Psalms 31:21-24

Looking for purpose? There's one thing keeping you from it: yourself. We create roadblocks from our past. In return, our purpose is flawed from the beginning. But like a mosaic, your purpose is made from the broken pieces. In the Makers & Monsters Devotional Plan, Josh White takes us through the story of David, and how "the man after God's own heart" was also flawed, yet so close to Jesus.

Following themes from her book, The Boat That Wouldn't Sink, Stacee Goetzinger shares Scriptures God has used to communicate his love, mercy, and hope to her heart in some of her darkest days. Each day's devotional is a vulnerable look into Stacee's experience of living with chronic mental illness. You're invited into a journey of hope as God shapes your life into a "boat that doesn't sink" regardless of the storms you may be facing. **NOTICE:** This content includes sensitive themes that some readers may find difficult: Self-Harm & Suicide. Please take care as you read.

Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve. This devotion is designed to look at real-life stories illustrating how God uses suffering to teach, guide and mold us to be more like Jesus. By God’s grace, we can glorify God as we embrace suffering in our lives, knowing that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us.

Despite all the world’s connectivity and social media, studies reveal that isolation and loneliness have become an epidemic. Moreover, we can believe that we are invisible even to God. This devotional centers around four “invisibles” that were visible to God and the lessons we learn from them when we feel invisible and forgotten.
