I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory

I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory of which would do us harm, or rather that He will enable us to remember only so much of them as will be for our good, and we, ourselves, not emotionally overwhelmed.

Give God the chance and He will make you forget all that it would be harmful to remember.
