Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. – Philippians 3:13 (KJV)
I have the memory of an elephant. LOL. I can tell you who, what, where, how, and why I was hurt or abused…If I let myself dwell on the past. Maybe you don’t have the “beat a dead horse” syndrome…hey, more power to ya!
I’m speaking to anyone with the following symptoms…
- Holds a grudge.
- Has difficulty letting go of hurts, anger, disappointments, etc.
- Brings up the past in an argument.
- Dwells on the coulda, shoulda, woulda’s…
- Let’s their mind reflect on the past.
- Can’t let go of the past.
If you suffer from one or more of the above symptoms, I have FANTASTIC news! There is a CURE! And guess what? There are no harmful side affects…well, other than a sore flesh.
THE CURE:
- Step One: Give it to Daddy!
- Step Two: LET it GO!
- Step Three: Look forward. Press on.
- Step Four: REPEAT until it works!!!
- Bottom Line: LET GO OF THE PAST!
You will NEVER find happiness there. The only thing you will find is anger, pain, and disappointments. Don’t keep reminding yourself and your husband of all his past failures. Get OVER it! I’m sorry if this seems abrasive, but it’s the Truth. LET IT GO! If you don’t YOU will be miserable until you do. YOU will only hurt yourself and those you really love. Release it to your Daddy and LEAVE it there!
It’s YOUR choice. You CAN do it….IF you want to.
Let’s Pray,
Daddy God, Thank You for Your Word. Please help me to let go of (you fill in the blank). I no longer want this baggage. PLEASE take it from me and help me to look forward and press on. Please send Your Holy Spirit to remind me to let it go when I try to pick it up again. Thank You, Daddy. I RELEASE it to You. Thank You so much for taking this burden from me. Thank YOU! THANK YOU! Praise You Jesus! Thank YOU! I receive Your Peace, Lord. I receive it. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
In His Love and Service,
Lara

Thank You so muc, I have been carring ALOT on my shoulders from the past, I have kept it from Our Father because I just did not want to burden him with My problems, because I always thought he had enough on his plate so to speak.
I needed and still need to let go of all the hurt I have carried for YEARS!
I recieved this in an e-mail from you, and I really needed it at this time, Thank you so much.

Great Devotion, Lara! I know I need to let things go everyday. If I don’t then it’s very difficult for me to be able to accept and embrace all the great plans God has for me and my family. This Devotion is a great reminder to do just that!
As I go through life battling with problems here and there, forgiveness is one of the hardest things I have to do. Especially for myself. I love the cure.. mostly the part that you need to repeat until it works!
Blessings.
