Bible Verses for a New Beginning
In short
Whatever lies behind you, Scripture is full of fresh starts. In Christ you become a new creation, old things pass away, and all things are made new. God says, 'Behold, I will do a new thing.' His mercies are new every morning, so you can let go of what is past and step forward in hope.
For anyone starting over, after a failure, a loss, a change, or simply a decision to begin again, these verses promise that God specializes in new beginnings.
