As We Process the Pain of Our Yesterdays


Thanks to Joyce Hundley in Virginia for this wonderful short devotional from Prov. 31 Ministries! 
 
As we process the pain of our yesterdays and live through the disappointments of our todays, doubts may still creep up, threatening to steal our hope.  But each time that happens, we can stop and seek God in that place.  We can ask Him to show us His purpose by revealing  what is true about who we are and what we have been through to make us start doubting.

Then we can ask Him to help us re-define our future, not through the filter of our past and pain, but through the power of His life-giving truth.  And do you know what happens when we do that moment by moment, day by day, doubt by doubt?  God tells us in Jeremiah 29:14, "I will be found in you...and will bring you back from captivity."  (Prov. 31 Ministries)
