Download or read book Sheltering Mercy written by Ryan Whitaker Smith and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheltering Mercy helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms--through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns--as a guide to personal devotion and meditation. The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. While each prayer corresponds to a particular psalm and touches on its themes and ideas, it is not a new translation of the Psalms or an attempt to modernize or contextualize their content or language. Rather, the prayers are responses to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life. This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and beautiful hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.

Download or read book Abide Devotional written by Clay Meadows and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our culture today, Christians all around America are finding it hard to battle the spiritual warfare that is all around us. We find ourselves busy, tired, frustrated, and to the point of burning out. Our tendency as humans is to fight our battles with our own strength. Like King Saul, we don't wait on the Lord. We rush into battle before God arrives, because we believe our gifts and talents are enough. This has become a common reaction in life until we are confronted with a storm so great that it reminds us of our need and dependence on Christ to intervene on our behalf. The purpose of Abide: Forty Days to Abounding Freedom in Christ is to remind us that we are to remain in Christ at all times. Jesus clearly told us in John 15 that He is the vine and we are the branches. The branches by themselves will not produce fruit. Only when we are connected to the vine will we be able to endure life's most difficult challenges. Even when we engage in the most mundane things in life, it is important that we learn abide and lean on Christ. Like Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, we must remain in Him so that His Spirit will exude from us and produce the good fruit. Abide is a forty-day devotional that teaches what it means to remain in Christ by highlighting eight different areas of practice. These areas include abiding in Christ, the Word, prayer, fire, suffering, hope, rest, and love.
