5 Next Steps To Overcoming Tough TimesEsimerkki

Step 3: Let Go of What Didn’t Happen and Embrace What Can Happen

We’ve all had those times in our lives when we were expecting something to happen and it didn’t, only to leave us disappointed and even hopeless at times.

You thought the relationship would work out and it didn’t.

You thought you were next in line for the promotion, and to your surprise, it went to someone else. 

You put your trust in someone and they let you down. 

You thought a door of opportunity was opening for you, and then all of a sudden, for reasons out of your control, it slammed shut.  

When a door closes, quit standing there looking at it. This is not the end of the world, no matter how you feel about it. How you respond is the key to overcoming this moment. You have to learn to let go of what didn’t happen so you can get ready to experience what can happen. 

Today, decide to let go of the past so that you can begin to embrace the new thing that God has in store for you. Don’t spend anymore time re-living or rehearsing the thing that happened in your past. You can’t fix it or change it. The best thing to do is let it go.
