Welcome to the Fall 2024 issue of Everyday Faith! From cover to cover, you will find stories and articles to inspire hope and encouragement and to remind you that you are loved by God. You’ll discover tips on how to feel true gratitude, a guide to select the perfect planner, ways to cheer on school-age kids, comforting words for difficult times, and advice on what to say in tough situations. These pages are full of the best kind of support and reassurance—truth from God’s Word. This year, we are focusing on one key verse to guide us through the days. We chose to center our hearts around the promise of confident hope that the Lord gives us in Romans 15:13. Because we have placed our trust fully in Him, we are promised that the Lord will fill us with joy, peace, and confident hope. I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. —Romans 15:13 NLT We know you care about living your faith (it’s one of the reasons you picked up this magazine) and we hope this issue helps you know and share God’s love in fresh, true, and inspiring ways.
