Words for Every Season

When life becomes relentless and the waves keep coming, God is still with you. A devotional on surrendering your burdens, magnifying God, and finding peace in His presence.

He is Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, King of Glory, Lord Almighty. He has never lost a battle. Not one. And this same God has declared you are the head and not the tail. If you are feeling the pressure of life right now, this is for you.

I almost didn't do this. There were a hundred reasons not to. Who am I to write? Who am I to teach? Who am I to stand up and say I have something worth sharing? But then I remembered — that is exactly what the enemy wants me to believe. So here I am. And if you are reading this — this is for you.
