This is the beginning of a new year the old one is history now.

by Dr. Anthony Murphy writer

This is the beginning of a new year the old one is history now.

We can have a brand new start and the Bible tells us how.

Forgetting those things that created all the worry and strife.

Living a blessed, forgiven, prosperous and healthy new life.

We've all had things happen that we didn't expect or appreciate.

The things that created stress and upset and we couldn't wait,

until the problem was resolved and hopefully went away.

Something that we could pray and ask God to fix it some way.

Now this is the new year and it's like opening a new book.

It will be like a fresh start and the new year is all it took.

We need to wipe away the bad memories of this last year.

and realize God wants us to live in happiness, not fear.

You can bet the enemy will want to remind you of anything bad.

He wants you to think of all the troubles and heartaches you had.

But do as the Lord commands and turn these over to Him today.

Please don't procrastinate, but rather, do it today without delay.
