SALMOS 86:6-7

As Christians, we have the power of Jesus Christ living inside us, but so often, we surrender that strength to the one who opposes us. There is a battle happening all around us, but we’re not helpless. We can choose to use our God-given authority to fight for ourselves and for our loved ones. This plan will introduce you to your spiritual weapons and get you ready for battle!

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.
