Letting Go-- Thanks Joel Olsteen

In order to move forward in life, we have to “let go of the past.” But have you ever wondered exactly how to do that? First, understand that we take hold of things in our minds with our thoughts. Our thoughts become words and actions that determine the direction of our lives. It’s that simple. If you want to choose a new direction for your life, you have to choose new thoughts. If you want to let go of the past, you have to quit thinking about it, quit talking about it, and quit reliving every negative experience.

Oftentimes, when we see someone who has hurt us, that pain and offense is stirred up, and we start thinking about whatagain. But in that moment, I have a choice to make. One of the best things I can do, instead of rehearsing the hurt, is to pray for that person and speak blessing over them.

This is my strategy with my mom, sister and my sons.

Remembering, forgiveness is for me. Letting go of bitterness is for me. I don’t want the past to hold me back from what God has in store for my future any longer. Get past the past by choosing right thoughts because God has victory and blessing in store for my future!

I praying for guidance and direction. I pray the men in my life.

Casini, Dorian and Isaac guidance, discernment and protection.

I pray for healing for Sean.

I pray for 44-year old's heart desires be granted.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I humbly come to You today. I choose to let go of the past. I choose to release those who have hurt me so I can embrace the best that you have for me. Help me to forgive, help me to love, and help me to stay on the good path You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
