When we experience trauma, the thoughts keep rolling over and over in our minds. At some point we need to move forward; we need to have new thoughts. The trauma may have been our fault and we cannot forgive ourselves. But, God is always faithful to forgive us when we repent. And, repent means going in a new direction, never to return.

“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.”

Isaiah 43:18,19,25 NKJV
