Isaiah 8:12-14

These writings come from a fellow struggler seeking to live life well with God’s wise direction. We pray you will be inspired, instructed and encouraged to grow deeper in your faith by applying God’s Word, and we pray for you to draw closer in your love for the Lord and others as you read this plan.

Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting. Join Melissa Spoelstra for this 5-day study and discover that Isaiah’s words reveal you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you'll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.

Fear is a venom and toxic to your body. Faith is the antivenom to fear. Just as light crushes darkness, so faith dispels fear. According to Romans, you’ve been given faith, “God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” If you want to walk in your God-given destiny, you must cultivate it. Put your faith to work and watch it grow while your fears and anxieties dissipate.

This devotional will guide and direct you during 21 days of prayer and fasting. To be empowered we need to spend time in the secret place with God. We need to dwell there and not be a visitor. Consistency in the secret place will enable us to receive power from our God on High. Whether you seek a fresh start or desire to deepen your faith, this devotional will guide you into greater intimacy with God.
