Candace Cameron Bure’s New Devotional Points Hurting Women to Christ-Centered Hope
Actress Cameron Candace Bure has released a new devotional intended to help women find joy and strength in their daily lives by reconnecting with God through Scripture and reflection.
"Devotionals are such practical ways, in very small steps, to just reconnect with God," Bure, who released her new book 100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey, told The Christian Post. "I cling to these two words because the joy of the Lord is my strength — that comes from Nehemiah 8:10."
In her latest devotional, Bure portrays herself as a mentor for women traversing the silent, challenging times of life that are sometimes hidden.
"This book is for people who feel alone in their struggles," she said. "Life gives us challenges every day. It really is an encouragement to be able to just reset, renew our focus, and remind ourselves that God is with us. He never leaves us. He hears everything we talk to Him about."
Bure also reflected on her experience as a mother of three, which she described as a difficult defining season.
"That was a season in my life that I really had to find the joy in. As much as I loved raising my kids, it was a very hard adjustment," she said. "You can feel shameful to admit that kind of thing … and yet that was the very season in my life where I honestly found the joy of the Lord, and He became my strength. It changed my whole perception."
She told CP that each devotion features a short reflection, a Biblical text, space to reflect, and tools she hopes will help women reconnect with God in a sustainable way.
"Whether you're parenting little ones, walking through grief, or just feeling stuck," she said, "you can open this up, spend 10 minutes a day, and be reminded of who God is."
Bure added that what makes new devotional distinct from others catered to women is providing substance over platitudes.
"I always want to know the why," she said. "Why do we do something? Why should we know that? It all comes back to the Bible. …If we're teaching someone something, it has to have the foundation of truth. And truth comes from the Bible."
The book also distinguishes between experiencing happiness and having joy amid external circumstances.
"There's a big difference between happiness and joy," she explained. "Happiness does come from our circumstances. …But joy is something that comes from inside of us. It sustains and remains despite what's going on around us. That joy comes from knowing the Lord."
According to Bure, joy is having a "heavenly perspective" rooted in having the assurance of eternity instead of daily highs and lows.
"Despite whatever is going on, joy is very different from happiness," she said.
The Full House star, who has now become the chief content officer for Great American Family, shared that she intends to spend time reading the Bible every day to cultivate a life of joy in the Lord.
"It comes down to my time with the Lord," Bure said. "It can look different every day, but I'm always prioritizing being in the Word of God. If my joy comes from the Lord, I need to know the Lord."
