Stepping out of the Past

Prayer

Lord, I release my past to you. I give You my bad memories and ask that You would heal me to complete wholeness so that they no longer hurt, torment, or control me. Bring me to the point where my past, even as recent as yesterday, will in no way negatively affect today. I give You my past failures in the area of (name any recurring problem). Set me free from this. Even though I may be unable to completely resist the pull of certain things on my own, I know You are able to set me free. Make me a testimony to the power of your healing and deliverance.

2 Corinthians 5:17 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Lord, I confess any unforgiveness in my heart for things that have happened in the past, and I release all persons who are associated with it. I specifically forgive (name of person I need to forgive). Lord, heal all misunderstandings or hurts that have happened between us. I know that I can never be free and healed if I tie myself to others by unforgiveness, so I ask you to bring to light any forgiveness in me of which I’m not even aware. Give me your revelation and show me all I need to see in order to walk out of the shadow of my past and into the light you have for me today.

Isaiah 43:18 -19

18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
