Life rarely goes as planned, particularly when we rely on our own plans rather than God’s. So when things go awry, our faith in His faithfulness may waver. And yet God’s faithfulness is not tied to our earthly circumstances but rather to His promises in Scripture. In Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What, author Erin H. Warren unpacks the precious promises of God that are worth far more than anything this world has to offer.
You will learn how God:
- Lifts your burdens to give you rest
- Provides an abundance of comfort that you can extend to others
- Sends rainbows and hope after every storm
- Shares a steadfast love that never wavers
- Gives us His strength to keep running the race
Erin’s prayer is that by the end of this book, “women will fling their arms wide and leap forward to proclaim, ‘I trust in God!’”
Quotes:
Never discount what God is doing in the heart of a child.
Even as adults, we are still learning what faith means.
We have a seed of faith that grows over time.
God continues to be with us even when we falter.
We think if our faith falters, we must not have had faith to begin with.
I was holding God to promises He never made.
God’s faithfulness is that He keeps His promises, and He doesn’t promise us good earthly outcomes.
The Bible is not a book about us. The book is about God.
There is nothing you can do to make God stop loving you.
Since God has been faithful in the past, we can trust He will be faithful in the future.
You have a promise-keeping God.

ERIN’S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BOULDERS
This recipe is a lower-sugar, higher-protein alternative to standard Buckeye Balls. They are not overly sweet, which allows the peanut butter to shine, and the dark chocolate brings a perfect balance and smooth finish. Feel free to use semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer.
INGREDIENTS:
16oz Natural Peanut Butter (just peanuts – no other ingredients)
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 ounces Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
1 bag Dark Chocolate Chips
3 teaspoons of Coconut Oil or Vegetable Shortening
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large bowl, add the peanut butter (and oil from the jar) and salt. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Add in the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix again on medium until smooth.
- Add the crispy rice cereal and stir with a large spoon or spatula until combined.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, firm pack the scoop with dough and spoon it onto the sheet. (You will want firmly packed boulders, otherwise they will fall apart when dipping)
- Refrigerate the sheet and boulders at least an hour.
- When ready to dip, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or vegetable shortening) over a double boiler until smooth.
- Insert a skewer or toothpick into the chilled boulder and dip in the chocolate, covering the bottom and sides and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat with all the boulders.
- Chill the boulders one more time for about two hours or until the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
