Psalms 102:16-18

Life is not easy, and many negative emotions come with the hard days. Generally, we deal with them by venting, stewing, or hiding. Did you know many Psalms are prayers born out of these strong emotions? These reading plans will explore the raw and honest prayers of fear, pain, guilt, and doubt found in the Psalms, teaching us how to share these feelings with the Lord.

While there is only one path to God through Jesus, there are many ways to connect with Him. Over the next 12 days, we invite you to explore which of these 12 methods resonates most deeply with you. Is it Adoration, Compassion, Conversation, Creation, Expression, Fasting, Learning, Meditation, Movement, Reformation, Remembrance, or Solitude? Join us and discover how you connect best!

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.

Celebrate Hope: Looking Back, Stepping Up is an invitation to find where God has been present with us in difficult days long past and where God is present with us now. Certainly God has been our help in ‘ages past,’ and God remains ‘our hope for years to come.’ Celebrate Hope provides us with this needed reminder and offers us the strength to carry on.
