Everyone wants to move forward in life. Everyone wants new opportunities, a fresh start, the chance to rebuild what was broken, and the strength to rise again after falling. Everyone desires to look at their life and say, “I made it.”

But the truth is that restarting is not easy. Many people feel stuck in their past mistakes. You try to begin again, but memories, guilt, fear, or discouragement pull you back. It feels like no matter how much you want to start over, something inside blocks you, and the more you try, the heavier it becomes.

I’ve got good news for you! You don’t have to stay trapped in your past. From today onward, your story can begin again. There is one decision that can give you the strength you’ve been trying to find on your own. That strength comes when you allow the Lord Jesus to renew you from the inside out.

It is written:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

I challenge you today to test this Word. Either the Word of God is true or it is not. Either it transforms or it doesn’t. However, I am sure that it is true and that it works in the life of anyone who places their life in the hands of the Lord Jesus and lets Him start the transformation.

So today, take this step: give Him your past, your mistakes, your fears, and everything that has been holding you back. Allow Him to guide your steps and rebuild your life with His wisdom and His strength.

From that very moment, I doubt you will continue feeling stuck. You have been carrying that old story long enough; it’s time to use your faith and begin a new chapter.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
