Win Your War Against Fear

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering.

Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

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

This 5-day reading plan on God’s love and abundance will assure readers of God’s care, forgiveness and protection and will remind them to appreciate His daily blessings. Each day features a specific theme (such as forgiveness, work and hope) and a prayer and ends with a Scripture verse. The content for this reading plan is based on Nina Smit’s “The Abundance of God’s Love”.


The Abundance Of God’s Love By Nina Smit

No matter where we are in life, both our greatest joys and our deepest heartaches are linked to the people in our lives--family, friends, or coworkers. And each of us brings both beauty and brokenness into relationships. 


Past Present: Strengthening All Relationships

Every human being longs to be accepted. Every human being longs to live a life without filters, without having to check their worth. But unfortunately, not everyone has the joy of living as such. There are many who suffer in public; while others suffer in silence behind the loneliness that rejection or being discarded brings.  We can overcome rejection by acknowledging our worth in Christ.  Let's dive in.

Overcoming Rejection

In uncertain times, our go-to mindset is fear. It seems to soothe us when we continually let ourselves go down fear-filled, “what-if” roads. As followers of Jesus, we can battle this. We don’t have to let fear win. This Plan is filled with practical tips as you take steps to win the battle fear is waging.

How To Battle Fear

Have you ever listened but not heard or looked and not seen? I pray these biblical meditations will help you see with new eyes. To move from old eyes to new. To go from a tired life to finding fresh new faith. You will be more mindful of God’s precious gift of faith and the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God within you. An entirely new perspective!

Finding Fresh Faith

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Restless

When Jesus was tested in the wilderness, a significant part of the enemy’s challenge was to tempt Him to doubt God’s Word and question His own identity. A similar challenge confronts us.

In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe shines the light of Christ on your deepest worries and fears—encouraging you to depend completely on His Spirit.

Overcoming Worry by Pete Briscoe

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.

Roots and Fruits

This three-day plan is all about perseverance and studies some key characters in the Bible who set the example for us as believers. Perseverance is hard, but the reward is worth it!

Learning to Persevere 

Worry seems inevitable: as if we can't help it. Thankfully, the Bible talks about worry A LOT (because God knows us so well). This 30-day reading plan from the UCB Word For Today will help you lean into God's Word so that when worry and anxiety strike, you are armed with faith.

Where Is God When I Am Worried?

Being brave isn’t something you can do on your own. God creates boldness as you trust in him. The more you put aside your strength and lean on his, the more he can develop courage in you. Spend time with God and let him show you how to be brave.

5 Days To Be Brave

Anxiety in all its forms can be debilitating as it can throw us off balance and keep us bound in fear. This is not the end of the story though, for in Jesus, we find freedom and the grace to overcome the struggle. We don't just overcome it but we can be made better for it thanks to the word of God and the constant reassuring presence of God. 

Beating Anxiety at Its Own Game 

Anxiety and worry are rampant throughout our culture. This plan shows us that the end of worry and the beginning of trust are found in two foundational beliefs: believing God will provide for our needs and believing that we are valuable to God. Choose to trust Him today by seeking Him first and living in wisdom. 

How To Trust Instead Of Worry

Busyness is a Distraction

Global Pan(dem)ic & a Sound Faith (Part 1): A 5-Day Identity Check 

We all go through transitions in life - whether it is the loss of a job, a friendship, or an unexpected detour in life. Transition is an unavoidable part of life. Change will come, but God wants to help you stand firm in hope. In this 4-day Bible plan, Evangelist Matt Brown shares encouragements from the Bible that will help you in times of transition in your life.

Navigating Transition

"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. 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.

Getting Over Shame

Do you ever feel pressure from the world pushing against you, and you think you have nowhere to turn? Have you aimed to find a shelter that would overcome the force of the world? These guided audio meditations will help you remember that Jesus is that shelter. He has overpowered all that the world pushes against you but will help you show grace when the world keeps pushing.

When the World Pushes Back

Bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges helps those struggling with depression find liberating solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah.

Out of the Cave 

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a relationship that’s in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control. Life comes apart at the seams, and hope begins to evaporate. Bestselling author Frank Viola shows us how to weather the storms of life.

Hang On, Let Go

Anxiety and fear-related identity beliefs plague people today, with damaging emotional, physical, and behavioural outcomes. We are passionate to see change for future generations. Our vision is to equip us to become a healed up, strong, and courageous people of God. 
This devotional will enable God’s powerful word to help us overcome our fears so that we can step unhindered, into everything God has for us. 


Forty Days Without Fear

Did you know the Bible says we must glue ourselves to God? Love joins us to God. Love attaches itself and does not let go. The best of both divine and human love is “hesed” steadfast or enduring love. If we stay attached to God, we will live. If we come unglued, it will not be good. Here are ten ways we stay connected with God. Let’s do it!

Staying Connected With God

In Romans 12:2  Apostle Paul said that we are transformed by the renewing of the mind. Many of us think that once our life is transformed, then our mind will be renewed. It is the other way around. When we were born, most of us came out into this world, head first. When your mind is changed, your life will be transformed. Remember, where your mind goes, your life follows. 

7 Ways to Renew Your Mind

In times of trouble, God’s words have a special application to the challenging moments of our lives. His words alone give us the hope we need and overﬂow with his promises of real love, forgiveness, salvation, peace, hope, and joy. The passages in this plan describe these present and eternal blessings. They’re a reminder of the real love, tremendous assurance, and ultimate value all believers have through faith in Jesus.

Real Hope for Troubled Times

Where do you turn to find rest?  Do you find the most peaceful retreat in the creation or in the Creator?  These guided audio meditations are about turning.  Turning away from the false rest of world to find true rest in Jesus.  Turning away from complacency and choosing to do good.  And turning away from what is immoral and corrupt, and turning towards what is virtuous and upright.

Where Do You Turn?

Living a good life is not simple. The ease of doing so is challenged by mundane things such as—busyness, fatigue, lack of focus, forgetfulness. Pastor Mark T. Goodman advocates for appreciating the less-than-extraordinary aspects of life. The simple life includes extraordinary events and less-than-ordinary experiences; yet, ordinary things fill up most of our days. Mark invites you to give The Ordinary Way a try.

Pastors Are People Too

When we fool ourselves into thinking that God is after our money or needs our money, we miss the whole point. God is after our hearts, and many times in our day and age, we have trouble separating our money from our hearts. In fact, we've found many times it's one of the hardest things for people to be obedient in. We've also seen that many Christians carry around unnecessary anxiety and worry because they refuse to trust God with their finances. Take your life back by learning to be faithful with your money through this Bible plan!

NEXT STEPS: Give

You’ve got crazy circumstances? Maybe a few difficult people hanging around? More bills than cash flowing in each month? Are you facing an unprecedented crisis? How does one move beyond waiting it out on the couch in their yoga pants until the difficulty passes? Take your cues from the prophet, Habakkuk, who demonstrates, not only how to survive the present mix of trouble, suffering, and responsibility, but how to flourish.

Flourish in Your Present

This five-day reading plan helps us understand that in every season, and wherever we are on the spectrum of knowing the secondary “callings” of our lives, we are only responsible for our personal answer to God’s ultimate call. When this truth transforms our hearts, it becomes infused into our dreams and desires and helps shape, guide, and even unearth the gifts and talents God has given us.

Flourish in Your Calling: Exploring God's Ultimate Call

This 7 day devotional will help you learn God's character, your identity, and God's promises for you during conflict or tension in your life. The key to responding to others in a way that honors God is knowing Him and know who you are.
