WEEK ONE: Emotional Healing
Still Waters
We want to shift from anxiety to peace, despair to encouragement, worry to trust, shame to freedom, loneliness to love, and confusion to clarity through Jesus. The shalom of God is found in His presence.
Seek first the Blesser and the blessings will be added. Step out of the patterns of the world and into the way of Jesus. God’s thoughts are higher than ours, and He calms the storms that rage inside of us.
Remember to read Psalm 23 and watch the video each day with the devotion.

WEEK 1 – STILL WATERS
DAY ONE
A delay doesn’t necessarily mean a denial. Hannah cried out to God and poured out her soul in prayer year after year. Her deep longing was to have a child, but she was barren. There were waves of disappointment, but she continued to seek God. Her husband didn’t fully understand, her rival was mean, and the priest had false assumptions. No one brought relief. God was her refuge, strength, and an ever-present help in trouble.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower.
God listened to Hannah and provided a son named Samuel. Hannah dedicated her child to the Lord. Jesus tells us to pray and not give up. Keep asking, seeking, and knocking. Pain can fuel our prayers. Trusting God brings healing. We have hope because God is strong and loving.
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
God’s provision is connected to persistent prayer.
