A question that has plagued my mind, and possibly yours is "How do I create a new start?" The short of it is...We CAN'T, but don't be discouraged! God can and does create a new start for us every time we come to Him. I do believe that repenting can be a part of it, but I also believe that ANY time we come to Him, with praise, prayer, etc, we are in fact connecting with "A New Start..." once we go back to the world. So many times I've written out diet plans, budgets, reading and studying times with the hopes of "starting new" only to find them falling by the wayside-like so many New Year resolutions, sad but true. And yet every time, every time I go to God in prayer I leave "new, renewed, and feeling new" this includes times when I have cried my eyes out searching for answers, those times when it feels like my prayers are hitting the ceiling, you name it, but every time, every single time that I get up from prayer I am for lack of better words, "new" I have connected, or reconnected with God my Father, my creator and sustainer. If you desire a new start, might I strongly recommend you going to the only one who can and will give it to you. A final thought, if you are like me (again) then you wonder too "What do I do after I have gone to Him?", "What I am supposed to do after I have this life changing rearranging new start?" That's the easiest answer ever...Whatever you know you are supposed to do. Vaguely specific. It will be different for everyone, and yet the same for everyone. Should you clean? call a friend? talk to your spouse? write down what's on your mind? what you prayed about? Yes to anything and everything that you believe you should. Prayer will put power and perspective back in your life. So you want a new start, you know where to start, you know whom to go to, go. Blessings.
Jesus replied, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22 37-40
