Summary

What do you do when anxiety has you whirling around?
 
Help little hearts find God’s big peace in this story about getting lost at the zoo.
 
“God, please help me find the way.”
The heart breathed out as it prayed.
 
When fear and anxiety lead to panicky thoughts, being still can return us to calm. This latest giftable hardcover picture book in the StrongHeart Stories series shows children how a simple exercise grounded in the Bible’s promises can help them find a way to feel God’s peace.
 
Though children often sense when things are spinning out of control, they don’t always know how to bring themselves back to a state of calm. Like every book in the StrongHeart Stories series, The Heart Who Wanted to Find a Way equips children with healthy, loving ways to deal with big feelings. This illustrated story series gives parents the guidance and biblical tools to prepare children for spiritual battles in developmentally appropriate ways—through Scripture, worship, rest, prayer, confession, and community.
