Thriving In The Thorns: Restoring Hope & Faith For Women

God is with you! He has an abundant plan for your life. Even if the present circumstances are difficult, overwhelming or unhopeful, we are never without hope. This journal and devotional have the mission of hope restoration, and strengthening the foundation of faith. Through reflective questions and inductive Bible studying, I pray that new habits are formed. My desire is that God manifests into your life each and every moment of the day. God has good plans, but the trouble and weight of life can make this hard to believe. Finding God’s lens of “good” requires surrender of your blueprint, connectedness with Him, and new prescriptive glasses. A super strength is gifted through this process, and it allows for you to experience the difficulties of life in a new way. This 40-day journal is a journey with God, and through the Bible. Your thrive amongst the thorns of life will cultivate endurance, anchored hope, and unconditional joy. Life is messy! Every day high and low experiences either draw you near God, or away from Him. Overwhelming busy seasons, when the calendar is jammed pack, tend to sail you further from a relationship with Christ. How do you combat this? Is it possible to grow closer to God, when He feels distant? When it seems as if Jesus missed rescuing you from deep pits, and no help was in sight, have your faith flames died out? Regardless of good or bad times, whether you have spent a lifetime with Jesus, or if you’re meeting Him for the first time, the answer for our thrive is our anchored hope. Even when life is sailing well, do you ever get exhausted in the self-made navigation plan? Have you ever experienced overwhelming anxiety trying to ward away storms, and stay afloat within those that got past your limited shield? Our ability to keep it all together is not reliable, but God is. God empowers us to withstand the storms, and to thrive in spite of them. You, in Christ, are a part of the contingency plan (1 John 4:4), that elicits power from a greater and everlasting Provider. In this journal you will take a 40-day journey, with Jesus, through the wilderness of life, in pursuit of knowing Him better. This journal is used as an additional resource to the Source, which is God and the Bible. The goal is to spur on a running head start to a new, transformative and flourishing relationship with Jesus. Even if your circumstances remain the same, what germinates is newfound peace, joy and stability in spite of the thorns.
