Road Maps to Restoration
When life feels broken, God has not left us wandering. These Recovery Maps trace the steps of healing and renewal found in Scripture—from David’s confession in Psalm 51 to Jesus’ mission in Isaiah 61—showing how every path leads us back to the Redeemer. Each map offers hope, reflection, and direction for the journey from brokenness to beauty.

The Road Maps to Restoration grew out of my own journey. While studying Psalm 51, I recognized the same steps of recovery I had walked—confession, mercy, cleansing, renewal—woven into David’s prayer. Soon, I began seeing the same pattern in other stories, like the woman at the well and Peter’s restoration. They all point to Isaiah 61 and to Jesus, who came to heal the brokenhearted and bring beauty out of the ashes. These maps are my way of tracing that path in Scripture and sharing it with others who long for renewal.
These studies are not intended as counseling but as guides—tracing how Scripture reveals a timeless path from conviction to renewal. As we follow the stories of God’s people, we begin to see our own steps marked by the same God who restores.
Walking Psalm 51 and Isaiah 61 are the first of many maps in this series. Visit again soon—new maps will be added each week.
