Regret is a heavy burden to carry. Whether it's a word we can’t unsay, a decision we wish we could undo, or a season we wish had gone differently — we all carry something we’d rather forget. But God never intended for regret to be our resting place. In tonight’s prayer and devotional, we learn how to let go of regret and embrace the grace, healing, and freedom God offers us. Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV) reminds us: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” Let this moment of Scripture, reflection, and prayer help you release what’s behind so you can rest in what God is doing now — and look ahead with hope.
