Courage to Stand

Every one of us will at some point find ourselves going through storms in life. All our certainties crumble; we wonder why God lets this happen and when the storm will subside. This reading plan gives you valuable advice to stand firm in such a situation. This advice is based on a true biblical story from the book of Mark.

Prayer on the Brain

Do you ever feel worried about the future, or anxious about the past? There's a reason for what's happening, and worrying wont help. In this plan, Tony Evans shows that in Christ, there is no such thing as worry, because everything happens as God intends. 

Wiping Out Worry

And so, He is our true hiding place when life hurts. These Our Daily Bread reflections will help you journey with the One who carries our burdens, walks beside us and fills our hearts with hope.

Held by Hope
