Day 2: Dressed for the View, Not the Terrain

Opening Stillness

Exhale. You don’t need to prove anything today.

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded...” I Peter 1:13a
— English Standard Version (ESV)

Reflection

Flip-flops work beautifully—until they don’t.

So often, we step into hard seasons dressed for aesthetics instead of endurance. We rely on confidence when what we really need is preparation. We move forward on optimism alone, forgetting that some paths require sturdier footing.

God isn’t calling us to fear—but He does call us to be ready.

Soul Question


Where might you be under-prepared right now—spiritually, emotionally, or relationally?

Prayer


Lord, help me see honestly where I need sturdier shoes. Give me wisdom to prepare, not just confidence to try.

Closing Invitation


Place your hand on your heart and ask God gently, What do I need before moving forward?
