Scripture meditation—to experience Jesus’ peace in everyday life. The conversation gently reassures listeners that anxiety does not disqualify them from faith; rather, it can be a place where God draws near, offering comfort, rest, and renewed trust, one verse at a time.
