Anxiety raises key spiritual concerns, such as control, letting go, fear, trust, and priorities for devout Christian clients. This article strives to increase the sensitivity of therapists to these spiritual concerns. While clinical interventions emphasize the management of anxiety, Christian spirituality points beyond mere coping with this disorder to a freedom from it. A review of biblical insights draws the conclusion that the spiritual antidote to anxiety is a radical trust rooted in an intimate relationship with God.Amodel for intervention is presented for helping devout Christian clients develop radical trust and intimate relationships through spiritual resources and spiritual dialogue.
