Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Job 42:5

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.”

God is a God of restoration; He can make everything new again by His presence. Whatever we think we may have lost—our dreams, our health, our relationships, our innocence, our economy, our peace—God is able to restore us many times over!

Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, an end of a relationship, sickness, or a seemingly unfulfilled promise, pain and suffering affect us all. Is God close to the brokenhearted? If so, how should we respond in these times? This plan will walk through the journeys of different people in the Bible who walked through disappointment and see how their pain drew them closer to God.

The reflections in The Message Devotional Bible let the wisdom of the Scriptures settle more fully into your spirit. In this devotional, we'll get a taste of Eugene Peterson's insights on Scriptures from Genesis through Jesus's parables and the epistles of John.

Experiencing a miscarriage is one of the most difficult and heart-wrenching losses a woman can go through. It’s often accompanied by anger, doubt, grief, loneliness, and shame, just to name a few.

Do you have spiritual questions that you'd love answers for? Questions regarding faith, religion, God, or the Bible? Watch this video series to get some answers so you can be more certain of the things you hear God saying in His Word.

This plan will look at how the Bible tells us that God is working out all things for those who love Him and how grief and loss do not have the final word; God does.

These are unprecedented times for those of us who are alive on planet earth at this moment. Historically, we can find hope if we turn to the One who made it all and is Lord of all. What does the Bible say about why these things happen, what is God’s response to it, and what is my hope in life and death?

Nobody wishes for difficulty, and yet it’s often difficulty that produces the most beautiful fruit in our lives, making us into the kind of person we most want to be. I pray these reflections are a hopeful companion to those caught in the storms of life. You’re not alone. God is at work. Disorder is merely what we pass through on our way to Reorder. You are being made new.
