A Prayer to Release the Past and Embrace the Future - Your Daily Prayer - January 2

We all carry memories that pull us back—but God calls us forward. This prayer helps you release what’s behind and step confidently into the hope God has prepared for your future.

What Is Prayer?

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. We can pray while walking, driving, or working. God responds to a two word cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon, just like He does to a focused prayer time after reading Scripture in the morning. Praying doesn’t have to be complicated. God delights in any simple words we offer Him.
