Day 2: Reflect & Release – Letting Go to Grow Forward

Scripture:
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
— Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV

Devotional Thought:
It’s easy to carry invisible weight—mom guilt, past mistakes, disappointments, or even the fear of failing again. But the truth is, growth can’t happen if your hands are full of yesterday. God is doing a new thing, but you have to make space for it.

Today is your opportunity to reflect with honesty and release with faith. What did last season teach you? What do you need to leave behind so you can move forward—lighter, freer, and more focused?

Reflection is not about reliving pain—it’s about learning, letting go, and choosing not to bring old baggage into your new season.

Reflection Questions:

• What is one thing God is asking you to let go of today?
• What did last year or season teach you about yourself and God?

Prayer:
Lord, I release the burdens I’ve been silently carrying. I lay down the guilt, shame, and fear that no longer serve me. Thank You for new beginnings. Help me to walk into this next season with a clear heart, free mind, and open hands. Amen.

Action Step:
Write a “release list.” Include the mindsets, habits, or emotions you want to leave behind in this season. Pray over it, then tear it up or delete it as a symbolic act of letting go.
