A Fire Inside: 30 Day Devotional JourneySample

DAY 20: Perspective—Clinging to the Past

One of the biggest challenges I faced during my healing journey was letting go of the past. I was adamant about clinging to thoughts about how much better my life used to be and somehow still determined to become twice as good as I once was. Despite these feelings, I focused on Ecclesiastes 7:10 and accepted I was a new person. While I still hoped for complete healing, I embraced my reality and began living in the present. As I freed myself from the burden of comparison, I felt the invisible but heavy weight of it lift away.

Moment of Reflection:

Are there any thoughts from the past that are weighing you down?

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, you know me intimately. There are burdens that I bear that nobody sees, but you know the weights of those burdens. Lord, I entrust myself to you today as I am. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
