Biblical Answer

It can feel like you're losing your identity with each passing day because you're not facing the choice of realizing and actualizing all the aspects of your self now or having them lie dormant forever. Your identity can be waylaid by neglect, distractions, and sinful patterns that can lead to spiritual drain. This can cause you to feel abandoned, falsely attacked, hurt, defeated, tempted, lost, and weary from the endless conversations you have with yourself and others. These feelings can be a sign that your heart is under assault, and it could be that you're losing, primarily through neglect.

The good news is that you have the power to change things you don't like in your life today. You can pray for your dreams and make life plans to accomplish your life purpose. Today is a new opportunity to do all the things you've dreamed of in the past. You can also choose to face your past pain and turn around to face down your history, so it doesn't continue to reach out and sully your future. This is the time to acknowledge the pain you've been avoiding and to turn around and face down your history.

Your new identity is a sinner saved by grace who is a brand-new creation, as 2 Corinthians 5:17 points out. The old has passed away. The new you has arrived. You were born again to a brand-new life, and in Jesus Christ, you are not defined by your past mistakes or sinful patterns. You are defined by your new identity in Christ, and this identity is not something you can lose. It is a gift from God that you can rest in and rely on, even in the midst of challenging circumstances. Your new identity is a constant reminder that you are loved, forgiven, and redeemed by God, and that you have the power to live a life that reflects God's love and character.
