Biblical Answer

Can I Really Start Over?

When we think about starting over, it's natural to feel uncertain about our ability to do so. Perhaps we've faced setbacks, failures, or even depression, which have left us feeling defeated and unsure if we can begin anew. However, the Bible encourages us to take small steps towards faith and engagement in our struggles. In Job 38:42, we see God asking Job, "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?" This passage reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that God is actively working in our lives. When we feel stuck, it's essential to take small steps towards faith, even if it's just reading a book or talking with a wise friend.

Starting over requires us to be honest with ourselves and those around us. We must acknowledge our struggles and be willing to take small steps towards faith and engagement in our lives. This may involve seeking help from a physician or a wise friend if we're struggling with depression. The key is to take small steps and not be too hard on ourselves when we make mistakes. As we face our struggles, we begin to see that we are not alone, and God is working in our lives. This realization can be a powerful catalyst for starting over and making progress towards our goals.

Ultimately, starting over is not about being perfect; it's about being willing to take small steps towards faith and engagement in our lives. It's about being honest with ourselves and those around us, and seeking help when we need it. When we do this, we begin to see that we are capable of starting over, even in the midst of our struggles. We can begin to experience faith and see that God is actively working in our lives. By taking small steps towards faith, we can start to overcome our roadblocks and begin to make progress towards our goals. As we do this, we can start to see that we are not alone, and that God is with us every step of the way.
