    About this ebook

    If God’s grace could talk . . .

    Actually, it already has. And is. And does.
    And here’s what it sounds like.
    It sounds like hope for days when life feels absolutely overwhelming. It sounds like promise that speaks into every relationship, no matter how desperately in need or how dear to your heart. It sounds like sufficiency in all those places where none of us is ever good enough. It sounds like confidence that would make no sense at all except the full weight of God is steadfastly behind it.
    If God’s grace could talk, it would sound exactly like what this book says in every Scripture on every page. And it wouldn’t sound nearly as old as it actually is, because it’s new every morning and within instant reach at every moment.
    It would sound like God, talking directly to you. Because He is. And does.
    And always does it with grace.

      Introduction

      Life tends to maneuver us into categories, into penciled-in bubbles on the random identification form. Some of them we like; some we don’t. Some we actively seek out and continue to pursue; some are sitting there waiting for us and won’t turn us loose.

      But one thing we all know: deep inside these simple boxes and check marks reside entire worlds crawling with complication, challenge, and difficulty. Even if easy to get into, they are rarely so easy to faithfully, successfully, and steadily keep going through.

      As a mom, for instance, you may often feel inadequate to the tasks thrust upon you or ahead of you. Your days are likely full of activity yet can still feel unfinished. No matter how old your children are, your job will never really be finished. You try maximizing the jobs your particular boxes entail; yet they maddeningly resist being colored all the way to the edges.

      The reason this book exists is because God’s grace never met a check box it couldn’t fill with hope, peace, direction, and perspective—with motivation, counsel, freedom, and opportunity. This book is here, and is now yours, because the Bible not only speaks timelessly to everyone but specifically to you . . . with grace. God’s grace. Sufficient to every place. Even to the places you’re living this very moment.

      Acceptance

      When we are faced with family conflicts, job stresses, or uncertainty about the future, we can rest in knowing that God’s love for us is constant.

      But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Humans do not see what the Lord sees, for humans see what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.

      1 Samuel 16:7

      Everyone the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never cast out.

      John 6:37

      But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

      Romans 5:8

      If God is for us, who is against us?

      Romans 8:31

      Peter began to speak: Now I truly understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

      Acts 10:34–35

      Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter what trials and stressors I might face, You uphold me and guide me according to Your purposes.

      Anger

      Anger is an emotion that can reveal to us our values. The key, however, is not to act out in anger but to speak and act with love.

      Refrain from anger and give up your rage;

      do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.

      Psalm 37:8

      A patient person shows great understanding,

      but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

      Proverbs 14:29

      A gentle answer turns away anger,

      but a harsh word stirs up wrath.

      Proverbs 15:1

      But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Whoever insults his brother or sister, will be subject to the court. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hellfire.

      Matthew 5:22

      Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity.

      Ephesians 4:26–27

      Lord, may Your Holy Spirit guide my words and actions when I’m feeling angry so that I can show grace to my spouse, children, and others around me.

      Anxiety

      Beneath our anxieties is a need to feel in control—but our peace is found in knowing that the Creator of the universe holds us safely in the palm of His hand.

      "Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink;
