Moving Forward
Written by Lynette B · Plano Campus
Scripture
Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Psalm 51:10-12 NASB
Sometimes we allow our past mistakes and actions to cripple us. As we progress in our “walk with the Lord”, we come to understand that those things are in the past. God’s love and forgiveness after true repentance provide inner renewal. We can move forward in his grace.
Prayer: Lord, please hear my heartfelt thoughts as I pray. Create in me a clean heart as I begin this new day. Help me to move forward from the burdens and sorrows of yesterday. As I regret my shortcomings, forgive and renew me too. Give me a new spirit, one that focuses on yielding itself to You. Let it be steadfast and exemplified by what I say and what I do. Father, I crave the joy of Your salvation that no man can steal from me. Renew my strength and my joy that I might walk more faithfully. Oh Lord, oh Lord, contrast me into the person that you’d have me to be. Amen.
