Pray the future, accept the present, forgive the past.
Now is forever. Neither the regrets of the past nor fear of the future have room in the now. Right now and now and now God loves you. In fact, since Jesus's declaration of eternal life, you have no excuse to try and rewrite the past. Even if a past event has left you without a body or emotional part, your part in the now is the same as it is for any other person who ever lived. Love.
What of the future? If God has taken care of yesterday's oops then tomorrow's abysmal failures are covered too. In fact, if you will forgive your potential failures, you love yourself now. If you accept God's release from past guilt, you love Him now.
The now is where you get those eternal hugs. Maybe even a tickle now and again.
John 15:12 Jesus speaking, "This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.”
