It's never too late for God to start something new in you.
What does “New Beginnings” walk through?
A New Thing
Isaiah 43:19 · KJV
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
In plain English
Watch — I'm doing something new. It's already starting. I'll make a path through wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Watch For It
God is already doing something new. Don't be so stuck on the old that you miss it.
All Things New
2 Corinthians 5:17 · KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
In plain English
If you're in Christ, you're a new creation. The old is done. Everything's new.
The Past Doesn't Define You
In Christ, the old has gone. You get to begin again.
Pray
Lord, do a new thing in me. I'm ready for a fresh start. Amen.

Which passages does this journey use?
2 passages, drawn from Isaiah 43:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Every verse appears here in the King James text with a plain-English line beside it, so you can read it without a commentary open. Allow about 5 minutes for the whole thing, or 5 short sittings.
- Isaiah 43:19
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
Read any of these in full on the complete KJV, or look the wording up independently at Blue Letter Bible.
