Sometimes You Have to Slow Down to Hear God''s Plan

Do you spend your days rushing from one task to the next, frantically checking things off your list? It''s easy to become so consumed with keeping it all together that you forget to seek God''s plan for your life. He has a much better vision for you—fulfillment and peace that only His grace can provide.

Author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps you find balance within your hectic life. You will learn that being at your best doesn''t mean taking on every task, and meaningful satisfaction can''t be bought with a completed to-do list. Be inspired to move past halfhearted living and second bests into a kingdom of rejuvenation, health, and eternal nourishment.

Let this book encourage you to cultivate balance and savor moments of work and rest—both of which He has lovingly created.

God is omnipresent—meaning He''s here, there, everywhere all at the same time—so no matter what you''re going through today or worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything.

The God of creation cares deeply about every detail of our personal lives. He''s in charge of every galaxy and has named every star. He also knows about the hurts in our hearts and the hairs on our heads. He''s near and far. His glory fills the universe, and yet He''s up close and involved.

Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don''t feel his closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps readers experience God''s trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. In this book, readers will explore these questions and more: 

There''s nothing like God''s presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services, retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through the Word of God, that''s when we experience the presence of God—and it makes all the difference in our lives.

For those who have been disappointed when the "good life" let them down or discouraged by life''s struggles, the goodness of God is trustworthy, life-giving, and everlasting. Jesus wants to lead you on a healing path to redeem your story and to make you whole.

The words we say and the things we pray matter to God and to our health. Where we rest our gaze and how we think about God directly impacts the condition of our souls. Proverbs 14:30 states, "A heart at peace gives life to the body." God is well able to restore and renew us even when culture swirls around us. The world needs healing. But we can''t impart what we don''t possess. 

Scripture highlights the significance of 40 days as a kind of pilgrimage or spiritual journey toward a deeper dependence and reliance upon God. Science highlights how 40 days of practice (of a habit, a renewed thought, a healthy discipline, etc.) directly impacts our brain''s structure and physiological health.

Join best-selling author, popular radio host, and Bible teacher Susie Larson on a 40-day pilgrimage to explore God''s invitation to flourish, heal, and know His peace in a way that changes us forever. Through this journey, readers will discover how to:

Do you still believe God is good? Do you believe He cares about the condition of your soul? And that He still answers prayer? Are you ready to position yourself on the path of His promises and see what He might do in and through you?
