Making mistakes is all part of human nature. So why is it so hard to say the three words that can make it all better? The hardest words to utter can sometimes be “I was wrong.”

But as part of a fallen human nature, it is to be expected that at some time or another we will have to admit fault and ask for grace. Thankfully for all humans, there is a loving God who willingly forgives us for all that we do.

The key to surviving a humbling experience is examining our actions and words, and learning not to be afraid of surrendering our pride. To live a humble life, as God commands, isn't always easy. Everyone needs little reminders of their dependence on grace.

Now, in a concise and easy to use seven-day devotional, Contressa Olszewski outlines the process of grace, all the way from repentance to forgiveness, and provides advice and ideas for practical application.

Open your heart and start to actively participate in your own “Prelude to Grace.”
