We all face moments when the weight of our problems feels too heavy to bear. In times of doubt, fear, or hopelessness, it can be hard to find the right words to ask for God's help. Lord, Save Me! offers just that--a source of wisdom, encouragement, and heartfelt prayers to guide you in your most difficult moments. Bestselling author Gary Zimak understands the grip of anxiety and has experienced the peace that comes from an intimate relationship with Jesus. For more than a decade, he has helped others transform fear into faith through his speaking and writing. Following the success of his book Give Up Worry for Lent!, Zimak now offers Lord, Save Me!, a treasury of 120 prayers designed to help you surrender your worries to God. This book addresses ten common situations that often cause worry, for each one offering: A scripture verse that speaks directly to the struggle you are facing, A practical reflection that sheds light on your burdens through the lens of faith, An original, personal prayer to guide you in reaching out to the Lord. With Lord, Save Me!, Zimak provides a trustworthy resource filled with insights and prayers to help you navigate suffering and rediscover your trust in Jesus Christ--the friend, Lord, and Savior who brings us peace and the fullness of life. "Even though Jesus is a real person who loves us and is capable of easing our burdens," Zimak writes, "we can sometimes lose sight of that in the middle of a crisis. I wrote this book to remind you of that fact and to help you connect with him in the middle of the storm. Jesus is real and will help you just as he helped sinking Peter. No matter how you feel, lean on your faith and give him a chance. He won't let you down."

This book hit me right where I live—the relentless, gnawing anxiety I’ve carried since I was a child. Gary Zimak doesn’t just offer prayers; he reaches deep into those dark places of hopelessness, despair, weariness, and fear that feel all too familiar. What moved me most was how he weaves Scripture through every page, linking God’s Word directly to those raw emotions that can otherwise feel so overwhelming and lonely.
For years, anxiety has been a shadow I couldn’t shake. But lately, with the help of my Bible study and devotional books like this one, I’ve started to reclaim my peace. Lord, Save Me! became a powerful companion on that journey—not because it promises quick fixes, but because it meets you exactly where you are, even in the middle of the storm.
I will be honest: a few devotionals felt a little light on faith—maybe because they’re written for those whose faith is fragile or distant. That’s not my place. My faith is strong, growing every day. And for me, this book reinforced that strength, reminding me again and again that Jesus is real, present, and ready to carry me through when the weight feels too heavy.
If you’re struggling with fear or anxiety, whether your faith is shaky or solid, Lord, Save Me! offers prayers and reflections that feel like a hand reaching out—steady, warm, and unwavering. It’s not just a book; it’s a lifeline. For me, it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, I’m not alone, and that peace is waiting when I lean into Jesus with everything I have.
