Joba 13:15

When unexpected challenges upend the good plans we’ve made for our lives, how can we begin to respond in faith? This five-day devotional offers a thoughtful, compassionate exploration of the subject of how we can take first steps in processing those losses with honesty and courage.

Desolation: A condition of extreme emptiness, hopelessness, sadness, devastation. Can you relate? During times of desolation, whether in life (e.g. loss of job, home, relationship) or in your internal world (e.g. burnout, dark night of the soul), hope feels elusive. Over the next five days, we will explore what perpetuates desolation, meet others in Scripture who experienced it, and learn ways to move towards more fullness and hope.

This five-day devotional is written from the middle of an ongoing battle—standing firm, believing God for a miracle, while walking through uncertainty and unanswered prayer. It reflects faith formed through endurance and trust in God when nothing changes.
