Day #1
Do you sometimes think or say: "I feel guilty, I dare not pray"; "I feel guilty, I can't praise God"; "I don't deserve to be happy"; "God won't be able to accept me anymore".
Guilt is a feeling that can range from simple remorse to a constant torment which is paralyzing our lives. Some people try to punish themselves in order to be free of guilt (eating disorders, self-mutilation, risky behaviors). If you find yourself in this situation, I have good news for you: God wants to free you from guilt so you can find inner peace and be in communion with Him.
Guilt manifested for the first time in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve just sinned, and they felt their conscience accusing them. Guilt drove them to hide from God because of fear of condemnation. They felt unworthy and they felt the need to cover themselves.
It is our conscience which is accusing us when we sin. God gave it to us because without it we would not be aware that we have a problem. Although it helps our conscience, guilt ends up devouring our soul if we hold on to it. The passing of time and distractions won't change that. The only way to be free of guilt and regain joy is to confess one’s faults to God. Just as the Lord called Adam in the garden, the Lord is looking for you, drawing you to Him by His goodness so that you may repent.
The good news when you feel guilty is that Jesus died for you so you can be forgiven and found not guilty.
I invite you to pray with me :
Father, I stand before You now and acknowledge that I have sinned against You. I surrender and confess my faults to You now (tell Him what you have done). I acknowledge my guilt and I ask You to forgive me. I believe that Jesus has been judged in my place. I receive Your peace and forgiveness. Cleanse me with the blood of Jesus and give me joy. I come into Your arms of love and turn from my sins. In the name of Jesus, AMEN.
Take a few minutes of silence to let the Holy Spirit communicate His peace to you.
