II Timothée 4:8

In recognition of May being Mental Health Month, this special devotional plan provides tools for helping you find the light in the darkness. If you struggle with the ever-changing world and everything crumbling around you, this is your lifeline from God to keep you grounded and on the road to whole again. Be encouraged by this mental health discussion presented by Bishop T.D. Jakes and Dr. Natasha Stewart-Gresham.

Honor is not a feeling. It is a weight. Psalm 100:3 confronts a culture that has traded reverence for self. It calls us to know who God is and give Him the weight He is due. This plan follows a 2819 Church sermon on authentic weight: honor that does not rise and fall with mood.

Have you ever wanted something so desperately that despite the hindrances and setbacks you persevered until you had it in your grasp? Well, walking with Jesus is similar. Though the road to the finish line can be long, frustrating, bumpy, and filled with so many ups and downs, you can determine to fashion your life like the Apostle Paul and keep your eyes on the prize. God will give you the strength to keep on going and to finish strong.

How many of us have said this year will be different? My prayer is that it really will be. God designed us with a specific purpose. And the life He's given us is meant to be lived pursuing that purpose. Not looking back or standing stagnant, but relentlessly going after Him with passion and expectation. My prayer is that this devotional aids you in that pursuit. Ok, Ready, Set GO!
