A Year at His Feet

A 365-Day Christian Devotional for Women on Healing and Finding Rest in His Presence

Cover of A Year at His Feet by Ellen G. Coyle

There is a kind of tired that sleep does not fix.

Maybe you are carrying grief that nobody mentions anymore. A marriage that has gone quiet. A body that is failing. A child who has walked away. Something you have never said out loud.

You do not need another book that tells you to feel better by Friday.

This is a devotional for the woman who is still carrying something. One page a day. Ten minutes at the start of a morning or the end of a night.

Each day gives you four things

  • A single verse, drawn from across the whole Bible and never lifted out of context
  • A short reflection that starts in an ordinary moment: a parked car, a drawer you do not open, a hill you used to walk without noticing
  • A Small Thing Today, one concrete action you can actually do
  • A prayer short enough to pray from memory

Twelve months, twelve honest territories

Scripture is quoted from public domain translations, chiefly the World English Bible and the King James Version.

Healing here is slow, and it is real.
