Hey Clawson Family!

Scripture: 

Romans 7:21 (NLT)"I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong."

Devotional:

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come when we pause and retrace our steps. Just like walking into a room and forgetting why you're there, spiritually we often end up in places we didn’t intend to be. Bad moods, broken relationships, poor decisions — they all started somewhere. You didn’t lose your peace or purpose overnight. It started with a thought, a moment, or a compromise.

God invites you to retrace, not to shame you, but to free you. Ask, “Where did I let that mindset in? When did I stop trusting? When did fear start guiding me?” These questions open the door to healing. The Holy Spirit wants to walk with you through your past so He can lead you into freedom for your future. You can’t fix what you won’t face.

Journal Questions:

• What unhealthy thoughts or mindsets have crept into your life?

• Can you identify when or how they started?

  
  

Challenge:

Take 10 minutes today to journal a moment when you started to feel “off” and ask God to show you what triggered it.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, help me retrace my steps with honesty. Show me where I’ve allowed the wrong things to shape my mind. Lead me back to truth, peace, and purpose. Amen.
