Are You Allowing Situations From Your Past To Cause You To Be Stuck In A Place Where You Lose Your Hope and Confidence In God?

Are you living your life based on "what if" or "if I would have"?    If so, it's time to stop doing that.   You have to trust and believe that God is working everything together in your life for your good.   You have to know that every new day that you wake up is another divine opportunity to do things right.    You have to realize that God did not leave you in yesterday.   He brought you through and to this new day in Him.   On top of that, He filled this day with brand new mercy.

So often we get stuck on what happened and we try to figure out what we could have done and should have done.   Yes, we make mistakes.   Yes, we have made some bad choices in life but thank God for new days and new opportunities to get it right.      Don't allow the pain and the situations in your past to hold you captive.    If you are going to be captive or captivated by something, be captivated by God.   

The word captivated means to be influenced and dominated by someone or something.   Let God be the One who influences your life.    Let your choices be based on His Word.   Don't allow the things that happened in your past cause you to remain stuck in a position of despair.    When you are in despair, you lose your hope and confidence.    Remain strong in God.   Let your hope, peace, and faith be in Him at all times.
