What has fear stolen from you or your loved one? Fear is a dream killer, and if left unchecked, it will keep you from walking in your destiny. The Good News is … God, in His word, reveals everything we need to know to totally eradicate fear from our lives. God’s word is like medicine to the soul: apply it liberally, daily until you walk in complete freedom of fear. 

Fear Not! A Journey From Fear To Freedom

God commands us to forgive when someone has hurt us, and we’ve all had major things to forgive in our lives. But what if we got so good at forgiveness that we could quickly and easily forgive those small, irritating annoyances that happen to us every day? Let these 7 lessons show you how forgiveness can lead you into a more peaceful, powerful and influential way of life.  

A Lifestyle of Forgiveness

"Why do I still struggle if I'm faithfully following God?"   We all face challenges. On any given day, the problems of real life can take our breaths away. Our marriages, finances, relationships, and health are regular struggles, and that's just the beginning. Doesn't the Bible say the war has already been won? So why do we still battle?  With humor and honesty, Havilah Cunnington lays out practical tools to thrive in the face of hardship, enabling us to walk forward in the confidence that, because of Jesus, we really are stronger than the struggle.

Becoming a Battle Ready Father

You don’t need news and social media to tell you what you know in your heart: The world is not as it’s meant to be!

Living In God's Rest

Balance. It's what we long for in our lives as we hear shouts of "work harder!" in one ear, and whispers to "rest more" in the other. What if God's plan for us isn't just one way or the other? Enter holy hustle—a lifestyle of working hard and resting well in ways that honor God.

“Mooring” a nautical term, refers to an anchor to which a ship is secured to prevent it from being carried away by the waves. Mooring serves as a primer for our soul’s contemplation. As you ponder over these reflections, may God reveal His eternal truths and perspective to you so that Christ remains as the anchor in your life.

Moorings – Anchor for the Soul

Scriptures say that God’s values are different from the world’s. This is evident in the area of wealth and possessions. God whispers, “I am enough. Do not seek joy or security in anything else. You’ll be more fulfilled owning less.”

See Beyond Your Struggles

Do you just need a really good rest? When it comes to the subject of  rest , it seems that we may have been missing the point. Life is frantic, but it’s not God who is encouraging us to get busy.

This devotional plan teaches that rest is ESSENTIAL to your success in life, and that learning to rest can protect, maintain and lengthen whatever God has called you to do!

Guidance From God // Full Throttle Into New Life

Does life seem exhausting? Do you need to reboot, either physically or spiritually? We've all experienced exhaustion in this crazy busy world, but how often do we refuse to rest because we think it's unimportant or even considered being lazy? God prioritized rest after He created the world, and Jesus promises to give you rest when you come to Him. Jesus invites you to rest now.
