Big Rest Energy: Cultivating Powerful Rest Habits in a Busy WorldНамуна

Day 9: Letting Go of the Past
Devotion:
Sometimes we hold on to the past like it’s a lifeline. Maybe it’s because it’s familiar, even if it’s heavy. Or maybe we’re afraid to let go, unsure of what’s waiting on the other side. But here’s the thing: when we cling to what was, we can miss what God is doing right now.
God isn’t stuck in the past, and He doesn’t want you to be either. He’s always working, always moving, always creating something new. And His plans for you? They’re better than anything you’re leaving behind. Letting go isn’t about forgetting or dismissing your experiences—it’s about trusting God to use them as stepping stones toward the future He’s preparing for you.
Today, take a deep breath and release what’s weighing you down. The regrets, the missed opportunities, the hurts—place them in God’s hands and make room for the new things He’s bringing into your life. You don’t have to carry yesterday’s baggage into today. Trust that what God is up to now is not just better—it’s exactly what you need.
Prayer:
God, help me to release what’s behind me and focus on the new things You’re doing in my life. Amen.
Journal Prompt:
What’s one thing from the past you need to let go of to move forward?
Practical Application:
Write down something you’re ready to release, then physically tear it up or throw it away as a symbol of letting go.
