[Ep 126] [Devotional] Falling Forward

Journal Gently: Helping Introverted Women Find Healing After Grief, Hurt, and Trauma

This week is going to look a little different from normal, because I want to share with you one of the devotions from my devotional, Imagine.

Imagine was written based on the spiritual practice of imaginative prayer, which is where you try to imagine what it might be like to be one of the people in the Bible, or to watch a Bible story unfold before your eyes.

The devotional I’m going to read together with you is focused on those times when we fail—big time. Like, not just the normal, everyday failures we might experience like getting grumpy or being late to a meeting or getting into a disagreement with someone in our family.

But the bigger ones, the ones where we really mess it up and we carry the shame or guilt or condemnation around with us.

You’ve got one in mind? I know I do.

Let me read through the Bible passage and devotional with you, and then we’ll have a few moments at the end to ponder some questions together. It’s entitled, “Falling Forward.”
