Today we\u2019re fasting from thinking: \u201cWhat might have been.\u201d <\/span><\/strong>So often we allow thoughts of regret to paralyze us from a happy and victorious present and future.\u00a0 <\/span>Today we get rid of the \u201cwoulda, shoulda, coulda\u201d mentality.\u00a0 <\/span>(I shoulda gone to college; I coulda made it, if I had the right breaks; I woulda succeeded if someone would have given me a break…\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>No more!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Forget what might have been, and look forward to what CAN BE.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span>Faith in the possibilities of God extinguishes regret.\u00a0 <\/span>Ephesians 6:16\u2014the shield of faith quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one. <\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span><\/strong> Meditate on Philippians 3:13-14<\/strong> which says, \u201c…this one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind, reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal…\u201d Notice 3 words: forgetting, reaching, pressing. Forgetting <\/strong>means: forego<\/strong> what you can\u2019t get<\/strong> back.\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t hold on to your regrets.\u00a0 <\/span>Give them to God. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Recognize God has something better for you. <\/span><\/strong>Hebrews 11:40 says, \u201cGod has something better for us.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Expect it.\u00a0 <\/span>Look forward to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Take charge of what CAN BE with your words. <\/span><\/strong>Job 22:28 says, \u201cYou shall decree a thing, and it shall be established to you…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Just Do It. <\/span><\/strong>Start doing, today,<\/em> what you should have done yesterday (provided it\u2019s godly!) It\u2019s never too late!\u00a0 <\/span>Psalm 118:24 says THIS IS THE DAY the Lord has made\u2014let us rejoice\u2014take ACTION. Daniel 11:32 says, \u201cThose who know their God will be strong and TAKE ACTION, DO EXPLOITS…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

THINK IT & SAY IT:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I give up the \u2018woulda, shoulda, coulda\u2019 mentality.\u00a0 <\/span>I will not ask \u2018what might have been.\u2019\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ll declare what is and what will be with my words.\u00a0 <\/span>I forget what lies behind and refuse to look back anymore at what I missed out on or could have had.\u00a0 <\/span>God has something better for me today, and I accept it, take action toward it, and expect the greatest days of my life, ahead\u2014in Jesus\u2019 Name.<\/span><\/p>\n
