One of the worst postures you can have as a believer is the unwillingness to forget “those things that are behind”. Meaning, to not allow the memory or decisions from what was to affect your path forward. It is the wildest yet simplest phenomenon to bear the wounds of the past while living in the liberty of your present. God has worked in so many ways in your life over the years, so to allow Satan to lead you to fixate on one failure, one heartbreak, one moment, is to do yourself a disservice by denying the Holy help that is available for you.

Over the years, I have prayed about overcoming, written about overcoming. Still, it wasn’t until I decided that I would, and actually did it through the power of the Holy Spirit, that my mind and heart became truly free. Freedom isn’t just an idea. It can be your reality when you lean into God’s Word, even when you are weak, trusting in His strength.

If you have been stuck in a cycle that has hindered your progress forward, I encourage you to seek the Lord. Pray, transparently and wholeheartedly, for help and release. God is Faithful.

Prayer has always changed things, but sometimes “the thing is you. It’s you who must believe God’s word of old things passing away and being made new in Christ. It’s you who must wrap your circumstances around the hope that is offered through Christ.

Don’t waste another moment in the shadows of your past. God has so much better in store for you; trust Him.
