First Steps Toward Rebuilding Blessing
1. Humble Yourself
- James 4:6 – God gives grace to the humble.
- First prayer: “Lord, I need You. I can’t fix this on my own.”
2. Confess Honestly
- Admit where you’ve been wrong — to God first, then to Julianna.
- Keep it simple: no excuses, no justifying.
3. Reconcile Relationally
- 1 Peter 3:7 – Mistreating your wife hinders prayers.
- Ask her: “What would help you feel cared for right now?”
- Don’t argue her answer. Just listen.
4. Obey in the Small Things
- Deuteronomy 28 – Obedience brings blessing.
- Start tiny: follow through on one thing today (meal, chore, text, prayer).
5. Root Yourself in Scripture
- Psalm 1 – The blessed man delights in God’s Word.
- Even if short, open the Bible daily. Anchor your steps in truth.
6. Accept Testing as Growth
- John 15:2 – Pruning produces more fruit.
- Don’t see setbacks as God’s absence, but His shaping.
Daily Anchor
- Pray humbly.
- Confess honestly.
- Take one obedient step.
- Reconcile where possible.
- Stay in the Word.
Blessing isn’t a switch to flip. It’s a path to walk.
