Get the appNames of God: Through Thanksgiving & ChristmasSample
James urges believers to remain steadfast in their trust in the Lord despite the suffering they are enduring. James encourages them to seek the Lord for wisdom, specifically during trials, never doubting that the Lord will supply their needs.
When believers trust God’s love, God’s timing, and God’s plan for them, they can wait patiently for Him to do mighty works in their lives. Many times anxiety and doubt can lead believers to try to get ahead of God. Christians can find themselves out of the will of God, struggling to keep something that they were not destined by God to have at that particular time. A Christian’s focus must be on God’s love for her. By resting in that love, a Christian has the security of knowing that God has her exactly where she needs to be for her own good and for His purpose.
Are you struggling with anxiety or doubt because of a circumstance in which God has placed you? The solution is meditating on God’s love for you so that you can rest assured that God has only good plans for your life and that all things will work out for the good.
Father God, I thank You for wisdom. Lord, help me to remain steadfast in You even when I’m in the midst of trials. Help me to focus on You when my faith is wavering. Help me to remember that You give generously and liberally to all whom You love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

About this Plan
What’s in a name? The many beautiful names of God reveal something about who he is and why he functions the way he does. Names of God – specifically written to help us focus on our Lord during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons – walks us through the study of six of the names God has given himself. Time is spent looking at the truths these names reveal about God, and how this knowledge should practically impact our everyday decisions, emotions, and relationships. “For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?” ~ J.I. Packer. Come join us as we get to know God more fully and spend time adoring him for who he is. God shows himself to us through his names because of his great love for us. We, in turn, have the privilege of loving, worshipping and resting in Him on an even deeper level during this reflective time of year. Journal with us as we go through this study for the next six weeks…reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts.
