Below are 30 topics for possible devotions. These are just ideas, triggers to get you started, to help get your creative juices flowing. Each devotional should be 500 to 800 words in length and should include a scripture verse relevant to the message. Please be open and honest in telling your story. If you are thinking it, then someone else probably is too. Remember, we are all human and there is nothing new under the sun. Every devotional should be positive and uplifting. It should remind the reader that Jesus loves them and that others care about them as well. It should help the reader make it from Sunday to Sunday.
