From the Bible

What does God have to say about fresh starts?

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.
– Isaiah 41:13

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. – Isaiah 43:19

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—
    the great locust and the young locust,
    the other locusts and the locust swarm^[a]—
my great army that I sent among you.
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
    and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
    who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed.
– Joel 2:25-26

Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” – Luke 18:27

They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer. – Psalm 78:35
