Psalm 44:21

This reading plan features excerpts from Sheila Walsh's book In the Middle of the Mess, which is designed to help women find peace and strength in God as they struggle with hardships in life. She uses her personal stories and experiences to explain that women should not feel shame or fear as they learn to face God in their authenticity.

Jacqueline Bussie brings to light unspoken “laws” that govern the Christian life: #1: Never get angry at God; #2: Never doubt; #3: Never question; #4: Never tell your real story; #5: Always speak in clichés about suffering; and #6: Always believe hope comes easy for those who truly love God. Each day of this devotional begins to unpack a "faith-law" and counters it with healthy, life-giving, authentic, biblically-based truth.

For centuries, the Psalms formed the basis of Jewish and Christian worship. They tell the story of God’s activity in creation and the hope we have in God’s promises. This Bible Plan gathers Prof. N.T. Wright’s insights on key psalms, which give shape to the Psalter and serve as key resources of prayer.

Do you want to experience God's presence in your daily life? Through a lifetime of walking with the Lord, David learned how to “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” This plan will encourage you towards a rhythm of life modeled in the Psalms, through which you can abide each day in the stillness of God’s presence.
