- Day 17 | We Are Adopted in Love: Embracing God’s Plan of Belonging
Welcome to Day 17 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Ephesians 1:3-5 and the beautiful truth that before the beginning of time, God chose us to be adopted in love. He had a plan for us to belong to Him, to be fully received as His daughters, and to live from a place of security in His presence.
In this devotion, we reflect together on what it means to be fully accepted by God and to let go of feelings of rejection, fear, or unworthiness. We are reminded that adoption is the ultimate act of love and that through Jesus, we have been brought into God’s family, given His inheritance, and sealed by His Spirit.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How God’s plan for us has always been rooted in love
Why adoption in Christ means full belonging and inheritance
How we can walk in confidence as daughters of God
Reflection Question:
How can we rest more deeply in the truth that God has adopted us in love and calls us His own?💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page

Welcome to Day 16 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on 1 Peter 2:9–10 and reflect on what it truly means to be chosen by God. We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and God’s special possession. He called us out of darkness and into His wonderful light so that we could declare His goodness and walk confidently in His love.
In this devotion, we are reminded that God’s hand has always been on our lives. Even in seasons of pain, rejection, or loss, His grace has been present, leading us back to His heart. We are not forgotten or overlooked. We are chosen, redeemed, and loved with purpose.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How God’s hand has always been at work in our stories
Why being chosen means being set apart for His glory
How His light restores our confidence and belonging

15 min - Day 15 | Our Faith Heals: Finding Holy Courage in Suffering
Welcome to Day 15 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Mark 5:21–34 and the story of the woman with the issue of blood, a daughter who reached out in faith and was healed.
As we sit with this passage, we are reminded that Jesus meets us in the middle of our pain, not after it. We can bring every hidden wound, fear, or unanswered prayer to Him, knowing that His touch still restores and His word still heals.
In this devotion, we reflect together on the holy courage it takes to reach for Jesus when life feels heavy. We remember that He calls us “daughter,” restores our peace, and reminds us that faith still moves Him today.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How Jesus meets us personally in our suffering
Why faith becomes an act of holy courage in hard seasons
How His healing presence brings peace and restoration

27 min - Day 14 | He Rejoices Over You
Welcome to Day 14 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Zephaniah 3:17 and the beautiful truth that God rejoices over you. He takes delight in His daughters — not because of what you do, but because of who you are in Him.
In this devotion, Toni shares how God’s joy is not distant but deeply personal. Through her testimony of healing, she encourages every returning daughter to rest in God’s delight, release shame, and believe that the Father sings over you with love.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How God’s joy and delight reveal His heart toward His daughters

16 min - Day 13 | Loved Much, Forgiven Much
Welcome to Day 13 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Luke 7:47–50 and the powerful truth that those who have been forgiven much, love much. In this heartfelt devotion, Toni Simmons-Husband reminds every Healing Bestie that God’s love meets us right where we are — not in performance, not in perfection, but in presence.
Through the story of the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet, we are reminded that forgiveness births freedom and that faith invites peace. God’s love covers our tears, our past, and our pain, calling us into deeper intimacy and gratitude.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How God meets us in our brokenness and calls us “daughter”
Why forgiveness deepens our love and peace
How to rest in God’s unconditional love without striving

21 min - Day 12 | God Loves You: Resting in the Truth of His Unconditional Love
Welcome to Day 12 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today, we meditate on John 3:16–17 and the truth that God’s love is personal, powerful, and unconditional. His love doesn’t condemn—it saves, restores, and redeems.
In this heartfelt devotion, Toni Simmons-Husband shares a message about surrendering comfort for closeness, breaking free from performance-based faith, and learning to rest in the love that was already secured for you on the cross. You’ll be encouraged to stop striving, release the guilt of “doing enough,” and let the Holy Spirit show you what it means to simply be loved.
In this devotion, we reflect on:
How God’s love pursues us even when we feel unworthy
Why His love is covenantal and unchanging
How believing “God loves me” transforms our healing and intimacy with Him
Reflection Question:
How can I receive God’s love today more personally instead of only believing it generally?💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page

26 min - Day 11 | The Spirit of Truth: Letting God Heal What You’ve Been Guarding
Today we meditate on John 16:13 and the promise that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. God’s love is not distant—it pursues us, heals what we’ve hidden, and invites us into deeper intimacy. Through the Spirit of Truth, the Father reveals what needs to be released and restored so that we can walk in freedom and peace.
In this devotion, we reflect on how the Holy Spirit meets us in the guarded places of our hearts, gently revealing what needs healing and truth. As daughters returning to God, we are learning that His love is safe, His presence is trustworthy, and His Spirit leads us into wholeness.
In this devotion we will reflect on:
How the Holy Spirit reveals truth and brings inner healing
Why vulnerability with God leads to deeper restoration
How resting in His guidance strengthens intimacy and peace

30 min - Day 10 | Rich in Mercy: Remembering God’s Grace in Our Story
Welcome to Day 10 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Ephesians 2:4–10 and the truth that God is rich in mercy. His love reaches us even when we feel undeserving, and His grace renews us every morning.
In this devotion, we reflect on how God’s mercy meets us in our lowest moments, restores what was broken, and reminds us that we are His handiwork. God’s mercy does not leave us where we were but calls us into new life and purpose in Christ.
In this devotion we will reflect on:
How God’s mercy restores what sin and pain once destroyed
Why we can live from a place of grace instead of striving

12 min - Day 9 | No Condemnation: Living in the Freedom of God’s Grace
Welcome to Day 9 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we are reminded of Romans 8:1, which declares that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. In this devotion, we talk about the difference between conviction and condemnation and how to stand firm in the truth of God’s grace.
Together, we reflect on how shame and guilt can keep us bound to our past, but grace sets us free. Through Christ, we no longer have to live under the weight of regret or fear. Instead, we walk confidently in the love and forgiveness of God.
In this devotion we will reflect on:
The difference between conviction that draws us closer to God and condemnation that pushes us away
How to renew our minds and reject the lies of shame
Why God’s grace is greater than our past

What do you need to stop condemning yourself for and surrender to God’s grace?💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page

13 min - Day 8 | Rest in His Love: Finding Peace and Security in God
Welcome to Day 8 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we enter a new week focused on receiving God’s love. In this devotion, we reflect on Matthew 11:28–30 and learn what it means to rest in God’s love instead of striving for perfection.
Together, we explore how rest is not something we earn but a place of trust in the presence of God. When we surrender the need to control, fix, or perform, we begin to experience the peace that only Christ can give.
In this devotion we will reflect on:
Why rest in God’s love is a spiritual posture, not inactivity
How to release striving and embrace peace in His presence
What it means to be secure in Christ even in seasons of uncertainty
