Sometimes it’s hard to believe that mercy, forgiveness, and hope speak louder than our regrets. But God’s voice always calls us forward—away from shame and into grace. This prayer is an invitation to stop looking back and start building your life on the Rock that cannot be shaken. Wherever this finds you, may it remind you that your past does not define you. God’s love does.
