Making Sense of Pain and Struggle: Finding the Strength to Go on (A Devotional Daybook)

Finding the strength to overcome pain and adversity is a major there of Scripture, particularly form the pen of the Apostle John, and is a reality that even Christians must face. Disappointment, sickness, financial difficulties, broken relationships perhaps you feel you've already faced enough problems for an entire lifetime. No one escapes the trials of life and the temptation to give up.

Drawing upon a multitude of biblical examples as well as present-day people, Neva Coyle encourages believers to understand that no matter how tough their circumstances, God has destined them to be overcomers. Overcoming does not always mean getting rid of the problem, but it does mean the problem will neither run your life nor ruin it. In a personalized devotional study format, six of the most important strategies you need to overcome the obstacles in your life will be explored and applied to practical, everyday life.

Designed to fit easily into a busy schedule, day by day this study will help you learn spiritual principles to find the strength you need to go on and more than that, to overcome!
