Devotions for When Life Is a Lot
When you feel overwhelmed by life’s demands, trials, and emotions, you are not alone. God welcomes you into his rest and peace.
You Are Welcomed by a loving God is the gospel truth we need to hear when life is an unruly combination of responsibilities, relationships, interruptions, dreams, and drama. In this ten-week devotional, author and women’s ministry leader Trish Donohue helps women who are weary turn to the Lord, put down their burdens, rest in his welcome, and then welcome others to walk with Jesus too.
Trish shares stories of biblical men and women who brought their burdens to the Lord. Each story exemplifies a different sort of pressure, including busyness, disillusionment, crisis, isolation, envy, doubt, fear, and failure. You are not alone in what you’re facing, and God wants to meet you in the same ways he has shown himself to his people from the beginning.

Endorsements:
“As a working mom, I often wake in the morning with a list of things to do and needs to take care of already running through my head. Rarely am I intentional to consider and pursue my own need for refuge, rest, and refreshment. Where do I even start? It's easier to start with the day's to-do list, so before I know it, I'm off and running. Trish Donohue understands the tension we feel and knows the time constraints we're under, and she also knows how much we need Jesus. She gives us an accessible runway to meet with him. Just what we need.” ~Christine Hoover, Author of Seek First the Kingdom and Messy Beautiful Friendship
“Trish Donohue writes with warmth and wisdom, humor and humility. Weaving together stories and biblical truths, her ten weeks of devotions lead us to sit at the feet of Jesus. Are you weary and heavy laden? In this book, you will find rest for your soul.” ~Katie Faris, Author of He Will Be Enough and God Is Still Good
“I’ve known Trish for twenty years and have watched her depend on God through life’s ups and downs. Over that time, she’s cut a well-worn path to the Savior. You are Welcomed is an invitation to join Trish on a daily journey to better know and depend on Jesus. I’ll be getting a copy for my wife and daughters. I want them to benefit from the biblical truths and wise counsel Trish offers in this beautiful resource.” ~Marty Machowski, Family Pastor; author of The Treasure, The Ology, WonderFull, and other gospel-rich resources for church and home
“Life is often a lot, but the encouragement and advice of a godly woman with life experience makes it easier to bear. In this book, Trish Donohue does what the best of friends do: she points us back to God’s Word, where we find strength for our souls and courage for our circumstances. Packed with Scripture, these brief meditations will refresh your heart with the gospel of Jesus Christ.” ~Nicole Whitacre, Coauthor of Girl Talk, True Feelings, and True Life
“The Lord of the feast invites us to come. Yet, some of us are strangely slow in our coming. Trish Donohue's book extends a bridge and lends a hand to women who want to think deeply about Christ and their lives of faith. The feast awaits.” ~Irene Sun, Author of Taste and See: All About God's Goodness
“When life feels overwhelming, it’s tempting to grit our teeth and try to claw our way out of the chaos on our own. You Are Welcomed shows us a better way. Relating common experiences with timeless truth, each devotion lifts our eyes to the God who sees our struggles and is strong enough—and tender enough—to help us.” ~Amy DiMarcangelo, Author of A Hunger for More and Go and Do Likewise
