Movement 7 of 12 · Days 183–213

Starting Again

Failure, and how grace lets you begin again.

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.

Day 192

That first yes was real, and Jesus is still glad you said it.
