1 Já ree̱ 8:23

We hope these five devotions from Eugene Peterson take your mind and heart wherever they may go, as you never know what the Spirit will use to encourage or challenge or comfort. You might choose to use the reflective questions at the end of each devotional to form your own prayer for the day—certainly not as an ending point but rather as a beginning for the arrivals that await you.

Losing a loved one to the impact of addiction is one of the deepest pains we can ever feel. The helplessness and grief can threaten to overwhelm us, but one thing we can always be thankful for—if we can open our eyes long enough to see it—is that God is always with us.

Dr. John Tonsend and Dr. Henry Cloud offer insights from a biblical perspective on the topic of forgiveness. Each day of this 7 day plan will help bring you closer to God and the emotional growth He desires for you.

From the first chapter of Scripture to the last, the Bible tells one unified story of God’s commitment to make all things new. In Genesis, we see the brokenness of sin, but we also see God’s promise that evil will not have the final word. This promise comes into full focus in Jesus, who restores what was lost through His life, death, and resurrection. From beginning to end, Scripture points to the same truth: God is always renewing, restoring, and making all things new.
