Release the Past

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

Is something that happened a long time ago hindering you from living a full life today? Ask God to help you release your emotional attachment to the past, to let go of your pain, worry or regret.

Heavenly Father, help me let go of the past so that I can appreciate the present.
