Holding onto shame can truly hinder you from enjoying the blessings and joys that come each day. So let's dig deep into ways you can live a shame-free life, and discover how God can easily shift your thoughts and emotions.

Stress has a way of piling up in a woman’s life until she is unable to make quality decisions, enter into meaningful conversation, or enjoy what she has been given.

Affirming Truths About You

We think that our thoughts can be kept in secret in our mind, but they cannot. The Bible makes this concept of the power of our thoughts simple: as a person thinks on the inside, this is who they will become on the outside. Thoughts produce a result. Our thoughts can make us ill or help us to heal. Jesus shows us how to become free from these things.

Depressed To Deep Rest In God 

“In the presence of the Lord is the fullness of joy.” Then why aren’t we joyful all the time? It’s because we still have this flesh and if we allow it, it can keep us in this emotional rollercoaster. This reading plan aims to help you get off this emotional ride by learning to walk and abide in Christ so you can live in the fullness of joy.

Peace - Get off the Emotional Rollercoaster

How do you respond to suffering? By suffocating or surviving?  The theme for these guided biblical meditations is suffering.

I pray these meditations will help you recover in the restorative gaze of God.

Suffering in Silence

Depression is terrible experience—it feels like you are dropping down a dark, bottomless hole … with no hope in sight. But one of the greatest promises we have in the Bible is that He will “never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5). And it’s through prayer that this promise is realized because prayer draws us close to Jesus Christ and ushers us into God’s very presence. So stay close to God in prayer always, knowing that He is aware of your heart’s deepest cry!

Grief

Bear Hunt: You Have to Go Through It

[Maximum Joy Series] Dealing With Darkness

This 7 day plan will provide biblical truths to help sustain you through the deep waters of depression. Depression doesn’t have to cause you to drift away or knock you off the path God has for you.

Anchored: Through Deep Waters

Depression. Anxiety. Triggers and traumatic events take a mental, emotional, and spiritual toll on us. During these times seeking God seems difficult and redundant.

You Aren't Alone

Emotions—love them or hate them—we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait. Can we do anything about emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy life for Jesus? These devotions will equip you with the Biblical perspectives and practical tools you need to thrive.

Why Art Thou Cast Down?

Do you ever look around at all the suffering in the world and wonder who’s actually in control? Do you ever wonder why God doesn’t intervene and stop it all? In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe looks to Scripture to explore answers to these questions about suffering.

Why Does God Allow Suffering? By Pete Briscoe

We have many battles yet to fight but we do not fight to achieve victory; we fight from the victory already achieved on the cross. There are certain enemies whom God delivers you from, but there are other enemies He empowers you to have dominion over. Deliverance is what God does in you; dominion is what He does through you.

Fight Back

What is God's will for our mental and emotional health? Does God have a remedy for depression, anxiety, stress or suicidal thoughts? The answer is yes. Christians and unbelievers alike deal with depression and other mental and emotional illnesses, but there is hope! Jesus promises and provides an abundant life—a life full of joy, purpose, and peace. Join in this seven day devotional as we focus on how to fight for mental and emotional health!


Fighting For Mental And Emotional Health

According to the Gallup Poll millions of people around the world have had near-death experiences where they clinically died but modern medicine resuscitated them. Those who glimpsed the afterlife knew there was a border or boundary they could not cross and still return, so their stories should never form our theological framework of eternity. They only got a small glimpse and only Scripture can give the bigger picture.  But these testimonies help us answer God’s command to imagine Heaven—to set our minds on the magnificent promises of eternity in a way that changes how we live today. May this devotional help bring more of the peace and joy of Heaven into your life each day this week.

Imagine Heaven Devotional

Escalating anxiety and depression have led far too many to die by suicide, leaving loved ones behind with more questions than answers—and these questions often cut to the core of their Christian beliefs. In this seven-day devotional, Dr. Jim Denison reveals what the Bible says about suicide and whether it is “the unpardonable sin.”

Suicide, Sin, and Salvation: Is Suicide Unpardonable?

Do you have the feeling that no one really gets you—even your friends? Do you long for close relationships, but haven’t been able to find them? Not only does God promise to be close to us, he also provides companionship—and through his church, he even gives us a family.  

Loneliness

In this four day plan, we will explore why, and look to Scripture for four ways Christians should respond when they find themselves feeling stuck in a job they don't love.

What To Do When You Don't Love Your Job

Have you ever felt alone and persecuted? Perhaps had a hidden secret exposed to the light of day? The theme for these guided meditations is disclosure.  To find freedom and the mercy of God through the companionship of others. To not live life alone, but celebrate the freedom found in Christ and seeing others as Christ sees you. Finding companionship by showing mercy to the least of those around us.

Feeling Alone

You (just like everyone else) have seen your failures and sins up close – and that can make it hard to forgive yourself. Maybe you knew better, but you goofed up anyway.

Let these 6 lessons show how you’ve already been forgiven in Christ, and give you the faith to forgive yourself and move forward.

Depression

In the midst of health concerns, economic uncertainty, and civil unrest, it's easy for our brains to succumb to fear and even despair. But as Christians, God calls us to be people of hope.
