Start where you are.

Each study gathers what scripture knows about one thing you might be carrying. Read slowly, with every verse a door into the chapter around it.

Envy What scripture knows about wanting what isn’t yours. Proverbs 14:30 Generosity What scripture knows about the freedom of an open hand. 2 Corinthians 9:7 Anger The heat that rises before we choose, and what to do with it. James 1:19 Contentment On learning to have enough, in plenty and in want. Philippians 4:11 Fear On being afraid, and the voice that keeps saying do not be afraid. Isaiah 41:10 Anxiety When the mind will not be still, and what is offered instead. Philippians 4:6 Grief Company for the losses that don’t resolve on schedule. Psalm 34:18 Despair For the days when hope runs out and going on feels pointless. Psalm 42:5 Lust On desire that consumes, and the clean heart beyond it. Matthew 5:28 Sadness On sorrow that isn’t a failure, and the quiet good it grows. Ecclesiastes 7:3 Obedience What scripture knows about the love that keeps its word. John 14:15

Every study quotes the World English Bible exactly. Sojourn points to scripture, it never writes it. Tap any verse to read it in the light of the chapter around it.
