A 3-day devotional by Danielle Apicella journeying through the importance of trusting in God’s plan for your life. She discusses the fight against anxiety and fear, and choosing to walk forward in your purpose.  

The Shadow of Your Wings

Fear has a couple of ugly first cousins that cause a lot of trouble; they are anxiety and worry. All three are toxic and must be dealt with. The Good News is … God, in His word, reveals everything we need to know to totally eradicate them from our lives. God’s word is like medicine to the soul and spirit: apply it daily until you are anxiety free.

Anxiety Not!

Tired of your job? Thinking about moving on or starting your own thing? You’re not alone—85% of people around the globe are dissatisfied with their jobs. In this four day plan, we will explore why, and look to Scripture for four ways Christians should respond when they find themselves feeling stuck in a job they don't love.

What To Do When You Don't Love Your Job

Feeling “thrown off” by life’s interruptions? If you are wishing things were different, regretting your choices and circumstances, and wondering if God even cares, you’re not alone. In this 5-day study based on the book Thrown off Script, the principles that make improv work on stage are tied with truths from the Bible so you can learn to recognize interruptions as opportunities to grow closer to God and others.

Thrown off Script

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

So many of us are living frustrated, anxious, and overwhelmed. But we don't have to stay this way. New habits can be formed. Fresh hope can be found. Joy is truly right around the corner. But how do we get there? The spiritual practice of gratitude is often the missing key to unlock the hope, joy, and beauty around us.  

Choosing Gratitude

Do you ever feel overworked and underutilized? Do you struggle to stay connected during the week? It’s so easy to get stuck in the routines of this broken world and to tell ourselves we're "fine". But there’s another way—the way of our King, Jesus. Start this five-day plan; break out of the old routines; and invite God to begin something new in you.

More Than "Just Fine" // Let's Do Something New

We live in a very stressful world. There’s a lot to be anxious and worried about –  a lot be afraid of. But God does not want you to live in anxiety or fear. One of the main themes of the Bible is to “fear not.” Jesus came to deliver us from fear and give us His peace. Here are some practical ways to say no to anxiety and fear.

Say No to Anxiety and Fear

Have you reached a point of emotional brokenness and hidden pain? Are you crying for the Lord to heal you and give you some light of hope? I pray these guided biblical meditations will help you return to sanity by accepting that Christ absorbs your agony and your judgment. He has taken on the full weight of your self-condemnation. He cries your tears, takes your grieving, and brings you peace.

My Life Is Unmanageable

We were not created to live in fear. God wants us to live with boldness, confidence, peace, and impact, and He's given us tools in Scripture to help us anchor ourselves deeper into faith-bolstering truth. 

Faith Over Fear

Fear is NOT your friend.  Fear invites all types of EVIL into your life.  Ask Job (Job 3:25). It’s NOT your Father’s plan for you. Meditating or thinking about the truths in God’s word will dislodge and dissolve fear-filled thoughts -replacing them with new thoughts and reality of FREEDOM, SAFETY, and SECURITY.  Nope – we’re not making this up. That’s what your Lord Jesus says in John 15:7.

Out of the Cave 

Anxiety and worry are rampant throughout our culture.

How To Trust Instead Of Worry

Words From the Window Seat

Radically Rediscovering Rest

Does God have an answer for anxiety? Do we have to be medicated to cope, or is there a biblical solution for the anxieties of the soul? The God of the Bible cares for hurting people. This is seen in both the Old Testament and in the New. In the person of Jesus, mankind meets the God of all mercy face to face. 

Answering Anxiety

Created as a companion piece to his 2020 album "Still," this is an intimate 8-day series from Grammy-nominated and award-winning singer-songwriter Brian Courtney Wilson. He shares personal stories and insight into how God is STILL full of great grace, new mercy, and faithfully moving us forward.

The journey to confidence is a road that many of us find ourselves on. Society tells us to “love ourselves”, but what does that actually mean?

You Can Trust God By Nina Smit

What do you do when the battle you are facing is too big for you?

We all face battles today ranging from depression to anxiety to unemployment to loss to illness and to so many others. When facing a battle, it’s so easy to become discouraged and defeated before it’s even begun. What would happen if we admit we cannot fight our battles on our own?

When the Battle Feels Too Big

Are you worried? Anxious? Afraid? Of losing your living, or a loved one, or even your life? In light of the far-reaching ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic, that’s understandable.

But, what does God have to say and how can that help us cope with this obnoxious emotion? When it FEELS like you're facing a bear with a flamethrower, here are some practical tools to help you manage.

Facing Anxiety

Spiritual First Aid: Spiritual and Emotional Care in Crisis

When we place our focus on the “what-if’s” and “how’s”, our lives become consumed with worry. The Bible tells us that we don’t have to live exhausted and defeated by the concerns of this world.  This plan will help us identify the root of our worry and will help direct us away from worry and move towards a life of peace and faith in Christ.

Worry - Finding Peace 

Jesus was different than you think. A real person, with a heart for people, his message was radical in his day and ours. Though he had endless patience with people, he had none with injustice. Furious when the poor were taken advantage of, he defended women and welcomed children. Get the real story here—and a glimpse at what life was like with the real Jesus.

Worry for Nothing

What if…? That’s just one of the questions we ask ourselves as we face unknown tomorrows. Uncertainty about the future can cause us to live with anxiety. But what if we could pray our way through the questions? Instead of giving traction to fear, what if we learned to trust our faithful God? 

Pray Your Way Through Uncertainty

Break Through : Overcoming Fear And Anxiety

Anxiety surrounds our life and it seems like there are an infinite amount of sources just piling stress onto our lives. I wonder if God wants that for us? Let me tell you that He doesn't.

Overcoming Fear

Many of us live life feeling stuck, and we fall into a feeling of routine and sadness. Sometimes we never talk about it with anyone, and that consumes our lives. I want to encourage you to use this feeling of being stuck in your favor. You can grow and know more of what God has for your life. In this plan we will discover the root of the problem. 

Feeling Stuck?

The voices that fly around inside our minds can either create peace and balance or chaos and disruption.  Join us in our 6 day devotional to help equip you in finding internal peace amongst the noise of life.

Inside Voice

There is possibly no more carefully navigated response than to the question “How Ya Feeling?” We long for and loath this question because we must either remain at the surface or expose what lies beneath. Jesus reminds us that to feel is to be human; to feel is to walk through valleys and mountains; to feel is to imitate Christ. Learn to properly engage your emotions to be like Christ.

How Ya Feeling?

We all have fears and worries. But if we let them consume us and control us, they can keep us from fully being who God has made us to be. If you have worry, anxiety, or fear that you need to overcome, then this Bible Plan is for you.

Change creates chaos. If you're anything like me, you'd prefer control over chaos. In the digital age we live in, our pace is often faster than our capacity.

Let’s learn together how to find God in the change.

Structured with a Scripture to open, a devotional to ponder, and a prayer to close, this plan guides readers to reflect on everyday concerns from a biblical and hopeful perspective.

Find Peace in an Anxious World

Our world is at war.  It may not be a world war – but it’s a world at war. There may not be armed conflict in the streets, but many individuals, homes and communities in our own land are ‘war torn’ and broken.  Many don’t know peace with God or with those around them.  Many of us feel anything but peace in our circumstances.  It’s into this reality that God speaks.

Peace

Start your journey toward true freedom now.

The Habit Breaker – Ems Hancock

As much as we hate to admit it, we love to be busy. But is our busyness drawing us closer to what matters most? Or is it just a distraction from God’s calling for our lives? In this 4-day Bible Plan, we’ll explore questions to ask yourself about busyness, so you can reclaim what matters most in your life.

Busyness is a Distraction

Our God has always been in the business of breakthrough. But what exactly does that imply? What do we mean when we say “breakthrough?” Breakthrough has historically been used as a militaristic term: advancing beyond an enemy’s front line of defense. It also denotes the achievement of surpassing a significant obstacle or making a discovery that leads to a new understanding. The Lord is always fighting for us. 

Breakthrough by Red Rocks Worship

In our busy and performance-based culture today, worry and anxiety are felt by the majority of people to some varying degree. This often leads to extreme weariness and pressure. In Scripture, God provides freedom and peace. This study will help in guiding you to the many scriptures that walk through His truth when dealing with anxiety.

Dealing With Anxiety

In uncertain times, anxiety, fear, and worry often take over. Our thoughts run wild with “what ifs.” But this is not where God wants us to live! This six-week devotional will refocus your attention on Scripture and remind you of God’s promises of peace, rest, and assurance when you trust Him for what you cannot see. 

Peace in Uncertain Times

Times are tough. Anxiety can grow inside us like a contagion as we battle external stress and internal doubt. Jesus knew that the better we know our Father, the less reason we’ll have to be anxious. In Matthew 6, Jesus draws us back to our Father, the One who sees us, knows our needs, and provides hope.

As Sarah Robinson has discovered in her own struggles, you don’t need to do everything right or believe all the Christian clichés to have a peace-filled life in the midst of mental illness. No matter how you feel in this moment, God hasn’t abandoned you. There is light ahead & you’re going to make it there. 

I Love Jesus, but I Want to Die: A 5-Day Plan to Give You Hope in the Darkness of Depression 

Anxiety may be the fear over your shoulder, the worry by your side, or the dread hanging over your life. For many, it's a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. Over the course of seven days, we will set our gaze on someone bigger and more powerful - Jesus, our giant slayer.


Putting an 'X' Through Anxiety

Most of us are worried about something. And many of us are more worried now than we’ve ever been. But worry has been around as long as there have been people. Two thousand years ago, there was so much worry that Jesus addressed it, and He gave us the definitive solution. In this 6–day plan, Andy Stanley looks at what the Bible has to teach us about worry.

Why Worry

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He came to serve, not to be served. As His followers, we know we've been called to do the same. In a culture that is plagued with consumerism, we believe that when we give our life away, we actually find life. Read more to hear more about what the Bible says about serving.

NEXT STEPS: Serve

Intentionally or unbeknownst to us, we all have a philosophy towards life. These may be shaped, altered, or created based on culture, childhood, past, people...and a variety of reasons. The world offers many such principles whose goal is to reach the fullness of life. The Bible implores its believers unto Spirituality. To be led by The Spirit - The Truth that guides.
