This 5-day devotional is designed to work alongside the blog “When Life Feels Like Paddle Boating in Circles,” helping you linger a little longer with the story, the Scripture, and God’s quiet direction.

Whether you’re reading the blog first or starting here, each day offers space to listen, reflect, and trust that the dock is closer than you think.

Day 1 – I Didn’t Expect This
Life feels harder or messier than planned.

Day 2 – I Don’t Know How to Steer
Admitting fear, uncertainty, and lack of control.

Day 3 – Something Feels Off Balance
Recognizing what needs a small shift.

Day 4 – I’m Learning to Listen
Noticing God’s guidance through people and moments.

Day 5 – I Trust Where This Is Going
Resting in God’s steady direction and nearness.

This devotional prayerfully will move you from feeling lost and unsteady to trusting God’s quiet, faithful guidance — even when the water never fully calms.
