Daily Affirmation - I Release the Past

Today, I release the past.

I will no longer be held by my failures or successes thus far.

Each day, each minute, each moment is new and fresh and ripe with opportunity.

I will take advantage of my NOW to set myself up for the future for which I dream and strive.

As God throws my failures as far as the east is from the west, so will I.

I start my right now with a clean slate and begin drawing my new self.

Today, I release the past so that my present is the only indicator of my future.

Philippians 3:12-16 NRSV
¹² Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. ¹⁶ Only let us hold fast to what we have attained.
