🌄 Failing Forward – Day 21

Grace Carries You Forward

Scripture

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Devotional

By now, you may realize something important:

You are still growing — but not because you pushed harder.
You are still standing — not because you were strong enough.
You are still moving forward — because grace has been carrying you.

Grace is not a temporary support.
It is the steady ground beneath every step.

God never intended transformation to depend on your consistency, your emotional strength, or your ability to get everything right. Grace fills the gaps where effort runs out. It carries you through seasons of weakness, doubt, fatigue, and slow progress.

Grace does not rush you.
Grace does not shame you.
Grace does not abandon you mid-journey.

Instead, grace walks with you — patiently, faithfully — even when you stumble. Even when you pause. Even when you question how far you’ve come.

If you are still here, still trusting, still hoping — that is not accidental.
That is grace at work.

You don’t have to carry yourself forward.
You are already being carried.

Reflection Question

Where have you seen God’s grace sustaining you, even when you felt weak or unsure?
