Chapter 8 - Devotional section: 7 Days Of Grace

Day 1: God Sees Me 📖 Psalm 139:1-3 — "You have searched me, Lord, and you know me." God knows the real you—the thoughts you hide, the pain you carry, and the battles you fight silently. You are fully seen and still fully loved. 📝 Reflection: Where have you felt invisible in life? Thank God today that He has never looked away from you.

Day 2: Grace in My Darkest Place 📖 Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Grace didn't wait for you to get it together. It found you in the pit, in the cell, in the middle of your worst night—and still said, "You're worth it." 📝 Reflection: What's one dark moment you now see God's hand in? Write it down and thank Him.

Day 3: Healing from Shame 📖 Isaiah 61:7 — "Instead of shame you will receive a double portion." Shame says you're disqualified. God says you're called. His plan includes your healing, your voice, and your future. 📝 Reflection: What lie has shame been telling you? Replace it today with God's truth.

Day 4: Strength to Change 📖 Philippians 4:13 — "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." You don't have to rely on willpower alone. God's power is within you. He doesn't just forgive—you also receive strength to change. 📝 Reflection: What is one habit or pattern you're ready to surrender?

Day 5: Forgiving Myself 📖 1 John 1:9 — "He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins." Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. But if God has forgiven you, you can learn to release that guilt. 📝 Reflection: Say out loud: "I forgive myself because God has forgiven me."

Day 6: Building New Habits 📖 2 Corinthians 5:17 — "If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come." You're not who you used to be. And you don't have to live how you used to live. Small, daily steps create new life patterns. 📝 Reflection: What new habit can you start today that aligns with the man you're becoming?

Day 7: Sharing My Story 📖 Revelation 12:11 — "They overcame… by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony." Your story carries power. When you speak, others heal. When you share, someone finds hope. 📝 Reflection: Who needs to hear part of your story this week? Write their name. Ask God for boldness.
