Last night as I was trying to go to sleep, I had this vision of someone trying to move forward, they were moving but going no where fast. I realized they were not going anywhere because there was something pulling them from behind. Instantly I thought, what’s holding me back? I’ve recognized at times I can hold on to things, whether it’s a grudge or just someone doing something bad to me, I hold on to it.

The other day right before prayer I read the scripture (Zechariah 4:6) from a devotion I receive every morning. When I got on the call as the first person starts she reads the exact scripture (Zechariah 4:6).
