      Yes I do need to forgive myself more often than I have allowed in the past and apply this verse “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.”
      ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

      I had shoulder surgery in September 2020 and ended up addicted to the pain pills that were prescribed and I lost myself, my family, my job and I'm so lost and broken and don't know where to begin. I did go to and complete a rehab in January 2021, I still struggle with the thoughts of using and have slipped up 2x already Idk this is the hardest thing I've ever been through.

    For most of my adult life I struggled with addiction and by the grace of God I found that obsession lifted and ended up 5yrs sober. I had shoulder surgery in September 2020 and lost it all, ended up back addicted to opiates and lost everything in 5mths what took 5yrs to gain. I'm lost broken and ashamed, guilt ridden and a shell of emptiness. I need Christ more now than ever I pray I find the light again sooner than later, I often contemplate suicide and that's not me I have young children Idk I just hope and pray things improve and i can forgive myself

      Lance, I am so sorry to hear about these struggles. We want you to know that you are not alone and there is hope for the future. I would love to pray for you this morning and send you some resources that I think could help.
      Lord, Today I pray for Lance. I pray that he continues to be a warrior when faced against his addictions. I pray that he has confidence and strength while he goes through his life. I pray for support around him to help him make the right decisions and I pray that he fights this battle of depression with your love. Amen
      There are some blog posts that our church has put out on this topic that I would like to share with you! The first is called 5 Keys to Fighting Addiction (go2.lc/fivekeys) and another is called When Life Feels Stuck Like Groundhog Day (go2.lc/stuck) . There are so many more that will appear as recommended when you go to any one of these blogs. If there’s another way we can be praying for you, please let us know!
      1 Peter 3:11 (NIV) They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
      Your battle does not define who you are, God does. Continuing to pray for you as you pursue Him. As you do, there are a few Bible Plans I believe would minister to you! The first is called Overcoming Addiction (go2.lc/overcomingaddiction). The other is called Just Breathe: Hope and Help For Those Drowning in the Pain of Addiction (go2.lc/breathe). If there’s another way we can be praying or any other resources we can give you, please let us know.

    @davidgow2505 6 місяців тому +7

    Forgiveness is a process. I have found that absolving myself of wants and desires is something that means forgiveness is not always necessary. When we do something regrettable or something we are ashamed of we find ourselves in a position where we desire to put things right or the desire to go back in time and change our actions. Being aware of these desires and wants is crucial. Forgiveness means that these wants and desires go away, but the important thing is that we absolve ourselves of these wants and desires. Forgiveness is like a short cut to this. Work on wants and desires and forgiveness becomes something that is not necessary for moving forward. I have done things in my life that I don’t think I deserve forgiveness for but I make sure that I am aware of my desire to change the past or the desire to undo the actions and deeds of the past.

    It’s true once God has given you forgiveness, He is faithful. The problem is sometimes we aren’t faithful. Jesus says feed my sheep. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, live for God today despite what happened yesterday, despite the sin you committed yesterday, be renewed to Christ again today.

    • @life.church

Dear Jesus, please help our hearts to focus on you, love you, and remain faithful to what you ask of us. You are good and you deserve all of our worship including a life that is pleasing to you. Amen.

    Thank you so much for this message. I went through the most difficult time of my life because of a stupid choice I made. I was filled with so much shame and regret and was unable to forgive myself. After hearing this message, I went before the Lord and asked for forgiveness and truly repented. I now know that I am forgiven and I no longer have to hold on to the past. I have been set free. You’re ministry is a true blessing and I’m so grateful I stumbled onto this video. Thank you so much. God bless you

    Thank you so much for this. I had a word of knowledge spoken over me in church awhile back that I needed to forgive myself. The person speaking it had no idea of the anguish that had been going on in my heart. I totally broke. I have wept many, many bitter tears of repentance because I something I did against God in the past. I have struggled to forgive some who hurt me deeply and with His help I have forgiven but could not forgive myself, even though that word was spoken over me. The tears are flowing again as I listen to your message. I chose today to receive the abundant grace of God and know He has forgiven me. If He can forgive Peter, He can forgive me. The devil is a liar. Key thing you said: “anytime the enemy brings up your past, it’s because he’s intimidated by your future”! God must have a mighty incredible future/plan for me!!!

    I let someone verbally, emotionally, mentally abuse me. I let them disrespect me. I tried to stop it. They even stole from me and even though I locked my stuff up they still stole from me. I told this person to stop disrespecting me...stop blaming me for things I didn't do, but I could move out so I stayed and put up with it. I really never saw just how what they really thought of me. I have never let anyone treat me this way except for this one person. I can't forgive myself for not seeing who this person was or the red flags. I let this person destroy my peace & joy. I hate myself for it.

    Forgive, don’t forget.
    Always good to learn from your past, but it can’t define you. Each time you talk about it, it brings it back to the top, making it present and giving it life once again. Let it ride and send it down river.
    Since God can forgive you through the blood on the cross, surely you can forgive you and move on. Easier said than done, sure. Daily battle.
    God speed. We all make mistakes.

    The worst thing that can happen to a person is unable to forgive oneself... the power of Christ is stuck with such people, the fruitfulness of life is stagnant and never able to reach the height God has set for them. Moreover, unless the forgiveness of Christ fills one's life, it will never flow towards others.
