If you struggle with the ever-changing world and everything crumbling around you, this is your lifeline from God to keep you grounded and on the road to whole again. Be encouraged by this mental health discussion presented by Bishop T.D. Jakes and Dr. Natasha Stewart-Gresham.

Starting over can feel daunting, especially after a big failure or losing someone or something you love. What are you going to do about the very real obstacles that seem to make a new beginning seem impossible? This plan explores the four biggest obstacles to starting over and how Jesus equips us to overcome them with His power and strength.

Emotions—love them or hate them—we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait. Can we do anything about emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy life for Jesus? These devotions will equip you with the Biblical perspectives and practical tools you need to thrive.

Picking up where 2 Chronicles ends, Ezra describes the return of exiles to Jerusalem and the eventual rebuilding of the temple. Using the influence of pagan kings and unbelieving rulers, God was faithful to bring his people back to the land and reestablish worship at the temple.
