Dear God Please take away my pain and despair of yesterday and any unpleasant memories and replace them with Your glorious promise of new hope. Show me a fresh HS-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. I ask You for the mind of Christ so I can discern Your voice from the voice of my past. I pray that former rejection and deep hurts will not color what I see and hear now. Help me to see all the choices I have ahead of me that can alter the direction of my life. I ask You to empower me to let go of the painful events and heartaches that would keep me bound. Thank You for Your forgiveness that You have offered to me at such a great price. Pour it into my heart so I can relinquish bitterness hurts and disappointments that have no place in my life. Please set me free to forgive those who have sinned against me and caused me pain and also myself. Open my heart to receive Your complete forgiveness and amazing grace. You have promised to bind up my wounds Psa 147:3 and restore my soul Psa 23:3. Help me to relinquish my past surrender to You my present and move to the future You have prepared for me. I ask You to come into my heart and make me who You would have me to be so that I might do Your will here on earth. I thank You Lord for all that’s happened in my past and for all I have become through those experiences. I pray You will begin to gloriously renew my present. Sue Augustine
About This Quote

I have been through a lot of pain and heartbreak in my life. I have been knocked down and crushed. In the past, I have been forced to let go of many things that I wanted, but was not able to have. I have been able to let go of negative things from my past and move on.

I have been able to forgive those people who have wronged me and myself. I have been able to let go of bitterness and hatreds. I have been able to receive forgiveness from those people who have sinned against me and caused me pain and also for myself for not being strong enough to control all the negativity that has come into my life.

Now as I look back on my present, I can see that God has completely changed my life for the better because He has given me the mind of Christ, which means that now I can see His voice in everything that happens.
