Forget the Former Things; Do Not Dwell in the Past

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past." (Isaiah 43:18)

Today's Word You may be hurting and aching from your past, but take heart for God is with you! God wants to help you recover these things, as well as the lost years of blessings. In fact, His desire is to give them back to you in even greater abundance. No matter where you are today, no matter where you've been in the past, God wants to give you a new future filled with joy, fulfillment and abundance. God's power will help you break the chains of your past so you can face tomorrow anticipating His blessing and favor. Look ahead to the blessings He has for you, not back to any hurt or suffering that may be in the past. So if you're looking back today, turn around and start looking ahead.

A Prayer for TodayGod, help me to keep looking ahead to the exciting future You are preparing for me. Thank You for Your promise to heal the past. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
