Trusting God Day by Day: 365 Daily Devotions Kindle Edition

About a year ago, I purchased my first devotional because I wanted to build my relationship with God and I thought devotionals were a good way to start. I really enjoyed the ones I purchased then and came across this one a couple months ago when I started searching for other ones. I hadn't read anything by Joyce Meyer but had heard enough good things about her books so I decided to give it a chance.This devotional is perfect for the individual who wants to develop a deeper relationship with God by gradually trusting Him. Many times we think we know what's best but that isn't always the case (at least this is true for me). I have some areas in my life where I can't handle them alone so I decided to turn to God with them for some help. I've only had this devotional for a month and a half and it's helping me a lot already! I love how a lot of these devotionals are made for busy people who only have a few minutes to read one of these every day and that's enough to read them.The devotions are dated so I just started with the date when I got this in the mail. There are 365 devotions and it would be nice if there was a devotion for February 29th but you could remedy that by rereading a previous devotion or skipping ahead to a random one. Each day starts with a theme and a Bible verse that pertains to the devotion's theme, most of which are taken from The Amplified Bible, unless otherwise noted. Then the bulk of the devotion is Joyce's thoughts and evidence taken from the Bible about how we could change our attitude about casting our cares (October 9th), being a blessing to others (October 6th), and handling whatever life hands us (August 24th), just to name a few. Some of it is her life experience which really helps to put the devotion into perspective. Finally, the devotion ends with a "Trust in Him" section which gives some questions or statements to think about. I'd say each devotion takes no longer than two or three minutes to read, especially if you read it at a slower pace to digest it more.I purchased the hardcover edition since I like the idea of holding my devotionals. This one is beautiful and has a yellow rose set against a green weathered, hardwood backdrop. It has 437 pages and the book measures 5 1/4 inches by 7 1/4 inches by 1 3/8 inches. It's a good size so you can stick it in your purse, backpack, briefcase, or other piece of luggage. It isn't gender-specific like some devotionals so I feel both men and women could enjoy this devotional.I love how the devotions are always what I need to hear that day and it's always something I can work on. Optimally, I like to read this right when I wake up, before the chaos of the morning starts so I have time to think about what I've read. There have been times when I haven't gotten to read it until the afternoon and I'm agitated and a bit more irritable than usual so I strive to read it early in the morning. For me, this is a great mood-booster and it's helping me trust God more. I've only had it for a month and a half but I love it already and feel it's helping me a lot. I purchased a couple other devotionals by Joyce Meyer but this is the one I keep coming back to. I was excited enough to get it that I ordered one for my sister and she loves it too! If you are a busy person who wants to start (or continue) trusting God more and you want to read a daily devotional, this is a great option. It also makes a great gift and I highly recommend it!

I'm not a big reviewer unless I truly love the item. This devotional is the perfect length for a busy person and helps you view things differently when faced with difficult times. I recently purchased it because of a lack of trust for God due to suffering severe depression and anxiety for many years. I have read almost a months worth of devotions and really enjoy it. I find that it doesn't minimize your problems like some devotional can but it just helps you to see them from a different perspective. I will definitely be recommending this to others.

I absolutely love this book! Very easy to understand and has real world scenarios.

I do love what Joyce Meyer says in this this book, however I have one complaint about it. All the Bible verses use the Amplified Bible version, which to me is very distracting with the parentheses and different interpretations within the quoted verse. It may seem like a small matter, but for a first thing in the morning meditation, I would prefer a straight NIV or NKJV verse.

I am college student, and was looking for something short but also personal. "Trusting God Day by Day" offers a verse, a short summary, and a challenge for you to reflect on. I have only read about a months worth of devotionals, but this book seems to encourage tackling negativity and guilt. I highly recommend this book for someone who wants to work on becoming more positive and understand God's grace more intimately.

I wish I could give this 10 stars. This is my first devotional. I use to think that books like these were useless and a money ploy, not sure why I thought this. But I was absolutely wrong. This is an amazingly, spiritually uplifting devotional, starting with the first page.I connect so much the devotionals. The devotionals connect to scriptures and what we as people go through in our minds, spirit, etc. If you’re battling constant negative thoughts, guilt about your past, etc., please purchase this. I’ve also purchased another devotional written by several others in one book and nothing compared to the in-depth material of this devotional.It’s helping me to focus on Elohim, force negative thoughts out of mind, stop letting guilt beat me down and focus on the blessing that I’m not the person I once was. The material is so practical and uplifting that I’m highlighting key points, something I don’t do in books like this. So thankful for this!I’m begging sister who just doesn’t seem to read much and has made a lot of bad decisions in her life to read this because I truly believe it can help her. It’s so great that I’m begging her to buy it and if she doesn’t, I may gift her a copy. If I had any friends, I would totally gift it to them as well.If you need motivation, want to forgive yourself, seeking improved spiritual formation, or just need someone to tell you that you can do this, this is the devotional literature for you.

I read this book/devotional everyday and I love it. When I am needing a "word from the Lord" God will give me a page number and I turn to that page and it gives me just what I need at the moment or for that day. So I rarely read it on "the day" that it is! I read it on "other days" that God gives me. It is a supernatural devotional. God speaks to me through these pages. It is so wonderful!!

Excellent! Down to earth devotionals reminding me that Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not a church. Many churches do not address real life issues, Joyce Meyers reminds us that God meets us where we are; in our home, in our workplace, and through every second of our own lives, with our own real ups and downs. I've heard about trusting the Lord all my life but still felt I had to measure up . This Joyce Meyer book reminded me that God doesn't want m to fit in, he wants me to follow him! Thank you Joyce Meyers!

Amazing book, life changing in fact. Bought two for me and a friend, truly made a difference to my daily life and how I view/deal with situations. It's very easy to read, so would definitely recommend to beginners - includes straight to the point teaching that are directly from the Bible.

this devotional book is so amazing! the devotionals are only one page long but i really believe that there is so much Godly wisdom speaking in each devotional that it transforms your life, if you apply the lessons. the pages include, a specific verse from the bible related to the topic to interpret, examples from Joyce's life which help understand the context of the teaching, questions to reflect on from the passage and general advice to help strengthen and grow your relationship with God, definitely recommend this book

I am really enjoying this daily devotional. I read it during breakfast and whilst the porridge nourishes my body, this book nourishes my soul for the rest of the day .

Loved this book. Definitely motivational. The daily devotionals aren’t too long so I could read them in the morning. There is a section how you can apply it and the basic lesson to take home which definitely helps and makes you re-evaluate yourself. Would recommend 100% !

Pages jump from march to end of july
