Pause: A Month of Joy in Five Minutes a DaySample

Proclaim

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” (Phil. 4:4-5)

Prompt

As you journey through discipleship, it’s imperative to maintain your spiritual connection. Everything relies on Jesus because Jesus is the Author of our Joy.

That’s why a daily devotional like this is so important. Making a concerted effort to seek God each day will naturally grow your understanding of Him while also driving your faith levels up and up and up.

As you carve out daily time like this, time to consciously connect with God through prayer, meditation, and daily devotionals, He will reveal His truths to you. And then you’ll gain momentum as you see how God’s sovereign hand has guided and protected you, even in the depths of your addiction.

Jesus has ALWAYS been there, even when you couldn’t feel or see Him. He’s been running after you since the day you were born.
