You Were Never Meant to Do It All: A 40-Day Devotional on the Goodness of Being Human

Kelly M. Kapic

Are you exhausted, anxious, and sick of feeling like you should always be doing one more thing?

In this 40-day devotional, award-winning author Kelly Kapic helps you embrace the truth that God never intended for you to do it all. Topics include:

● facing your limits in a world that demands more, more, more
● why God's love isn't contingent on your behavior
● the goodness of your body and the importance of embodied worship
● finding beauty in humility, dependence on others, and rest
● cultivating gratitude and embracing the rhythms and seasons of life

Each devotion begins with a meaningful quote and ends with reflection questions. Kapic shows that limitations aren't sinful but rather that God purposefully designed humans to have limits and depend on one another. Rightly appreciated, these good limits promote freedom, joy, growth, and community.

This devotional is based on Kapic's 2022 book, You're Only Human, and covers the same themes in a more accessible format. As you take this 40-day devotional journey, you'll follow a path to more holistic living that fosters a vision for healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world.
