To Overcome the Past, Focus on the Prize

Philippians 3:13–14

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize, for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us (NLT).

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you overcome the pain of the past, real as it still may be, as you focus on heaven’s prize. Ask him for the courage and perseverance to keep your eye on the prize—his upward call in Christ Jesus. Thank the Father that he loves you win, lose, or tie.

Action: Agree together that when setbacks occur, you will say to each other, “Forget yesterday’s loss. Let’s focus on today’s opportunity, because of tomorrow’s prize.” (For discussion questions, see page 253 in Appendix A.)
