Psalms 32:5 NLT Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

When we miss the mark, the devil wants us to feel guilty. He wants us to feel low and ashamed for what we’ve done. There may even be pastors and believers telling us how bad we should feel for a sin. But that’s not how God wants us to feel about ourselves. God wants us to receive His forgiveness that’s been made available through Jesus Christ and move on. Guilt and shame are weapons of the devil. Grace, mercy, and forgiveness are gifts of God.

Under grace, we don’t ask for forgiveness to be forgiven. God has forgiven us for every sin we’ll ever commit over 2000 years ago through Christ (Rom. 6:10). We ask for forgiveness to remove the guilt consciousness from our minds. That guilty feeling will go away when we’re transparent with God and ask for forgiveness.

So, if there are any feelings of guilt haunting you from sin, ask for and receive His forgiveness for ANYTHING you’ve done wrong.
