Session 1

Hi friends,

 

Couldn’t make the premiere of the Making Peace with What I Can’t Control Online Bible Study with Lysa TerKeurst? Good news—the replay is ready, and you won’t want to miss this encouraging kickoff!

 

Watch Session 1 here!

 

Have you ever tried to calm your worries by telling yourself, “That probably won’t happen”—only to have something you feared become reality?

 

Lysa understands. In Session 1, “Four Reassurances We Need in the Midst of Unknown Outcomes,” she shares how painful experiences left her fearing the worst and questioning what she could count on.

 

One night, while living alone, Lysa heard breaking glass and what sounded like footsteps in her house. Terrified, she called her son-in-law, Michael, who came right over. The culprit? A shattered vase and water falling from the counter.

 

But what helped her calm down wasn’t just knowing what had happened. It was having someone she trusted there with her.

 

That experience reminded her of the reassurance we have in God’s presence: We don’t have to face our fears alone.

 

Through Isaiah 41:10, Lysa walks us through four truths we can hold on to—even when we don’t know how things will turn out:

  • We belong to God. We are personally known, loved, and claimed as His children.
  • God will strengthen us. Our strength comes from Him, rather than having every answer.
  • God will help us. Even when we can’t see or understand what He’s doing, we can trust His help.
  • God will hold on to us. When everything feels like it’s falling apart, we are still in His hands.

We may not know what comes next. But we can know the One who will be with us through it.

 

As Lysa reminds us:

 

“God is the one who is never caught off guard by outcomes. So, who better to have with you?”

 

Ready for reassurance in the middle of your unknowns? Watch Session 1 now!

(1) Making Peace with What I Can't Control hardcover book - JUST released! The companion book to the study: In Making Peace with What I Can't Control: Find Relief from the Exhaustion of Overthinking, Trying to Fix Others, and Wanting to Figure It All Out, Lysa addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. 

She shows us how to:

✔️Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control but only compound the chaos.
✔️Know when we're crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control.
✔️Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion (about God), fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life).
✔️Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.
✔️Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren't You doing more to change this person or these circumstances? and I didn't see You do it then, so how do I know You'll do it now?

 

(1) Come Close to Jesus Devotional - The perfect devotional companion for your study on surrendering control to Jesus! 

Jesus longs for you to come close. Not just for answers or blessings, but to experience His peace—because He is the only one who can calm us, strengthen us, and give us the perspective we need. 

Join Lysa TerKeurst as she shares powerful prayers, devotional teachings, and practical ways to draw near to the Lord.

Come Close to Jesus is filled with prewritten prayers to help still your thoughts, calm your heart, and find guidance in times of need—but most important, to help you spend time with the Savior who loves you more than you can imagine. Whether you struggle with getting distracted during your quiet time, finding the “right” words to say, or bringing your honest thoughts to the Lord, this book was created specifically to help you connect with Him on a deeper level.

Through these pages, Lysa shares her personal journey in growing her prayer life both through seeking the Lord diligently and walking through hard seasons with Him. In Come Close to Jesus, you’ll receive:

✔️Lysa’s reflections and devotional teachings on prayer
✔️Her own guided prayers for you to follow
✔️Scriptural prayers for specific relationships and situations
✔️Bible verses to teach and encourage you
✔️“Prayer in Action” steps to help you pray and incorporate this wisdom into your daily life
