Your Question:

can i really start over when i've lost everything?

Answer:

The question of whether you can really start over when you've lost everything is a tough one. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. The Bible reminds us that we can't undo our past, but we can learn from it and use it as a stepping stone for growth. It's like the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, where they had to confront their past mistakes and move forward in faith.

It's easy to get stuck in the past and let it define us, but that's not what God wants for us. He wants us to take our past experiences, including our failures and weaknesses, and use them to become stronger and wiser. As the Bible says, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) This means that God is always working to help us overcome our struggles and move forward.

So, can you really start over when you've lost everything? The answer is yes, but it requires a willingness to confront your past, learn from it, and trust in God's plan for your life. It's not easy, but it's possible. As I always tell my congregation, "You can't undo your past, but you can use it to become a better version of yourself." With God's help, you can start anew and move forward with hope and confidence.
