Job 1:20-22

This devotional helps married couples to navigate the storms of life together. Working through the book of Job, Sarah Walton (author of "Hope when it Hurts") and her husband Jeff reflect on their own experiences in a marriage that has faced chronic illness, baggage from the past, a child with neurological challenges, and financial difficulties—and show how to cling to Christ and each other.

Life happens! However, at times -after it happens- it leaves us bewildered, with blurred vision. Life has a way of readjusting our focus. And oftentimes, that readjustment and realignment occurs through unfortunate events. It is my prayer that we do not lose our identity and purpose when life hits hard. I hope that through your ups and downs, God would provide “Clarity In Unfortunate Events”.

Have you ever heard the phrase open heaven and pictured pearly gates above? But what if heaven isn’t only a future promise—what if it’s an experience you can have now? An open heaven is moving from knowing about God to living in the reality of His presence. Have you ever been left speechless by His love, favor, or goodness? This devotional is designed to help you live under an open heaven—here and now. And it’s no coincidence you’re here. You’re ready to walk bolder, deeper, and stronger in your faith.

Does suffering ever cause you to wonder if God is punishing you? Through study of God's word, reflection and prayer, let this 4-day plan help you draw closer to God in difficult times.
