Forgetting those things which are behind. . . .(Philippians 3:13) Holy Spirit, my counselor, I come to You to ask that You help me overcome the memory of failures I cannot forget and successes I fear I cannot top. Thank You for enabling me to take my “yesterdays” to the cross. You remind me of all that Christ has done for me. That’s Your assignment and I’m grateful. Now in this time of honest confession, lead me to a deeper understanding of the real cause of my repetitive behavior that results in guilt. Shine Your light into the hidden corridors of my mind. You want to set me free of the sorrows, injuries, losses, and mistakes of all my yesterdays. At the same time, expose the false confidence in the successes of the past, which are crippling my expectancy. Help me succeed my old self and break old records of achievement. Free me to expect great power from You and attempt great things as a disciple of Christ. Your plan is to fashion me in Christlikeness. The thought of that takes my breath away. Good thing; now I can ask You to breathe into me the breath of Your power. You work in me to help me to participate in the wondrous activity of the Trinity. You enable me to share the Son’s communion with the Father; You bring me into union with the Son; You make me a part of the glory circle. The Father glorifies the Son, the Son glorifies You, and You give me words to praise Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Hallelujah! Amen!
