As one year ends and another begins, it’s natural to reflect on what has been—both the victories and the regrets. Often, the moments we replay most are the failures and poor decisions we wish we could change. But God reminds us that the past is meant to be a place of learning, not dwelling. He is always moving us forward. When we release the weight of yesterday through repentance and forgiveness, we make room to see the new thing God is already doing.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
— Isaiah 43:18–19

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Lord,
As I look back on this past year, I thank You for carrying me through it all. I confess that some of my choices missed the mark, and I repent of any sin or hurt I may have caused. Teach me what I need to learn from the past without allowing it to define me. Help me truly receive Your forgiveness, knowing that what You forgive, You no longer hold against me. Tonight, I release the weight of what was and step forward in faith, trusting You with what is ahead. Thank You for making all things new.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON


What lesson from the past year is God inviting you to carry forward—without carrying the guilt with it?


Is there forgiveness you need to receive or extend so you can move freely into what God has next?


How does trusting that God is “doing a new thing” change the way you view the coming year?
