Grief has many phases, and some phases make it difficult for us to find the words or motivation to pray. In the moments when we need God the most but can’t seem to connect with Him, this 21-day reading plan can give us language to bridge the gap. It helps you remember that God is close to the brokenhearted, deeply attentive to your pain, and capable of healing and restoring all of us. Each day, read a short message about a promise from God, find a corresponding Scripture, and let the daily prayer guide your time with the Lord.

This meditative reflection on 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 about Paul’s thorn in the flesh, starts and finishes with a celebration of God’s abundant grace. In between, we explore the enigma of human suffering. What should our response be to the agony of our painful thorns? This plan will help you set your sails to receive the wind of God’s lavish grace.

"One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'” Luke 11:1 “Lord, teach us to pray” is a powerful five-word prayer and the focus of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Join us as we learn how Jesus answered this prayer for his disciples and for us. Pray these five words.

This 21-day devotional from Second Baptist Church was created to serve as a companion as you celebrate Easter, the Day of days, and draw nearer to Him during this holy season. The selections are from various experiences, anecdotes, and teachings from Dr. Ed Young.

The James River Church 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer Devotional plan is designed to encourage and strengthen you as you devote this time to walking closer with the Lord. Each day, the plan consists of short devotions and a Scripture reading plan. We know that as you spend time fasting and praying, we will see God do greater things in our lives, churches, and world!

In His most familiar prayer, Jesus uttered a four-word "dangerous prayer:" "Your will be done" (Matthew 6:10). It takes trust in God's goodness and faithfulness to pray for His will in our lives. I want to invite you to have the same heart and desire as Jesus and to follow His lead in these four words: "Your will be done."

God alone is our refuge. When the foundations around us are shaken, He is the shelter we run to. God alone can bring peace in the chaos, joy in the sorrow, and hope in the darkness. All we need to do is be still and know.

The Bible says, “What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face” (1 Corinthians 13:12). In this series, Pastor Rick explains eternal realities and the choices you must make to determine your eternal destiny and how you should live on this side of eternity.

Jesus said that the pathway to being happy and free is found at the end of me. It’s one of those upside-down teachings that is completely opposite of how we think success and happiness work. So, if you want more than a few fleeting moments of happiness, this reading plan is especially for you.

This devotion will take you through the entire book of James.

For James, Christians (that is, followers of his half-brother) should reflect the character of their God. And what we find in this letter is not works and more works as sometimes thought to be. On the contrary it is a letter infused by God’s character, with the intention of making God-shaped people living in the world.

Have you ever wondered if God really loves you and uses your life? Advent is the perfect time to see how God wants to capture our hearts by His love. Explore the season through the eyes of someone on a journey to find meaning beyond the traditional Christmas story we all know. This devotional brings a unique approach to December as we consider 25 ways God “wows” us with Jesus.

James often is compact in length but overflows with powerful lessons on godly living. In this Love God Greatly study, take a look into God’s wisdom when it comes to suffering, the power of prayer, the importance of controlling the tongue, and the danger of wealth. James challenges us to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk; to live out our faith in a bold pursuit of holiness. 

While others may make promises and break them, God never does, because He is the Ultimate Promisekeeper. What He promises, He fulfills. In this four week study on the promises of God, we will look at how God promises to be with, guide, help, and sustain you. Because God is holy, it is not hard for Him to keep His promises which are unfailing, unchanging, and true.

Whatever December looks like for you, wherever you are, whoever you are with or not with, our hope is that you will set aside time every day over the next four weeks to open God’s Word. We will have short devotionals each day to help you reflect on the day’s reading. We pray that you will see Jesus in a new light this Christmas.

Christmas is a time when we as believers celebrate God’s heart to write himself into our story. Prior to Jesus, we had no real picture of God’s love. All we had to know him by was through stories of old and commandments written into law. But only in Jesus was a pathway created whereby we could walk in intimacy with the Father again. Only in Jesus was the veil torn, allowing God’s manifest presence into the earth. We owe all that we have to Jesus. We owe all that we have to Christmas.

Exclusion can be wounding. This was not a foreign concept to the audience of 1 Peter. As followers of Jesus, this book reshapes our understanding of what it means to live from the overflow of hope in Christ as we live as exiled people in an increasingly hostile society.

Welcome to the Life on Mission devotional. We can often get overwhelmed with the demands of life and chaos of our world. We quickly forget that God has a mission for us while on earth. There are amazing things for you to see, do and accomplish and God empowers you to do all of them. This devotional is meant to get your life out of a rut and onto God’s mission for your life. Every third day there will be a “mission” for you to apply to your life. We’re God’s people, on a mission, to reflect his goodness to the entire world. Let’s do this!

In this 30-day reading plan, Francis and Lisa Chan set aside typical approaches to talking about marriage and dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls. In the same way that Crazy Love changed the way we view our personal relationships with God, You and Me Forever will shift the way we view our marriage relationships.
