Give me a devotional that requires some time--a long Scripture passage to digest, a series of thought provoking questions, several suggested action steps, and some quality prayer points. Yes, I want to invest deeply in the Word so that it can change me, making me more into the man God created me to be. 
Yet, there are times in life when the above won't do, when I simply need something "now."
Indeed, there are many such times--stormy times when I am eager for a verse to anchor me as the seas rage. Dark times when my mind scans its memory files for a Scripture that will supply a beacon of light. Stressful and anxious times when my frazzled nerves can handle nothing more than a single, soothing reminder from God's Word. Hopeless and desperate times when the truth of a simple Bible passage can steady my fall into the arms of the Lord.
If you are in one of these times right now, my prayer is that each page of this book will be a beacon that guides your journey toward the safe harbors of God's power, love, faithfulness, goodness, and so much more.I encourage you to cling tightly to the Scriptures you read in the coming pages. May each one lamp your feet and illuminate your path. May each one draw you deeper into the healing, hope, and restoration you need, and may each one move you further from the darkness and closer to God's marvelous light!
 God bless you on your journey!

From the Author:
I have some close family members who suffer from clinical depression. During their times of deepest anxiety, I mistakenly worked to jackhammer down into those depths with armfuls of Scripture and wagonloads of God's promises. It never worked. Like rushing a hypothermic person into a sauna, it was too much, too soon. What they truly need in those moments is just one lasting truth to cling to, just one strong promise to lean on. 
 
Really, the same can be said of us all. In our darkest moments, when our energy and resources seem depleted, all we want is just one light to move towards, just one hope to buoy us, and just one assurance to wrap our arms around.
 
If you are in the midst of difficult times right now, I pray this book will give you that one light, one hope, and one assurance you need to see you through.
