Psalm 38:18

A 5-day devotional by John Van Sloten. Sharpen your senses to consider how creation reveals our Creator.

After being stuck in a pit of depression for several years, Mandisa is back with new music and an even deeper relationship with Christ. This devotional plan, written by Mandisa herself, walks readers through select tracks from her album 'Out Of The Dark,' which is exactly where God brought her out of. If you are battling depression, sadness, despair, or hopelessness, remember that Jesus is the one who lifts us up from the mud and the mire and brings us into His glorious Light!

Are you giving your anxieties to Jesus, or are you just trying to stuff them down? Where is the place of unbelief in your life? Where is the hope in your life? Are you just taking the negativity from the news intravenously? On this plan, we’re going to explore the anchors that are available to us when we have to go through anxiety. 

Only two letters separate the words victor and victim, yet vastly different outcomes result from living through one or the other. With one you will conquer, the other will conquer you. My hope with this plan is that you will introspect and look into the Word of God to validate your pain, bring it to light, and try to seek healing from living under the bondage of victim mentality.
