यहोशुअ 21:44

Has life ever thrown you a curve? Sometimes it’s a good surprise – but sometimes it’s a bad one, and it can be devastating. When we get surprised by life, it’s easy to get a victim mentality or ask, “Why me?” But remember this – nothing catches God by surprise. He still has a good plan! Here’s how to keep moving forward, even when you’re surprised by where you find yourself.

You had a need and expected someone to fill it, but the need was not met. You expected someone to treat you the way you wanted to be treated, but they fell short. We can’t escape being let down, but how we manage the hurt is crucial. In this devotional plan, I provide you with coping strategies. Shift your hope and expectation from people to God and receive encouragement today!

Inspired by my book Trust God, Love People, this five-day devotional walks through biblical lessons gleaned from the Old Testament about trusting God when facing uncertainty. When I revisit the stories of Moses, Abraham, and the Israelites, I’m reminded of God’s faithfulness and am encouraged to move forward with courage. May these reflections help you trust God more deeply and walk boldly in His calling for your life.

As you begin a 7-day season of prayer and fasting, step into a divine opportunity to possess God’s promises and take new ground in your life, family, and church. Through daily prayer, fasting, and reading all 24 chapters of the book of Joshua, we believe God will bring breakthrough, growth, and favour. Joshua’s story of faith, courage, and obedience will inspire and challenge us each day. This devotional guide includes morning and evening readings, meditations with reflection questions, and prayers to help you seek God intentionally. Stay consistent, lean in, and expect God to move powerfully during this time.
