Growing Through Correction

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: Hebrews 12

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

God’s discipline isn’t rejection—it’s love in action. He corrects those He calls sons and daughters. If we avoid or resist correction, we miss the growth He’s offering. But if we embrace it, it leads to deeper righteousness and maturity.

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Father, help me receive Your correction with a humble heart. Shape me into who You’ve called me to be.
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Take Action:

1. Reflect on a recent conviction or challenge from God—journal what He might be teaching you through it.
2. Ask a trusted mentor or leader to share one area where they see room for growth in your life.
