Have you ever felt a desire to find an unshakable joy despite life’s inevitable craziness?
Many women share this desire, especially when faced with daily challenges and responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
The good news is that joy is not only findable but it is promised in our relationship with God.
Finding Joy in Daily Devotionals
Today we want to bring you two incredible resources designed to guide women through this journey of finding lasting joy. “Findable JOY,” a 100-day devotional, and “Minute in the Word,” a free daily devotional, both emphasize that true joy is not found in our external circumstances but in the presence of God.
Psalm 16:11 beautifully captures this…
"In His presence is fullness of joy...". Psalm 16:11
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, losing sight of God’s vision for our lives, and that is relationship with Him.
Benefits of Daily Devotionals for Women
Life is filled with ups and downs! I know, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, right?
But it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or uncertainty.
In the same way that you get closer to someone the more time you spend with them, doing daily devotionals deepen your relationship with God. And naturally when you spend time with the One known as the Prince of Peace, this time will begin teaching you to lean on Him in those hard times! Or it’ll remind you that He is ultimately in control of it all.
For women who often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, this is exactly what we need! In fact, we are built to be in a relationship with Him, so it’s no wonder we find benefits to intentionally spending this time with Him.
How to Integrate Devotionals into Your Daily Life
Finding the time to incorporate devotionals into your daily routine can seem challenging, but with a few practical steps, it can become a seamless and enriching part of your day. Here are some tips to help you get started and stay consistent:
- Start with Small Steps: Begin by setting aside just five to ten minutes each day for your devotional time. You don’t need a large block of time to make a meaningful connection with God. Starting small makes it easier to build a habit without feeling overwhelmed.
- Choose the Right Place At the Right Time: Identify a time of day when you can be most present and undistracted. For some, this might be early in the morning before the household wakes up. But it’s also helpful to designate a quiet, comfortable spot in your home to retreat to. A cozy corner with a comfy chair… a spot at the kitchen table… or even a place outside where you feel at peace. You decide!
- Use a Devotional Journal: Journaling is a tangible way to keep track of God’s blessings in your life Write down your thoughts, reflections, and any insights you gain from your readings. This not only helps you process what you’re learning but also creates a valuable record of your spiritual journey that you can look back on.
In fact, in the “Findable JOY” devotional, that’s exactly why there is a space for journaling prompts every day.
