Prevail: 365 Days of Enduring Strength from God’s Word by Susie Larson Book Review

In Prevail, Susie Larson has written a brand-new devotional that covered the whole scope of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. She discussed throughout the book about how God is our strength and our shield and through Him we can prevail. The book also contained topics by subjects that will allow readers to study what the Bible says about them. These included, “healthy thought life, strong and courageous, power of perseverance, power of prayer, protection from enemy, spiritual warfare, worry, promises of God, authority in Christ”, and much more. Each day included a scripture passage, a story describing the lessons found in the story and how we can apply it to our daily lives, additional reading passages, a flourishing thought, and a prayer.

 

 

One of my favorite passages and stories, she shared was on day 244 and this day looked at Luke 10:19. It discussed our authority over the enemy and how we can walk among the snakes and scorpions and crush them. We will be protected and not injured. She shared her own personal story about her battling Lyme disease and she struggled with neurological symptoms all over her body. She opened up about what God revealed to her during this time and the fears she was facing. God showed her how she had to learn how to take authority over the enemy and that she needed to be in awe and marvel that her name was written in the Book of Life. She had to learn to rest in the fact that she was saved and the miraculous power found in Christ. I connected to this one because I too have experienced and was treated like I had Lyme disease years ago and I could only function on antibiotics. Eventually, I was healed and experienced pain free symptoms. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome devotional to anyone who is seeking a new devotional that offers encouragement in our walk with Christ. I liked how she wrote the devotional and covered the whole Bible where readers can learn things from each passage and apply it in our daily walk. I also liked how the book included bright colors to make it appealing to the readers and it changed every few days to keep it refreshing and new. I also enjoyed how it had a ribbon bookmark enclosed into the book. I immensely liked how she discussed the topic of our authority in Christ and not to be overly concerned with what other’s think about us. I appreciated how open she was in sharing that she struggled with insecurity and how God has helped her to become whole. I have only started reading some of the days but I will continue reading this devotional because it contained helpful stories, and it will help me in my walk with Christ and it will provide much needed strength. It will help me to prevail during whatever, I may be facing for that day.
