The past can be a source of distraction from knowing the plan and purpose God has for our life. GOD’S WORD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE. (Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. There is nothing going on in my life that is beyond the promises of God’s word. (Matthew 5:4) "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."  GOD OFFERS US A PLACE OF SECURITY. (Psalms 61:1-3) Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. (Exodus 20:7) “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God… (Exodus 20:12-17) “Honor your father and your mother… “You shall not murder. “You shall not commit adultery. “You shall not steal. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. “You shall not covet..." (Isaiah 55:8-9) "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." GOD’S REFUGE IS A PLACE OF PEACE. (Psalm 61:3-4) For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Philippians 4:6-7) Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. EMOTIONAL HEALING MUST BEGIN WITH SPIRITUAL HEALING. (Matthew‬ 11:28‬-30) Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life…”
