Do you ever feel distant from God or others? In life, we often wrestle with feelings of isolation from God, our community, or even our own sense of purpose. The Bible reminds us that through Jesus, we are never truly alone. This devotional reading plan explores powerful moments from God’s Word that reveal God’s nearness to us and his desire for unity among his people.
These devotionals were written by writers from the country of Albania, trained in March 2023 by Words of Hope staff. Published originally in Fjalet e Shpreses, the Words of Hope devotional in Albania, these devotionals reflect the experiences of believers in a young church holding fast to faith.

You’ll read passages that challenge you to trust God’s timing, surrender control, and embrace his grace in difficult moments. Along the way, you’ll find encouragement to build deeper connections with others, reflecting the unity and love that Christ prayed for.
Whether you’re feeling spiritually far or near, this reading plan will inspire you to draw closer to God and others, offering hope, peace, and renewed joy in the process. Let’s take this journey together and discover what it means to live fully in the presence of God.
May you be reminded that you are never too far from God’s love and that his Spirit is with you in every step of your faith walk.
