Your Question:
How do I start over?
Answer:
Starting over can be a daunting task, but it's a journey that requires faith and commitment. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with personal burdens and habits that hold them back. The first step is to acknowledge the sin in your life and confess it. This is a crucial step in breaking free from the cycle of sin and starting anew. As I reflect on my own life, I remember when my wife Susan and I decided to start a new chapter in our marriage. We had been married for 19 years and had two beautiful children, Joshua and Rebecca. We realized that we needed to make a conscious effort to prioritize our relationship and communicate more effectively. We started by setting aside dedicated time to talk and pray together, and we committed to serving the Lord together. This was a turning point for us, and it helped us to grow closer as a couple and as individuals. When it comes to starting over, it's essential to remember that God is faithful and will help you on your journey. He calls you to Himself, and He will do it. As I like to say to my congregation, "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" (1 Th 5:24). So, don't be afraid to take the first step and ask God to prepare your heart for victory. Pray specifically, focus on your most pressing concerns, and commit yourself to serving the Lord with a grateful heart. Remember, starting over is a process, and it takes time, but with God's guidance, you can overcome any obstacle and start anew.
