Job 3:20

We all face challenging times. Some hardships are small and short-lived, while others are especially difficult and leave lasting scars. One of our great assurances as believers is that Jesus knows we will have trouble, but He has overcome on our behalf (John 16:33). As you experience trials, rest in God’s presence and take joy in His promises to you. This five-day series was written by Joy Petroelje.

We all experience great loss- the loss of a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply the loss of life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way and so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. Join us for a 5-part plan that will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.

For caregivers seeking hope, this 5-day plan, created by Shelly Calcagno, author of "The Longest Goodbye: A Family’s Hope-Filled Journey Through Alzheimer’s," offers guidance and encouragement. Drawing from her family's decade-long experience walking a long journey of loss, Shelly aims to inspire readers to find moments of joy and discover hidden gifts, even during their most challenging circumstances.

Prayer is a mystery. How do we pray? What do we pray for? If God already knows everything, why do we pray? We know prayer is a crucial aspect of the life of a Christian, but it is often a challenge. Going through the example that Jesus gave us in the Lord’s Prayer, we will explore different elements of prayer and discover ways to develop our own prayer life.
