Romanos 9:1

When life raises hard questions, discover a God you can trust.

When you know Jesus intimately, it’s only natural to long for your loved ones to know Him too. Often with this waiting comes weariness, sometimes even a sense of hopelessness. This encouraging devotional guides us in prayerful lament over those who don’t know Jesus as it reminds us that a loved one’s salvation is ultimately in God’s hands.

Witnessing to Jesus and living the gospel will be met with opposition, and we can find ourselves going head-to-head. This 5-day plan uses Acts 13 to help you navigate those times. It continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Have you ever loved someone who feels far from God, or felt like belonging is something you have to earn? Romans 9 meets both. Across five days, walk through Paul’s own grief for people who do not yet believe, discover that God’s calling was never based on performance, wrestle honestly with mercy and fairness, and watch outsiders become family. The week ends with one of Scripture’s widest promises: whoever believes will not be put to shame. Written for anyone tired of chasing approval, this plan offers rest instead of striving.
