The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10, NIV). Do you often feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water? Do you feel like each day passes by in a blur of overwhelm, worry and chaos, and you’re left feeling utterly depleted? Perhaps you feel like you don’t quite measure up, or the dreams in your heart are taking a lot longer to come to fruition than you thought they would. Do you feel like you’re on a treadmill of monotony and life isn’t at all how you thought it would be? In this 30-day devotional, Kristen Fraser draws on Biblical truths and personal experiences to share thoughtful and practical insights about what it means to live an abundant life. Thrive, Don’t Just Survive is written from the heart (and the trenches of life!) and shares scripture, thoughts and prayers to encourage you to step wholeheartedly into who God created you to be. Thrive, don’t just survive!
