Overcoming Disappointments
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past”
(Isaiah 43:18, NIV)
The Bible tells us that every person, no matter how much faith they have or how good they are, will face disappointments. It may be something like a relationship not working out, someone you trusted is talking poorly about you to others, or a divorce has shaken your life. Whatever it may be, the reality is that we’re all going to suffer setbacks. I believe one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past.
If you feel “stuck” today, you may want to examine what you’re holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God’s forgiveness? Make the choice today to forgive. Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, search my heart and mind today. Show me any area where I may be holding on to the past. Help me to receive Your forgiveness so that I can extend forgiveness to others and move forward in the wonderful plan You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
