Soul Prosperity

We all go through tough times. We all struggle and even suffer, even as Christians. The real problem comes when we allow the negativity of these events get into our head and produce in us a Victim Mentality. The good news is that with the help of God’s Word, you can overcome!

Hope For The Hopeless

Mental illness can make us feel extremely alone, like we’re the only ones with it, feeling like no one understands. Then shame loads on, self worth cripples, hope dissolves, and vision is blurred. Then we hit rock bottom. But let me tell you my friend, you are NEVER alone. You will never be alone as our God is omnipresent, available, listening, watching over you, and walking beside you. -Elle Limebear

What's in Your Head? From Elle Limebear

“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

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. No matter what is happening, we can choose the mindsets that move us from despair to hope and take the actions that shift us from surviving to thriving.

Affirming Truths About You

SELF HARM: A one-week reading plan about self-harm and how Jesus believes we’re worthy of love and help no matter what.  

Trending: Self Harm

Many people feel the weight of overwhelming sadness, uncertainty, fear, anxiety and depression. It’s almost become the norm. When Jesus promised his followers a rich and satisfying life, surely this couldn’t be what he intended. While this plan doesn’t offer any solutions or quick fixes, it does offer reminders of hope and truth to help you in this difficult time.

State Of Mind 

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. You were not created to be an anxious woman whose life is being frittered away at the altar of busyness. You are a woman of significance, created for joy, peace, and eternal impact!

A Woman Of Significance: Overcoming Stress 

Ever felt like your work doesn’t matter? Ever felt like your job is less important or eternally significant than the work of a pastor or “full-time missionary”? These feelings are normal in the Church today. But the good news is, they are totally unbiblical. As this four day plan will show, not only does your work matter, but it is one of the primary ways God has called you to glorify Him and love and serve your neighbors.

Does My Work Matter?

Depression. Anxiety. Triggers and traumatic events take a mental, emotional, and spiritual toll on us. During these times seeking God seems difficult and redundant. The plan, "Seek God Through It" aims to encourage and teach you how to be proactive in the presence of God so you may experience the peace of God, no matter your situation.

Seek God Through It

Anxiety is a normal response to the uncertainties we face in life. But what we do with our anxiety—and how long we allow it to live within us—is the key. Join Dr. Charles Stanley as he defines this destructive emotion, shows you how to gain the upper hand, and helps you find God’s solution for anxiety once and for all, leading you to enjoy a victorious, faith-filled life.

What To Do When You Don't Love Your Job

The topic of Sorrow is complex, real, and not pleasant. The Lord knows when we feel sorrow, and He promises us that He is walking through it with us, He is compassionate, loving, and He even turns it into joy and dancing! Let’s all embrace sorrow this week, with trust and faith in the Lord.

Boundaries For Your Soul

In our busy lives, suffering is considered an unwelcome guest. But could suffering really be a blessing from God? Because Christ suffered, we should also expect to suffer as we live for him. God will sustain us in our suffering and will use our suffering as a means to help us grow into the Christian he needs us to be in order to impact his world.

Growing Through Suffering

Depression is at an all-time high nowadays, and we must do something about it. We need to know there is something more than a pill out of a bottle that can fix it. There is a fuel that God has made available to us that can destroy depression—a fuel that will punch holes in the darkness of depression. I like to call it “the fuel that destroys depression.”

The Fuel That Destroys Depression

I'm Optimistic

Shame, guilt and regret have no place in the body of Christ. We serve a God that will use all that we are for His glory. No matter what we’ve done or how “bad” we think we have been, He can always use it for His glory. We are RARE! 

RARE: Exchanging Shame For Grace

Is there grace to be found in the spaces where Jesus doesn’t come through for us like we thought He would?

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.

Suicide, Sin, and Salvation: Is Suicide Unpardonable?

This plan will help you understand how each process we go through is not in vain but helps us to grow up and, consequently, help others to get out and be restored.

In this seven day plan, discover how your joy can be restored, even in difficult situations, by learning to fight for radiance.

Sometimes, no matter which direction we look, it all just seems like too much. Pressures push in on us from every side. Though it’s hard to see, our God is with us even then.

Mandisa - Out Of The Dark Devotional

This study will look at God’s original design for community, how he meets us in our loneliness, and how he brings us out of it.


Created For Community

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.

The Mind - Mental And Emotional Health

Singing Through the Storm

We all struggle with stress from time to time. Whether is is caused by work, parenting, or busy seasons, we must learn to avoid the extremes and to rethink the way we respond to it.

Stress

Fear has a way of changing our focus from God to the problems around us. Fear can change our confession from God’s promise to what we are feeling. All throughout the Scripture we are  commanded: “Do not fear.” The reason for not fearing is that we are not alone. God is with us; that’s the promise God gives us to combat fear. 

How to Overcome Fear

Sometimes we are waiting on God to answer our prayer before we feel like we can trust He’s even listening.  But rest assured, God is listening.  He is not standing far off somewhere waiting for you,  but He is walking with you right in the middle of your brokenness and mess.  He wants to meet you in your Not Yet moments.

Overcomer

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.

Depression

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?

We all desire to experience “better things” in this life, but in our desperate pursuit to obtain them we often overlook what we've already been given. Throughout this study, we will discover four things we lost during The Fall in Genesis but received again through Jesus. We will see how they truly are the “better things” that we have been searching for.

Better Things

"Shame". It's a powerful emotion that cripples many everyday and just hearing the word, can make you want to curl up into a tight ball, and hide.

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.
