Psalms 120:2

Life with no change for the better stagnates and pollutes itself. It leaves a person with a sense of hopelessness, despair, and frustration. The best hope for any soul is to recognize this despair and frustration within and seek divine help to turn around and transform one's life.

After a decade of alcoholism and now 15 years of sobriety, John Elmore knows what it's like to hit rock bottom and to be thrown a lifeline. In "Freedom Starts Today," you will find your lifeline. Grounded in Scripture and the practice of daily surrender, you’ll break the cycle of sin, struggle, and addiction and find your identity in the promises of Jesus—one day at a time.

Psalms 120 through 134 are known as the songs of ascent, an ancient mixtape for God’s people journeying to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. Solomon built the temple there, and the glory of God filled that place. In this plan, John Greco explores six of the songs of ascent, providing application for our modern-day journey as image-bearers of God. Scripture quotations used within the plan are taken from the NIV.

This plan relies on a pattern of prayer Trevin Wax developed in 2019. Here you will find all the Psalms arranged in three-times-a-day readings for thirty days. This will include a time in the morning, midday, and evening. Every prayer time begins with a call to prayer and includes the Gloria, the Lord’s Prayer, and closes with a biblical blessing.
