I love devotionals! I have several of them that I use for my daily reading. They’re the perfect way to jump start my day and reflect on God’s will for my life. They also address the everyday problems we all face by covering an array of topics. A sampling of addressed topics usually includes reclaiming your share of joy when you’re feeling angry and discovering a new perspective when you’re feeling a tinge of jealousy to turning stress into serenity and gaining clarity when you’re feeling distracted.

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.
