"I had not been a conscientious, regular Bible reader for years.  When I was given the the Advent copy of Just One Word at church one Sunday morning, it provided me with the incentive to structure some time each day to devote to the designated Scriptures for each day in the reading guide.  The weekly prayers that were contained in that guide also really spoke to me as I endeavored to say them aloud throughout the day.  They were especially meaningful during those weeks of December.  At the time I was quite anxious about our decision to sell our home of 21 years and build a new home (something I swore 21 years ago never to do again).  Though I prayed for God's guidance in making the right decision each day, I was still having trouble sleeping at night thinking of so many things that had to be done in preparation for this big move . . . the depressed housing market and worrying about whether our home would sell, knowing that we had so many years of accumulated stuff to sort through . . . it was just a challenging emotional time.  When I would awaken at 2, 3, or 4 o'clock in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep, I would make a cup of hot tea and sit down with my Bible (that's 46 years old--a high school graduation gift from my father) and the Just One Word reading guide.  Some days I didn't stick solely to the designated Scripture verses but would keep reading.  This routine had a very calming influence on me.  It not only brought daily Bible reading back into my life, but helped me focus on what I needed to do each day and to stop worrying so much and place my trust in God to see us through."  KM, Tampa, FL
