Sometimes a fresh start is what we need. After going through something traumatic people normally take a look at their lives and hit the restart button. Prayers for new beginnings can be just as helpful when you are about to start an adventure. When you are troubled or oppressed in any situation in life it is necessary to begin again.
There are a lot of fearful thoughts that can enter your heart. There are people who just find it easier to stay put rather than rock the boat even though they may be very unhappy. The beginning of a new chapter may appear daunting since we may not know exactly what lies in our future.
The Lord wants us to have no fear. 2 Corinthians 5:17 speaks of how being in Christ makes you a new creature and admonishes you to let go of the past. Our pasts are sometimes filled with self-loathing/doubts, judgments, and regrets. This is why God wants to help us move on.
God took Abraham unto new beginnings and he was never the same. After Job went through his trial time his new beginning was a great one. His latter glory was even more abundant and beautiful than his former one.
Do not be afraid to take a new step and direction. With God on your side, you will have the strength to begin, carry out and complete any new adventure you set your mind to.

A new beginning is a new challenge. Imagine being at the foot of a very tall mountain. You might want to give up even without trying. God wants to tell you that he won’t let you fall. It may be difficult but as sons and daughters of God, we can do anything.
Do not be afraid, be strong and courageous and the Lord will fight your battles for you. It is this conviction in grace and love that keeps us going on despite many challenges in life.
