Winning the War on Worry has the potential to set readers on a new path and give them the tools they need to replace worry with a greater sense of trust in the Almighty. When we experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we could ever comprehend, He will guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus.
Jesus has given you all that you need for life and godliness. He has already won the war on worry, defeating death, hell, and the grave once and for all.
As you read this simple yet powerful book, you will begin to see more clearly how:
- Worry is a liar, but we can choose whether we want to listen to the Enemy or our Heavenly Father
- Fear fuels worry, which fuels our need for control, but God's perfect love drives out fear
- You can stand firm on the truth that Jesus both wants to and is able to carry what's worrying you
- We can replace anxious thoughts with thoughts that line up with the character and nature of God
Winning the War on Worry can set you on a new path and give you the tools you need to replace worry with a greater sense of trust in the Almighty. Through the practical journey laid out in this book, allow Louie Giglio to point you to the One who is greater, to the God who encourages His people: "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life" (Philippians 4:6–7 msg).
Wanneer die lewe se probleme swaar op jou skouers druk, is dit tyd om stil te staan en op Jesus te fokus. Onthou dat geen probleem wat vandag oor jou pad kom groter is as sy krag om jou te help nie.
Gedurende Jesus se tyd op aarde het Hy vir sy volgelinge verskeie lewensveranderende beloftes gegee en hulle geleer hoe om in pas met God se opdragte te leef. Hierdie 366 dagstukke kyk na hierdie woorde van Jesus en help jou nadink hoe jy Jesus se waarhede op jou daaglikse lewe kan toepas.
Hoe beter jy die liefdevolle Verlosser leer ken, hoe meer sal jy Hom liefhê en vrede vind in sy Teenwoordigheid. Verdiep jou in Jesus se woorde in hierdie dagboek sodat jy werklik kan hoor wat Hy vir jou wil sê.
Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital's top
neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take
a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium
Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with
a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in
the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with
only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu."
Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient's
death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a
brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep
irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the
case. But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a
destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could
have imagined. And if they're not careful, they're both going to
end up dead. Award-winning author James R. Hannibal whisks you away
to the deadly beauty of Hawaii for a story of greed, violence, and
justice that will leave you breathless.

Stepparenting can sometimes feel like an overwhelming and thankless

a birth parent's wishes. But here's the good news: With some expert
guidance and God's help, you can have tremendous influence in your
stepchild's life and grow in your faith along the way. Seasoned
stepmom Laurie Polich Short understands and empathizes with the
difficult job you face. Drawing on extensive research, biblical
teaching, and her own real-life experience (including an insightful
chapter cowritten with her stepson, Jordan), Laurie provides
practical and spiritual advice to help you fully embrace and
succeed in your role as stepparent. Whether you are about to become
a stepparent or are further along on your journey, this
compassionate and insightful resource offers the hope, help, and
encouragement you've been looking for.
