Sometimes its tough to let go of things, especially before you go to bed. We need to trust in God and know that he has our best interest at heart.
Isaiah 43:18:19 (NIV) states “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Marcy gave some insightful reminders from Facebook to think about to help shut your brain off right before bed.
They include: Tomorrow is a fresh start. Mistakes are just part of learning. Today was a step forward, even if it wasn’t perfect. It’s okay to rest —- I’ve earned it.
