Christmas is supposed to be a season of joy –– but what exactly is joy and how do you choose it when the world is filled with hurt and hardship? Discover what “joy to the world” really means by immersing yourself in the Christmas story with this special, 7-day Christmas Plan. 

Joy: A Countdown to Christmas

If you find yourself constantly struggling with worry and anxiety, this Bible Plan is for you. There will not be a quick formula that guarantees 100% peace nor will everything related to anxiety be addressed. However, the principles contained in this Plan offer pathways toward victory when they are lived out. You’re invited to begin this journey from anxiety to peace.

From Anxiety to Peace 

Our hearts are postured to worship. As Christ followers, we were created by God to worship Him. But we tend to offer our adoration and allegiance to people and things other than Him. Come along with us on this journey as we dive into what worship is and how we can learn to live a lifestyle that puts God as the top priority in our lives.

What Does It Mean To Worship?

Every day has the potential to introduce complex new challenges into our lives. But it’s equally likely that each new day will gift us with exciting new opportunities. In this seven-day devotional, staff members at YouVersion help you apply truths from God’s Word to whatever you’re facing today. Each day’s devotional includes a Verse Image to help you share what God is speaking to you.

7 Things The Bible Says About Anxiety

There’s something special about Christmas that tends to bring out the best in all of us. We’re usually kinder, more generous, and spend more time with those we love. But what if it didn’t have to end in December? What if we could celebrate Christmas every day?

Merry & Bright: Celebrating Christmas Every Day

Do you ever feel like you have little control over the thoughts in your head? Most of us struggle with negativity, worry, and other toxic thoughts. In this 5-day Bible Plan, we’ll learn how to overhaul toxic thoughts, reset our minds, and focus our thinking on Christ. 

Reset Your Mind: Overhauling Toxic Thoughts

When we become followers of Jesus, we begin a lifelong journey of growth. A part of growing in our faith is learning how to share the good news about Jesus with other people. In this 5-day Plan, we’ll learn how to share the hope and peace we have in Christ—and how that could change someone's life!

Sharing Your Faith

The Apostle Paul wrote that out of everything in life, three things remain: faith, hope, and love. What do these actually mean for us as followers of Jesus, and how do we live them out? In this 4-day Plan, we’ll learn more about these attributes, and understand how to live a life where we daily exercise faith, hope, and love.

Faith, Hope, & Love

As Christ followers, we all prefer mountaintop experiences in our faith. But, it’s usually in the spiritual valleys where we learn and grow, and where our faith expands. After reading this 5-day Plan, you’ll have the insight to handle these spiritual bleak times with grace and hope and be encouraged that God is working in them even if you don’t feel it.
