Anxiety Quotes

“Is it possible to worry about our past? For sure. It’s called regret. Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote, “The past cannot be recalled and you can do nothing about it. You can sit down and be miserable and you can go round and round in circles of regret for the rest of your life but it will make no difference to what you have done. . . . We must never for a second worry about anything that cannot be affected or changed by us. It is a waste of energy.”1 Sometimes we waste a lot of time and energy worrying about our past failures. But if we have repented and sought forgiveness from God—and from other people, where possible (see Rom. 12:18)—we need to be actively “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead” (Phil. 3:13).”
