Inspirations for Today

About the Book

Life can be overwhelming. Life can even leave us raw and broken, both spiritually and physically. And as Christians, we may often wonder how God is present in our personal and global world. Yet God is there for us, even in these moments of brokenness and struggle. In Inspirations for Today, author Dorothea Erdmuth Lotze-Kola responds to the pressures of the world with a heartfelt daily devotional that you can use to find inspiration in prayer and meditation. Offering biblical verses and quotes of wisdom from noted authors, poets, activists, and world dignitaries, Dorothea engages in a daily dialogue where she shares her perspective on faith and life as a marriage and family therapist, as a pastor, and as a wife and a mother with teenaged girls. It can be hard for Christians to engage with today’s world—especially when they feel doubt about God’s presence in their lives. But with daily reflection on God’s Word and time set aside for spiritual meditation, you too can be reminded, each and every day, that God is with you and that he is working in the world as the Holy Spirit.
