…I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead” (Philippians 3:13, NLT)
Have you made the decision to forget the past? Many people don’t fully understand what that means. They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to me?” But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to overlook. In other words, you have to choose to disregard your past so that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new.
It doesn’t matter what’s happened in your history, it’s time to forget what lies behind. Today, make the choice live forward. Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you forget what lies behind and press forward, you’ll move forward. You’ll see increase and blessing and live the abundant life He has in store for you!

Grant my wish.
As the day is getting nearer, can’t help but feeling a lil lost because i seem to be oblivious about it. Some days i’ll be real motivated, happy & motivate people around me whenever i can but on some days, i feel really sucky. Wasting like time, doing nonsense, doing senseless stuffs. Then I’ll be questioning myself, what the hell am i doing but yet still continue doing it lol.
I’m just making up excuses to myself, compromising with myself and doing stuffs which i shouldn’t. I’m really wasting my time man.
Always said that i wanted to do something BIG for God, be a blessing in other’s life but yet. Meh? All words, no action. Not exactly no action to be honest but it don’t last. My actions doesn’t last. Probably just one day? Two day? Probably just a few days and i’m back to square one. Quite frustrating sigh.
Then again, got to keep trying isn’t it. Too sinful, i’m too sinful. Making too many mistakes which i could have avoided but i didn’t. Dear Lord, please cleanse my sin i beg….
Also, been trying to step out of my comfort zone these years, and i think i’ve been improving. But still, not enough. Not there yet. I’m still too awkward. Can’t seem to open up to people, still. If this doesn’t improve, i’ll have a not-so-great time in school. Really. Meh.
Too much drama recent years, self inflicted dramas included.
I want to become more Holy. Can i? I want to meet God and have God praising me: You have done well Child, come to my side now.

Scripture tells us that there is a battle going on in our minds. Our thoughts dictate our actions. That’s why the enemy will do everything he can to get you thinking in the wrong direction. Sometimes, it’s not our own thoughts that are holding us back; sometimes it’s that we’ve believed the negative things that other people have spoken over us. Those words are like seeds. If you dwell on them long enough, they’ll take root and become a reality.
In life, there will always be people telling you what cannot be done, speaking negative things. Too often we latch on to those negative words and develop what the scripture calls a “stronghold.” That’s a wrong thought or action that keeps us from God’s best. The way you break those negative strongholds is by rejecting the lie, forgiving the person, and embracing the truth of God’s Word. In other words, you have to choose to delete that negative file in your mind.
Today, why don’t you take inventory of your thought life? Ask yourself, “Where did these thoughts come from? Do they line up with what God says about me?” Break the negative strongholds and embrace God’s truth so you can be all that God has called you to be!
A Prayer for Today
Father, today I choose to reject negative thoughts. I choose to reject lies from the past. I break every stronghold through the power of Your Word and embrace Your truth which sets me free in Jesus’ name. Amen.
