Deepen your faith? You ask, isn’t my faith deep enough already? I’ve known God for years – or months or days. Yea, me too.
I thought my faith was deep enough until I lost:
A sister to suicide
A son to a drug/alcohol interaction
Both my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to cancer
LORD! I find I need you so often. In the day to day and especially on the hard days, I learned how much MORE I need to lean on the Lord – and learn His Word.
[Tweet “Out of a place of deep need, I wrote a 6 day devotion to help deepen my faith.”]I felt led to turn this writing into a mini-course for you who find themselves at a point in your faith walk wanting (or needing!) to deepen your faith. Would you like to see the points addressed?
Day 1.
Created…for a Purpose
Day 2.
What does God want you to do right now?
Day 3.
Living example ~ God shines His brightest light in our darkest moments
Day 4
. Tell Your Story
Day 5.
Transformation
Have you asked yourself what you are here for?
Lord, why, your soul cries out. And He has an answer for you. Do you want to hear Him? Yes, indeed! The good news is God will guide your next step as He shines His brightest light into your darkest moments to bring healing and hope where restlessness and possibly hopelessness reside.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)
Have you shared your story? The lesson I learned by sharing my story is that there’s healing and hope for someone else in my story. Lord God Almighty, may You and You alone be glorified in the telling of our stories, for You work together all things for the good of the ones who love You.
As you share your story, a beautiful thing happens. God changes you, from the inside out. And you deepen your faith, every time you share your story.
[Tweet “Here’s the deal – your story is for God’s glory.”]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 (NKJV)
Oh, by the way, this mini-course is free. I send you virtual, heartfelt (((hugs))) as I invite you to wade in a little deeper as you jump into God’s word with me. Blessings.

Hi Susan,
Love this! God does something pretty miraculous out of the depths of our rubble. I pray your mini-course will reach many and help them lean into the Father even closer! I’m sharing you and this post as my feature for #MomentsofHope tomorrow! Thank you for coming alongside me to share hope each week ❤️
Blessings to you,
Lori
I’m excited to read these devotionals! Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com, and thanks so much for being willing to share your heart and your story!

Hi, thanks for being so faithful to share with us on the #LMMLinkup. This series looks like a great help.
“Your story is for God’s glory.” Love that Susan. 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful resource! I’ve pinned it :).
I think your right. I think for me, instead of holding my story in I have started to embrace it and I will share it here and there. By doing so, I can see the miracles that have taken place in my life.
You are an amazing person and thanks for this.
Oh Patrick, God is amazing and His work in us it what shows. May we choose to honor Him by sharing our story for His glory! Bless you. Susan
You are an amazing story of God’s redemption! Thanks, Susan
“Here’s the deal– your story is for God’s glory.” I love that line, and the truth that anchors it– nothing that happens to us is an accident, as if our pain might take God by surprise. Realizing that we are never outside of His care, never for a moment abandoned to our circumstances, is a great comfort. I love how He is redeeming your story, and how He has redeemed mine. He is so good! I hope He will continue to use you to comfort others. God bless you!
God bless you too Catherine. He is faithful for sure. Hugs. Susan
Thank you for letting God use your pain for His glory and for our good here in this place.
Thank you for reading Elizabeth. God is simply GOOD! Hugs. Susan
Susan – loved your tweet – Your story is for His glory. I also love that you have done a free mini course, and are able to take the loss and tragedy in your life and turn them around for good and to help others – you go girl! Have an awesome weekend.
Awww thank you Debbie! Hugs. Susan
I had no idea you had experienced such loss. I am so sorry. I am sure you have been clinging to God and we could learn much from what He has revealed to you. laurensparks.net
Amen Lauren. God is faithful ALL the time and so good to us even in the midst of great loss, which we all experience in some way or another. Hugs. Susan
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry to read of all the heartbreaking losses you have had in your life. I HAVE asked myself what I am here for. It’s a question I am still pondering. The mini-course sounds wonderful. Very useful! Thank you.
Laurie, thank you. I pray there is revelation and awareness found for you in those words. Hugs. Susan.
PS-they are mostly God’s words cuz revelation will not come from mine for sure, but from His.
