CONTINUE in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them (2 Timothy 3:14)…
Do NOT lose heart, though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16)…

Where do you go next?
Don’t incarcerate [confine, imprison, detain, hold, lock up] yourself… by allowing what happened [in the past] to you… to control [influence, direct your behaviour/course of events] your future! This is just the beginning of developing an exciting journey of awareness, away from negativity and towards the goal of remarkable results which includes improving your prayer life daily.
