(Génesis) 35:1

Do you feel like a cloud of worry follows wherever you go? The key to overcoming your anxiety is found in the person of Jesus. He calls us to trust rather than despair - to "not be anxious" and to cast all our cares on Him. This plan is based on the new book Moving Beyond Anxiety by David Chadwick.

Have you ever heard the saying, “They really lived down to their name?” Not really. It is more likely that you would have heard it said that one lived up to their name. When one lives down to their name, it suggest there wasn’t much hope of good for them. In this series we look at the life of Jacob.

There are seasons when everything seems to stall in life, when discouragement, delay, bitterness and pain from unfulfilled promises becomes a daily reality. Through this plan, God provides you with wisdom through His word in the lives of Biblical characters who also were in the valley, but who received help. Through their examples we are able to know that there is God's help even in the valley.

This devotional is about God changing Jacob to Israel. This is a process and the the way God works in our lives. It is good to understand the process and be alive to God's ways in our own lives, and allow Him to transform us to what He wants us to be.
