A daily companion to the book.
These devotions adapt The Life We Are Given: Caring Deeply Without Carrying Everything by Dr. R. C. Titus.
One original web devotional follows each of the book’s nine chapters, in sequence. Three three-day plans group these readings for the website; the plan titles are not original manuscript section titles.
The complete web collection contains 9 readings across 3 plans. Each reading includes selected Scripture, a shorter devotional, a reflection question, a practical response, and an original prayer. You can follow the sequence daily or spend longer with a reading.
| Plan | Title | Days | Source sequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Receive the Life Before You | 3 | Chapter 1; Chapter 2; Chapter 3 |
| 02 | Rest, Receive, and Grieve Honestly | 3 | Chapter 4; Chapter 5; Chapter 6 |
| 03 | Shared Care and Lasting Hope | 3 | Chapter 7; Chapter 8; Chapter 9 |
