The Solid Place: 365 Affirmations for Thriving Emotionally and Spiritually

by Margot Starbuck

In a noisy world, these 365 short affirmations—typically 5-10 words—can be held in your heart and mind throughout the day, equipping you to remain grounded in what is most true and real about you, about others, and about God.The reason we need to choose for what is most true, every day, is because the experiences we’ve endured—absence, loss, pain, trauma—have bullied us into believing lies about who we are, who others are, and who God is. But truth sets us free. In the person of Jesus, we hear God’s constant whisper, “I am the one who is with you and for you,” and we recognize the face that does not fail. This is the voice to listen to. This is the face to trust. Read The Solid Place and be inspired to live, daily, grounded in truth.

While I’ve always liked the *idea* of a devotional, I never seem to get out of it what I hope to. I start out strong and then I miss a few days, or become overwhelmed by all of the information and I end up either not finishing it or not really taking much from what I read. The Solid Place by Margot Starbuck is the first devotional I can honestly see myself consistently using for months, and even years.

Starbuck’s “365 Affirmations for Thriving Emotionally and Spiritually” are organized into short, daily pieces of encouragement and truth. Because each affirmation is concentrated, I am able to focus on one specific positive assertion throughout the day and let it really sink in as I go about my day. Each affirmation is a truth about God that we all continue to need to hear:

God sees you. God is here for you. His truth and love can be trusted. His grace can set you free from your past. There is nothing that can separate you from God or make Him stop loving you.

Following each daily affirmation is a corresponding Scripture that strengthens each statement and backs up each truth. The Solid Place is a book that will help everyone—regardless of where you are on your faith walk—be able to grow in your relationship with God, with others, and with yourself.

The Solid Place, by author Margot Starbuck is an "easy to read and easy to use" daily book of affirmations that cuts out the lies we have believed over the years and instead shows us the truth of who we are in Christ.
There are 365 of these affirmations and it's simple to read one each day with it's accompanying bible verse.
There is a morning meditation that really sets the tone for the day as a launching pad for that day's affirmation.
This is a book you will want to have out on your coffee table and not away on a shelf. Margot Starbuck has done all of the work for us, so the easy part is reading each day's reflection, holding a space for it as you go about your day and then living in thankfulness for God's truth over us as the day ends.
