Take comfort in the perfect Fatherhood of God in this forty–day devotional

While our relationships with our earthly fathers were designed to reflect our relationship with our heavenly Father, the reality of sin in our world means that many of us have relationships with our fathers fraught with pain, disappointment or absence. This devotional was written as a reminder that God is the wonderful Father that each of us desperately needs. 

Even for those who have good relationships with their fathers, many memories can be filled with joy and laughter and hold warm feelings of love, some others are expressed with sadness, tears, and feelings of betrayal. Rosann Coulon has found herself on the spectrum of all these emotions.

This devotional consists of ten sections, demonstrating something our fathers should be, and showing how God perfectly displays fatherhood.

A Loving Father

An Encouraging Father

A Faithful Father

A Guiding Father

A Trustworthy Father

A Providing Father

A Protecting Father

A Comforting Father

A Healing Father

A Merciful Father

 

Each section contains four daily readings. While starting at section one and reading through section ten is a great way to read this book, another option is to pick the section that resonates with your current life situation and start there.

Take time to read the Scriptures listed in the Pause section each day; meditate on the questions in the Ponder section; and use the Pray section to help you speak to your Heavenly Father.

If your relationship with your father is marked by heartache, or if you need a rich reminder of the goodness of the Lord, 40 Days to God, My Father will be a balm to your heart.
