There is even space to check in on how you're really doing and include personal thoughts. Just the way to start your day right!

Do your days often feel unpredictable and chaotic? Do you wonder if what you're doing each day really matters in the big picture? Could you use some calm and peace in your life? In this 100-day devotional, you’ll experience inspiration and reassurance that God's mercy, delight, and provision are as sure as the sunrise—and ready to greet you each morning with hope and joy.

The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue. Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. Lamentations 3:22-23 GNT

Reading Sure as the Sunrise is like having coffee with your best friend each morning. With vulnerability and relatability, bestselling author Emily Ley shares her own stories and struggles, while also giving you permission to stop and check in with yourself—how are you doing, really? Every five days of devotions are separated with additional space for personal reflection and journaling. If you are the type of person who loves starting your day with a planner or Bible in hand, this is a wonderful tool to add God's delight to your days. Or, if you need help creating a morning routine to put more calm and joy in your day, this book can help you do it. This devotional is perfect for those:

  • Looking for a fresh start
  • Struggling through hard times and needing reminders that God has not forgotten you
  • Trying to transform your morning routine
  • Searching for God in the sacred, ordinary moments of life
  • Wanting to start your day with God
  • Seeking reminders of God's perfect consistency, faithfulness, and mercy when the world is uncertain and unpredictable

This inspirational devotional will make a wonderful gift for fans of Emily and her Simplified brand and for those who are looking for uplifting, biblical readings to inspire them and help start their days. Give it as a gift for Christmas, the New Year, birthdays, Mother's Day, or any occasion that celebrates a fresh start.

When everything else in the world feels finite and unsure, Sure as the Sunrise reminds us that God is dependable and forever. Sometimes a fresh start isn't found in a magnificent transformation, but in focusing our hearts on the signs, the slivers, the surprises and delights right in front of us.

There is magic in the ordinary if we dare to see it and create it.
