Philippians 3:13 NKJV Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
Some people have gone through some traumatic events. There are people who’ve been abandoned by their parents, sexually assaulted, manipulated, abused, and mistreated. Society tells us to relive it and reherse it to work through it, however God’s word says opposite. God’s word tells us to forget about it.
He’s not insensitive towards what we’ve been through, but staying there mentally won’t help us. Philippians 3:13 instructs us to forget about these things. I Peter 5:7 says to give those cares to Him. This let’s us know we shouldn’t be trying to figure out why it happened.
It’s not easy to forget about these traumatic events, but it’s possible. Each time our minds wants to go back to that dark time, we must snap out of it. We must literally tell ourselves, “No, I have given that to God” and move on. We may have to do this 20 times a day, but the Holy Spirit will help.
Let’s depend on God to help us to forget about it.
