Overview

About the Book
In light of the daily struggles brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic;

What do I do now?
How am I supposed to go on?
How can I keep my family housed and fed without a job?

These are real issues that are gripping every family in this Nation and are causing people to have little hope and most likely zero faith. Those who do have faith, are having it diminished without a clear end to the madness that is surrounding them at every turn.
What are the answers and where do we find them?

In life, trials and tests can hit, seemingly, out of nowhere. This devotional tackles how to scripturally handle all difficulties in life. Through the relationship with Jesus Christ, navigate through the wilderness and learn how to be a compass for others along the way. As the sun, rises over the land. Allow the Son, Jesus Christ, to rise up in your heart. Born from the ashes of the world wide disaster that has been unleashed upon us; the COVID-19 Pandemic.
There has been a significant rise in:
Crime
Suicide
Hatred
Division

This devotional is a tool for the reader to learn from and be able to find and strengthen our faith, witness to others and begin a discipleship to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our communities.
In order to find the answers to life's largest struggles, we have to examine the Scriptures and Theology that God has given us as our "owner's manual".

Description
During the three year Ministry of Jesus Christ, He focused on simplicity. He is the King of Kings, yet, when the people went to Him for teaching, He kept everything, Simple! That is the approach that this book takes. From the Cover to the Interior, Simplicity is the focus. The message is more important than anything else that would take the focus away from the reader.

Cover
The picture reminds us to always keep our eyes on the Lord in all we do.
The color black represents the darkness a person feels while being in the disparity of life.
The color purple is the first color of the rainbow: God's promise. The color purple represents the devotion a person has to the Word of God; it also gives the reader the independence from the worldly pain and brings them closer to being in the presence of God.

Interior
Each day is set up into five sections:
Verse with Commentary
Notes
Application
Reflection Journal
Review
At the end of every week there will be a Weekly Review. At the end of the book is a Monthly Review.

Verse with Commentary
Begin each day with a verse and an inspirational Commentary explaining the verse and how to apply it to current times.

Notes
During the course of your study take any type of notes needed from other verses that are related to events throughout your day. Express anything you want to in order to help yourself grow personally, emotionally and spiritually.

Application
This page allows you to answer specific questions that will help in applying each lesson to your life and to help in teaching the reader the importance of living a Christ-like life outwardly.

Reflection Journal
This section gives the reader the ability to reflect on their day and to allow them to process the events of their day and to see if they have properly applied the lesson and how they can do better.

Review
For this area there are three different reviews to accomplish:
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
This is the section that the reader will learn if they were able to apply the message to their lives and the lives of others through discipleship / witnessing.

Goal
The ultimate goal of this Devotional is to teach how everyone can apply the Word of God into their lives and the lives of others that are in need of help with finding and building faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. None of us are in this struggle called life alone. We must all learn what God wants from our lives, learn how to apply it and learn how to open up the communications with other to teach them that they are not alone either. As long as we keep our eyes on God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. God Bless all!
