Enough for Today: Forty Reflections for Surviving the Wilderness

Find Strength in the Wilderness When life feels like a wilderness—a place of uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual stumbling—what do you hold on to? For many of us the past few years have been clouded by plagues of illness and dying, anger and violence, disillusionment and loss. And numerous pharaohs, from the church house to the courthouse to the White House, appear to have risen up to withstand the move of God toward freedom and new life for his people. But the road to freedom is often through the wilderness, dying to what was, while we strain, through faith, to see the life we hope for just barely visible in the distance. In Enough for Today, Donna Barber offers forty reflections on how God provides in unexpected and life-sustaining ways, drawing parallels to the manna that sustained the Israelites during their own wilderness journey. This devotional is designed for those whose spirits have been wearied by deconstruction, for justice seekers still trying to hold onto hope, and for anyone in need of spiritual refreshing amid the arid challenges of our present world. These forty reflections are an invitation to acknowledge your fears while still leaning into what is true as you make your way through the wilderness. Through rich imagery, Barber invites you to rediscover the God of your first love and the places where you encountered him and to find a way forward with renewed hope and faith. What You'll Find in Enough for Today:

- Daily Reflections: Forty devotions to help you connect with God, even when your energy feels depleted - Spiritual Insights: Different ways God meets you in wilderness seasons, often in surprising and unanticipated ways - An Invitation to Rediscovery: Encouragement to hear God's call, face your fears, and rediscover your own identity Whether you're a community leader, a weary advocate, or simply a seeker in need of direction, Enough for Today will provide the daily manna you need to persevere.
