Grace in the Wilderness
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.—Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)
Some people keep a running list of their failures and regrets and then they wonder why they feel down and depressed. If you make a mistake or say something you wish you hadn’t, let it go. Learn from your blunder and move on. Discipline your thoughts and focus on how you’ve continued on, persevered and succeeded. Look to the good.
Dear God, when I fall into the habit of being hard on myself and dwelling on mistakes, remind me to rejoice in my victories instead.

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.—Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.—Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

I have called you by name; you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1 (NLT)
