Izaija 42:16

Jesus has been shining His light into the world since time began. This 5-day devotion series, shared by The Lutheran Home Association’s chaplains, focuses how he shines light into our hearts. With God in our lives, we have everything we need to shine bright on even our darkest days.

Acts 28 might seem like the end, but it’s really just the beginning. This 5-day plan 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.

We’ve all been there. Trying so hard to make the right decision that we freeze. Over analysis brings paralysis, and we just keep running the same tormenting thoughts over and over in our minds, unable to decide. These five devotionals can give you a new perspective and help you get unstuck so you can make the right God-decision for your life.

Mama, God sees you. He knows the quiet sacrifices you make as a stepmom and honors your courageous heart. You are not alone; He walks with you every step of the way. This devotional, inspired by Deb Weakly’s childhood with three stepmoms, offers daily encouragement to strengthen you and remind you of your sacred role as a Bonus Mom. Each day includes Scripture and heartfelt prayers to uplift and equip you. Whether you're weary or hopeful, let God renew your heart with grace and purpose. You are a brave mom, chosen for such a time as this.
