Bible Verses About Starting Over
Starting over — after a failure, a loss, a relationship ending, a career change, a move — is one of the most disorienting things a person can face. Scripture is full of second acts. People who failed spectacularly and were given another beginning. These verses speak to what is possible after the ending.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
New every morning. Not new every year — every morning. Every day is a starting over.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
A way in the wilderness. The new thing springs from exactly the place that looks most barren.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The past is not the sentence. Old things have passed. The new is not a patched version — it is new.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark.
Paul wrote this from prison. Reaching forth, pressing on. The direction is forward.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
A new song — not a continuation of the old one. Something genuinely new that others will witness.
