The Thread for Survivors: A 5-Day Devotional Journal of Healing, Finding Your Voice and Sacred BecomingSample

Reweaving with God

Your thread is not lost. Your story is not over. What may feel like unraveling might be the beginning of something holy, a new weaving in progress. You may be holding pieces of your past that feel more like scraps than beauty, torn edges, tangled knots, colors that seem out of place. But in the hands of God, nothing is wasted.

Every thread matters. Every fragment is usable. Every remnant can be redeemed. This is who God is. A Restorer. A Reweaver. A Redeemer of what others left unraveled. “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” Joel 2:25

That promise is not only for ancient people, it’s for you. It’s for the parts of your life that feel stolen or stained. Your voice. Your peace. Your laughter. Your sense of self. God doesn’t just offer comfort; He offers creation. He invites you into a new tapestry—woven together, not apart. Healing isn’t about erasing what happened. It’s about reimagining what’s possible. Together with God, you begin again.

This is not a solo project. This is co-creation. You bring your real, raw threads—grief and glory, pain and potential, and God brings grace, wisdom, and steady hands. Some of your threads may carry ache. Others may shine with new joy. Some days, the pattern makes sense. On other days, you’re just holding thread. But all of it belongs. Tapestries are built with tension and color, and complexity. So is your life.

And the same God who recorded Tamar’s story, who gave her "No!" eternal weight, who saw her desolation- and stayed the same God, is here with you now, honoring your pain, restoring your soul, and patiently rethreading what has unraveled. This is your invitation: not to hide the broken parts, but to offer them, to trust that beauty is still being woven, and that wholeness is still being written.

Reweave a New Tapestry of Change

• What would it look like to trust God with your whole story, not just the easy or edited parts?
• What thread are you ready to pick up again?
• Can you believe that even now, God is weaving something beautiful?

Prayer

God of restoration,
Thank You for not discarding any part of me. Teach me to trust Your hands with the hardest pieces of my past. Help me to trust that You will create something beautiful, something honest, and something whole. God, remind me, again and again, that even when I feel unraveled, You are still weaving.
Amen.
