Peace

Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve. This devotion is designed to look at real-life stories illustrating how God uses suffering to teach, guide and mold us to be more like Jesus. By God’s grace, we can glorify God as we embrace suffering in our lives, knowing that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us.

Worry

There's no shame in being sad. The life we've been given was never promised to be free of pain or sorrow. It is critical however that during the times we are hurting most, we run to God and his Word for peace and comfort.

"Be still, and know that I am God;" (PSALM 46:10a). Many Christians are familiar with this verse, but do we really understand it? This exhortation applies when we are distracted by our successes, as when we are fearful and disquieted by some troublesome news. We must learn to quiet ourselves by opening God’s Word and gaining His perspective in both cases.

Flip the Switch: Finding God's Peace

“May God make his face shine on you” is not sentimental cliché. It’s a powerful statement of the intimate relationship God wants people to experience in his presence.

Casey Tygrett challenges us to examine our memories—good and bad—and recognize the ways God is using those memories to bring about spiritual transformation in our lives.
