Doubt

Depression is often described as dark days. While it can refer to a formally diagnosed disorder or subclinical periods of languishing, depression is clinically understood as prolonged feelings of sadness and loss of interest in life. People experiencing these symptoms are encouraged to seek mental health support. But with or without diagnosis, many people will experience periods of darkness in their mental health journeys. This Sanctuary devotional is for the dark days and nights, be they cloudy or pitch black. 

Note: This devotional may be best suited for individuals with mild to moderate experiences of depression or languishing mental health.

My hope is that as you read, you begin to see where God may be inviting you to pause, realign, and take a step forward with greater clarity and purpose.

I’m Just a Guy: Feeling Stuck at Work

7 Days of Overcoming Anxiety From a Biblical Perspective

Defence mechanisms promise protection, but they often become prisons. Defences are designed to block out the pain… but they also end up blocking purpose and community. In this 7-day journey through the story of Elijah, we’ll uncover the 7 “caves” we hide in, and how God calls us out of them.

Because the cave doesn’t win!  When Jesus rose, He showed us our way out. 

The Cave Doesn't Win

Many Christians live with doubts and fears about the "Mark of the Beast." But what if the mark is a battle for your daily loyalty rather than a technological event? In this 5-day plan, we will discover the biblical context of these marks, how God established His seal long before the Antichrist, and learn how the Holy Spirit is our ultimate guarantee of security today.

Marked: Whose Seal Do You Bear?

Over the centuries, God has chosen ordinary people to accomplish the most extraordinary things. Some of them made excuses, but God chose to use them anyway. The same is true for you and me. He could have used or called others, but He has chosen you and me despite our flaws, fears and insecurities. In this three-day plan, we will see how God strengthens our weaknesses and uses us despite our imperfections. 

God Wants to Use You

We all want to hear from God. But sometimes, it’s hard to know what that means or how to listen. In the Christmas story, God spoke to ordinary people through dreams, angels, Scripture, and the quiet stirrings of the Spirit. Each one had to decide how to respond. Over five days, we’ll look at how Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others heard from God, and what that can teach us about hearing and following him in our everyday lives today.
