Stop Staying Down (How to Rise After Your Biggest Mistake)

Braden Pedersen centers our day on God’s Word in this Back to the Bible Daily devotional about starting again after failure. Drawing from Proverbs 24:16, Braden reminds listeners that the righteous fall and rise again — failure isn’t final. If you’ve felt like you blew it, this short episode offers biblical encouragement to confess, receive grace, and take one forward step toward restoration. Read — Read Proverbs 24:16 (ESV) aloud: “For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.” Reflect — Ask: Where have I stayed down instead of returning to God? What one step toward obedience can I take today? Respond — Prayer: Father, You know where I’ve fallen. Thank You for Your grace; help me rise, return to You, and walk in obedience. Amen. Reveal — Tell a trusted friend you’re choosing to rise again, read Proverbs 24:16 together, and offer to pray for one another.
