What's gone is gone
"But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I can go to him, but he will not return to me."
2 Samuel 12:23
What's gone is gone. What's done is done. What's in the past needs to stay in the past. Therefore, focus ahead, focus above - focus on God. The Lord has great things for you, but looking back and wishing what was will be again will only keep you from receiving them.

Go! Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?
“... Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?”
Judges 4:14
Go already! Today is your day. God has already done the work for you; he’s already gone where you’ve been wanting to go and given you the victory - yes, he’s already cleared the path for you. So what are you waiting for? Why do you fear? Yes, it will take some deep faith, some deep determination, and it may not be as easy as you want, but it’s yours... now go and take it.

How will you ever win this battle before you?
“... “Who Can stand up before the Anakites?” But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly, as the Lord has promised you.”
Deuteronomy 9:2-3
How will you win the battle before you; the battle that looks absolutely impossible? Well, for one, you won’t win the battle before you, only God can. And, for two, it is impossible for you, but with God all things are possible. Hence, since you have God as your Leader and Lord, the battle before you is already your victory - he has gone before you and conquered it. Therefore, my dear friend, take a big step up and take that victory all the while remembering to thank God for every ounce of it.

The power of Almighty God
”The power of the Lord came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.”
1 Kings 18:46
Oh my - when the power of God falls on you, there is no man, woman, beast, or burden that can keep you from the victory.
My friend, when you seek God always, you will find victory always.
Praise God
Amen

Step aside
"Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand."
-Philippians 2:1-4 MSG
Step aside, put your ego below your feet, let those around you go ahead... for in doing so, your time will come, and it will be much greater than you could ever think, want, or hope for.
As well, remember the fine, truth-filled, words: Those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first (Matthew 19:30).

Travel the road in which you are called
“... I want you to get out there and walk - better yet, run! - on the road God called you travel...”
-Ephesians 4:1-3 MSG
Are you running on the right road? Do you see the light ahead? If not, turn back - ASAP - look up to God and ask him which way to go. Once you do, He will turn on the street lights of Heaven on for you to see ahead, and the red lights of Hell will begin to diminish in your rearview mirror.

Good times ahead
So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MSG
If we can realize that our hard times are all part of God's plans for us -blessings in disguise and all of them worth every second - then life will be a lot less complicated and stressful, and hard times are all they are - simply, hard times. For when we hold steadfast in Christ hard times are not a big deal because we know they lead to some God-blessed, amazing, good times ahead.
Praise God!!!

Forget the past - it's over and done with
“Let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back…” Hebrews 12:1 (LB)
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18 (NIV
“Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead…” Philippians 3:13 (NLT)
As we can read, the Word of God clearly wants us to put the past behind us and move forward with our lives. Therefore, if you are, in any way, stuck (frustrated, hurt, angry, depressed, dark, lonely, rejected, hopeless, discouraged, etc.,) then heeding the verses above is of the utmost importance! The past, whether good or bad, can be looked at as stepping stones, learning curves, and blessing builders for a great future ahead. So, although it may be difficult at first, change your mind and focus toward your future and know that the past happened just as it was supposed to happen; for if you wouldn’t have experienced what you did, you wouldn’t have the necessary experience to become the great person of God that you were called to be.
My friend, God loves you and he has a great plan allotted just for you.

Look ahead with joy
“Pay close attention now:
I’m creating a new heavens and a new earth.
All the earlier troubles, chaos and pain
Are things of the past, to be forgotten.
Look ahead with joy…”
Is. 65:17-25 MSG
Today is a new day, rejoice and be glad. Yesterday is over – forget it, let it go: start anew, make amends, right your wrongs, look forward to the great future God has for you, and live for today… live for right now. Yes, enjoy every moment, for you are in Christ, and with him, joy is possible all of the time. God loves you and it is for his glory that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). So put your head up and run the race set before you (Hebrews 12:1), not behind you. You are God’s child! You are blessed!

Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on God
“Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on God…
He is waiting to be gracious to you.
He’s gathering strength to show mercy to you.
God takes the time to do everything right – everything.
Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones.” Isaiah 30:15-18
Ultimate strength comes from relying on and believing in God - patience for him leads to perfection in the highest. So, pray, seek, and believe, and know that God is walking ahead of you, clearing the path of perfection for you to follow.

God won't walk out on you.
1 Samuel 12:20-22The Message (MSG)
20-22 Samuel
said to them, “Don’t be fearful. It’s true that you have done something
very wrong. All the same, don’t turn your back on God.
Worship and serve him heart and soul! Don’t chase after ghost-gods.
There’s nothing to them. They can’t help you. They’re nothing but
ghost-gods! God, simply because of who he is, is not going to walk off and leave his people. God took delight in making you into his very own people.
No matter what you've done, God still loves you! How could He not love you, He created you?! He wrote every day of your life before you were ever born. Your life is not a waste, your life is not over, and your life is not meaningless. No, your life is just beginning and you have an amazing future ahead of you. So, let Him in - repent, forgive, and open your heart. God is here to stay - He will never leave you, and one you thing you can always be certain of: you can count on Him forever, to eternity and beyond!

Strength and courage
"Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." Deuteronomy 31:6, The MSG

Life is too short to let others control you, intimidate you, belittle you, or scare you. So, look up to God, ask him to help you and take over your life, then grab hold of him and don't let go. From that moment you can take a deep breath, stand strong and courageous, and never let another man/woman intimidate you again, because God, your God, has your life and your battles all under his control; He has your victories lying in wait for you.

There are Angels ahead of you.
“Now get yourselves ready. I’m sending my Angel
ahead of you to guard you in your travels, to lead you to the place that I’ve prepared.” Exodus 23:20-24
Not
only is God with us, but He has angels protecting
our paths as well, which means, when God leads, we cannot go wrong.
So, have no fear when you feel the call of God leading you in a new
direction, He’s got the path before you clear and guarded, and all you
have to do is follow it…. Now, get moving!

The handiwork of God
“For
we are God’s [own] handiwork (His
workmanship), recreated in Chris Jesus [born anew] that we may do the
good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking
paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them
[living the good life which He prearranged and made
ready for us to live].” Ephesians 2:10 AMPC
You
are the handiwork of God, you have
been hand-picked by the Creator of the universe, and you have a
predestined plan awaiting for you! Therefore, let go of all your
frustrations, anger, past mistakes, fears, and regret, and let God do
what needs to be done to get you on the right path. One
way or another, He will get you there, so make it simple on yourself
and LET HIM!
