What are the words you hold in your heart?
Are words like afraid, dismissed, alone, and regret weighing you down? Do you feel like you are living under a thick layer of discouragement as words like shame, loss, and frustration hover overhead?
The heaviness of life is causing many of us to become more overwhelmed and anxious than ever before. We often forget that Jesus promises us his peace and his presence no matter what we are going through. We sometimes wonder if the words in the Bible really have the power to help us live differently, peacefully, bravely, lightheartedly.
Susie Crosby has written this refreshing combination of a promise book with a daily devotional to remind us that they do. Lighthearted will:

• Provide several promises from Scripture for each hard emotion.
• Include a short meditation with a keyword, prayer, and some simple ways to remember God’s faithfulness throughout the day.
• Offer compassion, strength, truth, and help by calling readers to look to Jesus.

 
Let this simple devotional help you find these promises to be lasting and true as you accept his invitation into a lighthearted life with him.
