In this issue of Everyday Faith, you will find stories and articles to inspire hope and encouragement and to remind you that you are loved by God. You’ll discover tips on how to start each day with gratitude, devotions for summer “me” time, country music stars’ favorite Bible verses, stories of hope during tough times, and advice on what to do in difficult situations. These pages are full of the best kind of support and reassurance—truth from God’s Word. This year, we are focusing on one key verse to guide us throughout the days. We are choosing to center our hearts around the promise of confident hope that the Lord gives us in Romans 15:13: “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Because we have placed our trust fully in Him, we are promised that the Lord will fill us with joy, peace, and confident hope. We know you care about living your faith, and we hope this issue helps you know and share God’s love in fresh, true, and inspiring ways.
