Starting over with God isn’t embarrassing. He specializes in new starts.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Restarting feels humiliating because you assume everybody remembers the last attempt. Trying again in public means admitting the first version did not hold, and pride would rather quietly stay away than be seen beginning at the bottom. God is not keeping a list of your restarts. New beginnings are the specialty, not a grudging exception.

Drop the idea that you need a clean week before you come back. Start today, midweek, in the middle of a mess, with nothing prepared. Tell one person you are starting again so it exists somewhere outside your head.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Where would you begin if you restarted with God tomorrow?
