Enough people have asked me that I thought it would be helpful. What I share below is a wide sweep of devotionals that are faithful to Scripture and helpful for your spiritual life (all are for both men and women and/or the family). I prefer a Bible reading plan at my own pace–where I can really dig into passages each day and not feel like I’m going through the motions in my devotional reading. And if you're not already in the habit, try placing your devotional somewhere convenient so you'll remember to read it every day.The truth be told, I’ve never made it through a whole devotional book. It’s not that I’m against devotionals, but they generally just aren’t my style. However, grant yourself the gift of 5 or 10 minutes to share with God you'll find peace that will make you want to return to it to seek inspiration for overcoming the day's hurdles. Some days it seems as if we don't have enough time to do anything for ourselves, let alone sit down in prayer and self-reflection. Devotionals also make wonderful gifts for Christian women who need spiritual encouragement. Many people choose to alternate different devotionals or to use them as a supplement to reading the Bible. Others tell stories from the author's real-life experiences or revolve around a theme, such as alleviating anxieties or struggling with imperfections. There are many different types of devotionals some focus on specific women in the Bible or on inspirational Bible verses. One of the best ways to find comfort and remember God is near is to make reading devotional books part of our daily routines.īy using tools such as d aily devotionals for women, it's easier to set aside intentional time for prayer and reflection. When we're pulled in so many directions, we may forget to focus on the inner peace that only God's love offers. It's easy to get off track and stressed out in the daily grind of work, chores, and family responsibilities.
