Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland (Isaiah 43:18-19; NIV).
I’m letting my mother go, at last,
Leaving the trauma of my past
Behind.
You are my fortress, sword and shield;
Jesus, God’s Word: you have revealed
The way.
Both of us, Lord, are in your hand;
Everything happened as you planned –
For good.
Jesus, forgive us both, I pray;
Heal us, and keep us safe each day
With you.
I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11; NLT).
We know that God makes everything work together for the good of those who love God and have been called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28; TIB).
