This prayer has been especially helpful to me and I wanted to share it with you guys:
Lord, I ask you to give me a new awareness of the awesome plans you have for my life. Help me to stop dwelling on the past, and to let go of all regret, sorrow, and bitterness. Fill my life with new purpose and meaning, and use me to make a difference in people's lives for Your glory. Thank You for a new beginning and a fresh start
There are many of us that have been drug thru the dirt, treated like trash, used and abused. However, when that person comes into our life that gives us everything we want and need, dont be tempted to make that person pay for all the horrible things that have happened to us. Dont treat that person as if they were the purpetrator of those things that scarred us.. And if you do have rough times, and decide to stay with that person - you have to forgive and forget - God demands it. How can we expect God to forgive our transgressions if we dont forgive others for theirs. Also, we can't rehash and rehash something we have agreed to forgive. A little catch phrase i heard says it all "Let go and let God".

Hes referrin to the verse where xrist tells a disciple he must forgive 7*70Xs if the trespasser asks for it. Here is the verse... Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Big brother you lost me on that 7x77 thing... can you please explain?
