Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 2 Corinthians 1:7

We know that God is a caring and loving God so why does He sometimes say “no” to our prayers or circumstances? Why is there confusing silence when it seems that the plans we have prayed are so in line with His will? In this 3-day plan, pray along with someone who has experienced that confusion and that pain. Pray for clarity, but also for understanding and perspective as God takes you through the difficult journey of knowing how to respond when God says “no.”

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez por qué tienes dificultades como cristiano? Cuando te convertirse a Cristo pensabas que te iría chévere, que Cristo estaba ahora a tu lado y de tu lado, que ahora Él se encargaría de deshacer toda dificultad, y que el éxito coronaría todo lo que emprendes, sin interrupción. Pero en cambio, hay momentos en que te ha ido "de la patada", y pareces ser el objeto de la mala suerte, más que sujeto de la bendición. En estos devocionales descubrirás 4 alentadoras verdades para comprender el propósito benigno que Dios tiene para cada dificultad. Y así como la madre en el parto se alivia del dolor considerando la vida que está por alumbrar, la meditación de estas cuatro verdades ayudarán a templar tu dolor y cambiar el valle de lágrimas en fuentes (Sal. 84).

Your pain has a purpose, just as Jesus’s pain had a purpose. God wants to use your story in greater ways than you ever imagined. He wants to transform your scars into beautiful marks of victory.
