Isaiah 1:16

This five-day journey through scripture outlines our responsibility as believers in bringing about justice and racial reconciliation.

As you pray to God for guidance, it sometimes seems that God is not listening. Even when you are eager to hear a response – any response – God remains silent. In these readings, we uncover six reasons why God might not be answering your prayers. Each of the reasons comes straight from the Bible and gives you an actionable checklist to ensure your prayer life is on track.

Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting. Join Melissa Spoelstra for this 5-day study and discover that Isaiah’s words reveal you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong and a different lifestyle to match it. This series of 5-day plans uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.
