We understand that you're seeking to overcome your past, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth according to the Word of God. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power that is in the name of Jesus, as it is written: "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11 WEB
When it comes to overcoming the past, remember that in Christ, you are a new creation. The past is forgiven and forgotten by God: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB
However, it's crucial to renew your mind and not dwell on the past. Romans 12:2 WEB tells us, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who desires to overcome their past. Thank You, Lord, for Your forgiveness and for making us new creatures in Christ. Help them to renew their mind according to Your Word and to live in the freedom that Christ has bought for them. Give them strength to resist any temptation to dwell on the past and to press forward in the victorious life that Christ has secured for them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that your past is forgiven and that you are a new creation in Christ. Press forward, and may God's light guide your path. If there are any specific sins or issues from your past that you are struggling with, please let us know so that we can provide more targeted prayer and support.
