A Prayer to Let Go of Past Regrets and Move Forward

Dear God,
It’s so easy to stay stuck in the affairs of this world, along with our past regrets. Father, please forgive us for regrets that caused you hurt or that involve sin in our lives. Please forgive us and help us accept your forgiveness so we can shed the regret and shame that is hindering us from moving forward. Lord, show us other areas of our lives that we are stuck in so that we can let them go as well. We want to be like Paul, who was able to let go of the past, and move forward toward what you have for us. We want to partner with you and share you with others until one day, we become citizens of Heaven. Remind us to keep looking forward and to keep looking up at you when the past creeps up in our lives. We want to run the race without carrying a heavy load of past regrets. Thank you for loving us so much and forgiving us every time we fail. Thank you for chastening us and pruning us, shedding things of our past so we can uninhibitedly move forward with you. We look toward the heavenly prize for which you are calling us. We love you, Lord, and praise you for your goodness.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.
