Each person is an enigma. Youre a puzzle not only to yourself but also to everyone else, and the great mystery of our time is how we penetrate this puzzle. We are social animals, and unless we engage God, we can never resolve and understand the truth that lies at the bottom of an enigma of interdependence relationship. A legendary poet wrote, People are fascinating. Theyre so unique and I think whats more fascinating is the reason behind the physical characteristic, the enigma, thats where the gold dust is. Life is never a mystery and a harmful enigma unless we try to interpret it from our human brand or prospective as though it had no underlying truth. The reality is that every person believes in something (be it true or false). Our beliefs modify our behavior. I have put together this journal for you with epic passion projecting the phenomenal person that God intended you to be. Wrong perception of life issues makes man a wrong person. It is my prayer that by reading this book you will be enlightened and inspired to solve the puzzle of life from the prospective of the Creator of life. Certainly, the most important thing that God can give to us is the truth about life. God created us to live passionately but not passively. That is why he instructed us to love him with all our hearts and to love our neighbors as we love our selves.

"There are 365 Bible verses and prayers that will encourage you to pen your journal of prayers at your pace, whether you write daily or weekly.

Nothing warms the heart more than spending time in God's word. We need that communication with him to teach us and guide us through the struggles that come our way. However, our time reading the Bible is more than that. Constant conversations with our Heavenly Father bring us into an intimate relationship with him. He speaks to us through the words we read. We speak to him through prayer. The two combined together can cure the lonely heart. We are never alone. He is always with us, waiting to share his thoughts and encourage us. There are no dates in this journal. It can be started any time of the year and on any day of the week. It's designed for one day a week but could be used for a fifty-two-day study, if preferred. After studying the scripture references and commentaries, the blank spaces can be used to comment on what you've read, for prayer requests, for listing goals for the following week, or for listing blessings and answered prayers from the previous week. However you use it, I hope it draws you closer to God and inspires you to seek his will in all you do.

John Edmund Haggai, founder and president of the Haggai Institute for Advanced Leadership Training, says the Bible's instruction for success often contrasts sharply with the world's advice—and it is this difference that makes all the difference for those who follow it. With clear steps, Scripture references, and encouraging examples, Dr. Haggai presents 13 profound principles based on God's Word that lead each reader to a radically different, eternal approach to true success and fulfillment: Beware the team of one. Believe you can because you know you can't. Enjoy failures—they're good for you. Keep it simple. Be famous for being good. This practical, biblical, and thoughtful guide will inspire readers at every stage of life and in all vocations and occupations to walk in God's will toward great things and godly legacies.

Life is often chaotic. And no matter how hard you try to find space, to slow down, the chaos always seems to win. Tricia Rhodes's life is chaotic too. But in the midst of a time of household turmoil, Tricia learned to see God and coummunicate with him in whole new ways--not on a spiritual retreat, but right in the midst of the chaos of life. She offers us here a fresh view of connecting to God, one that focuses on quality time and frees us from the rigidity of a devotional life that may feel stifled, grow stagnant or bring about guilt when we can't keep up. These pages will help awaken you to the reality of God's presence in your life--just as it is--providing new ways to pray, to listen to God, to view others the way God sees them, to be guided by God. Ideas at the end of each chapter and suggestions for prayer experiments give practical suggestions for connecting with God and noticing his work throughout each day. God is not afraid of chaos. If a chaotic life has you running, let Tricia's words offered here help you run to God in the midst of it and discover the ways he can turn even chaos into something sacred.

“Is it working? Your belief system, that is. Is it really working? God’s intention all along has been for the believer’s life to work. From divine perspective toward terrestrial turf, God meant for his children to succeed. . . Are our Christian lives successful? Are they achieving and experiencing what Scripture said they would? In a recent sermon my son-in-law preached, Curt told us the only way we were going to impact the world and the next generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians I’m convinced it’s real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works.”—Beth Moore; Believing God
