Welcome to Day 39 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Isaiah 61:1–3 and the promise that God exchanges our ashes for beauty, our mourning for joy, and our despair for praise. Even when life feels uncertain, God is still moving, restoring, and redeeming every part of our story for His glory.

In this devotion, we reflect on how God’s favor surrounds us even in hard seasons, how He turns loss into testimony, and how His justice and goodness never fail. We are reminded that healing is not just about what’s gone—it’s about what’s being birthed within us as we grow closer to Him.

In this devotion we reflect on:

• How to see God’s hand even in difficult circumstances

• Why nothing in our story is wasted

• How to live in expectation of God’s favor and renewal

Reflection Question:
What area of your life do you sense God exchanging ashes for beauty and despair for praise?
