Depression

It can be hard to trust God during our struggles.  During our wilderness. He can seem absent from our pain.
But God has promised to never leave or forsake us.  He has promised to lead us beside still waters.
In this 4 day devotional, be challenged to see how God is moving in your circumstance - and how you can redirect your gaze to him in the midst of the storm.

Trusting God During the Struggles

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.

Beyond Desolation: What to Do When You Have Nothing Left

When the enemy comes against us, what can we do? How did Jesus handle being tempted in the wilderness? This is part four of eight in the "Jesus, I Need You" series by Thistlebend Ministries, focusing on drawing closer to Jesus. The plans in this series can be done in any order. See also "Jesus, I Need You" (companion prayer).

Jesus, I Need You Part 4

So many people find themselves trapped by the pit of depression. This study  will help you grasp God’s plan for your deliverance. 

Defeating Depression

In this devotional, I want to share the lifelong impact that I believe comes when we take someone to Jesus. I want us to discover what it looks like to allow ourselves to be carried to Jesus when we can’t find the strength to walk on our own and to experience how it feels to be completely restored by Jesus so we can take up His charge to carry others.

Take It to Jesus: A 3-Day Devotional by Anna Golden

I extend this invitation to deepen healing with Jesus! God has walked me through 12 years of physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual exploitation, and being sex trafficked. For many years, the enemy convinced me that I was too broken & unworthy. Together we will dive into God's truth & grace over our lives! 

Glory in Our Sufferings

The first year of loss can look different for each individual, yet it is equally as difficult to muddle through and see the light at the end of that dark tunnel, especially on specific dates. This plan is designed to help through the grieving of the "unwanted firsts" as each one approaches. There is no perfect response or answer, but a perfect God can and wants to carry you through all these firsts and get you to the other side, and He will if you allow Him to. 

The Unwanted Firsts

How do you bounce back when you've messed up? How do you not get stuck in the rut of failure? Scripture is filled with stories of people who God restored after they experienced failure ... David, Moses, Peter, and the prodigal son are just a few examples. Begin this 5-day devotional and learn how to bounce back from failure and steps to take to forgive yourself. 

Bouncing Back From Failure

This plan will help you understand how each process we go through is not in vain but helps us to grow up and, consequently, help others to get out and be restored.
