Spiritual Life

Question:



So I seem to be doing really well spiritually, but these last few weeks have been very challenging. I keep getting down on myself, and just last night I was having a really hard time with being around myself. I know that seems kind of strange, but it was just hard; because I kept thinking about the past times. I had a lot of negative thoughts going on in my head and flashbacks. I kept trying to think positve, but everything that I thought about was just so negative. I then began to try to think of confessions that I know from the Bible to encourage me and lift me up from this unpositive day. I still feel the same just down on myself, and I realize that I need to just to focuse on God, and know that I am His child. He loves me even when I mess up. I have a lot of repenting to do, and just some of the choices I have made over the last month have not been the best. Are there any confessions that you can share with me that will lift my spirit and just encourage? I messed up really badly this weekend. I don't want to to say what happened, but I just feel as God won't forgive me. I know He will, but it's just hard to deal with things. I don't know what I need, but maybe some confessions on forgiveness and God's grace might help.




Answer:




You know that living the Christian life is not an easy thing to do. There are going to be times where we mess up. All we can do is lift them up to God in prayer. You have already been forgiven for your sins. Romans 8:1 says that you stand uncondemned in His sight. What you need to focus on is the fellowship with Him. You stand forgiven before Him, but it is possible to sever the close fellowship with Him. Just confess what you know to have done wrong to Him and ask Him to reveal what you have forgotten. After that, there is nothing for you to do. Just move on in faith knowing that your fellowship has been restored.
John 6:37- All that the Father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
