Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Job 42:1

We know that God is a caring and loving God so why does He sometimes say “no” to our prayers or circumstances? Why is there confusing silence when it seems that the plans we have prayed are so in line with His will? In this 3-day plan, pray along with someone who has experienced that confusion and that pain. Pray for clarity, but also for understanding and perspective as God takes you through the difficult journey of knowing how to respond when God says “no.”

Our minds and schedules are so preoccupied that we’ve forgotten how to rest. And when we fail to rest we do more than burn ourselves out—we misunderstand the God who calls us to rest and created us to be people of rest. So when we learn the art of sabbath keeping, we learn to rest and we learn about the One who gives us rest.

God is a God of restoration; He can make everything new again by His presence. Whatever we think we may have lost—our dreams, our health, our relationships, our innocence, our economy, our peace—God is able to restore us many times over!

For a long time, my wife and I dealt with our infertility in private. Only when we began to speak publicly about our ordeal did we realize that infertility affects far more couples than we knew. You are surrounded by fellow Christians who know what you’re going through, and never separated from the God who is alongside you through every difficult day. He is with us. We are with you.

In our busy lives, suffering is considered an unwelcome guest. But could suffering really be a blessing from God? Because Christ suffered, we should also expect to suffer as we live for him. God will sustain us in our suffering and will use our suffering as a means to help us grow into the Christian he needs us to be in order to impact his world.

I used to think worry was an inevitable part of my days—and my sleepless nights. I wondered if God’s Word does not promise us that our worst fears will not come true, then how are we supposed to not fear? But as I journeyed through a great loss, God showed me his battle plan against fear. You don’t have to live in fear either. Walk with me this week on a road toward peace.
