Overcoming Thoughts of Suicide and Self-Harm

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. When pain and confusion strike, it can feel as if God has forgotten us—and stopped making sense altogether.

This 10-day series from the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute draws on Dr. Dobson’s biblical wisdom to help you find hope and strength during life’s most difficult seasons. Discover why even in the darkest valleys, God is still at work—drawing you closer to Him and deepening your faith.

When God Doesn't Make Sense

Depression can feel like walking through unending shadows, but Scripture reminds us that we are never alone in the valley. This 7-day devotional weaves biblical stories with personal reflection to show how faith can coexist with sorrow. From Elijah’s weariness to Jesus in the garden, you’ll discover grace that meets you in weakness, and hope that endures... even in the shadow of chronic depression.

Even in the Shadows: Living With Depression

This 5-day plan explores the vital connection between emotional health and spiritual maturity. Drawing from Scripture, it shows that emotions are not distractions from holiness—they’re part of it. You’ll learn how God expresses emotions, how to steward your own feelings wisely, and how emotional wholeness strengthens your witness. True healing and stability come not from trends, but from the Word of God.

Prioritizing Your Emotions

Confronting the Inner Critic is a 4-day reflective journey designed to help you slow down, notice, and name the voice that keeps you small — without fighting it or fixing it yet. Through gentle awareness, guided prompts, and faith-anchored truths, you’ll learn to stand in love and see yourself the way your Creator does.

Confronting the Inner Critic

Are you feeling weighed down by sin, shame and guilt? Do you feel as though you keep making the same mistakes and poor choices? Well, follow along with this five-day bible plan to learn about the freedom that you can receive through Jesus Christ! “Take a moment right now and make the trade. Let Jesus turn your mourning into dancing” (The Beautiful Exchange – Elisha Jurgensen)

Freedom in Christ

What if just a few minutes of worship each day could change everything? 

When you take time to focus on God, your relationship with Him deepens, and your heart starts to align with His truth and love. 

Even a few moments a day can renew your mind, lift your mood, and help you sense His presence throughout your day. 

Worship softens the heart, lifts heaviness, and frees us from the weight and noise of the world. Our prayer is that this devotional helps you lean into your purpose, see life clearer, and experience God in a fresh, personal way.

Lift Your Hands
