Failure has a way of convincing you it's final: that you've used up your last chance, that the slip cancels the fresh start, that it's too late for God to use you.
Starting Again walks through second chances in the Bible and in ordinary life, from relapse to broken promises to the quiet way back to prayer. You're allowed to begin again as many times as you need.
From the devotionals
The promise broke, and God's welcome stayed exactly where it was.
Day 198
Every fall happens close to the one who is teaching you to walk.
