I totally understand this. It’s so hard to let go of my past sins and mistakes. Jesus died for your sins, that means He is a God of second chances. Try and take comfort in that. And just know that whatever you did, someone else has done it too and they’ve recovered from it fine. Your past mistakes don’t define you and you are so loved by God!
Thank you so much 🥺 God bless you
@Staystrong❤ Try reading some Bible verses about forgiveness and really meditate on them! Also something that always hits is me is this quote, “What drop of Jesus blood wasn’t enough to cover your sin?” Always blows my mind and helps me feel better!
@MV01 I've tried reading scripture and listening to music and praying but for some reason I can't shake it. But that is very helpful and I thank you so much for your advice
I also think maybe it's the enemy trying to get in my head too telling me I could never be forgiven
do some shadow work. uncover what it is and why you feel this way
@Solomon I've never heard of it before but maybe I could try that. Thank you
I have struggled with this too. I feel immense guilt for past mistakes and feel like I dont deserve a future or that I will make different mistakes so why try. I am trying to realize that when Jesus said "it is finished" He really meant it. He didn't say "it is finished but lets mentally review and feel guilty for our past actions awhile first" The Bible says the enemy seeks to kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us life to the fullest!
You do deserve a future. Everyone does. I just hope that whatever mistake it is, no matter how bad it may be, it can be forgiven. You are so right Jesus already paid the price for our mistakes so that we could live life abundantly. I know for a fact I would never make that mistake again and I would never be the person I once was. You are not alone. We can all get through this 🥺
OCD causes you to overthink, over analyze and obsess a lot. Especially on bad things. It can defenitly be your OCD making it worse
Very very true. Thank you
I’m not religious but I’ve made many many bad bad choices and definitely feel as though im not worth loving or feel as though I need to share every bad thing I’ve done or I’m a liar... unfortunately and fortunately not everyone feels this way and is able to keep their mistakes to themselves the fact that you feel remorse shows you are a good person and care. Has your mistake helped shape you into a better person? Try looking at it as a devils advocate. We were all made in his image perfectly imperfect right??
As long as you want to be forgiven and ask for forgiveness, God will forgive you. God is love and he loves you. He knows you made a mistake and your recognized it. I think you should let it go and give it to God to handle for you now.
I do with all my heart. Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏻💙
I feel like that too. I feel like I need constant reassurance all the time. I feel like I drive my parents crazy. They even said that I've done nothing wrong but I feel like the worst person in the world. I feel so much remorse. I believe that it has shapped me into a better person and my views are much different but I still hate myself for it.
I’ve started reading the Bible. I’m trying to convince myself I’m not going to go to hell. I just can’t stop thinking that because of something I did I deserve to be in hell. It says if you committed a sin unknowingly that will be taken into account, but the same goes if you did it willingly. Thing is I did something horrible because of my OCD obsessions and I KNEW it was horrible and wrong. But I had reached a breaking point, the worst low of my entire life, the darkest spot I have ever been and I pray to God no one here or anywhere ever will reach it. In this I did what I did because even though I was in therapy it didn’t help and I thought “perhaps I am a sociopath” and thought the thing to do would be to carry out with it and then I would know if I was insane and the scary thing is I didn’t think I’ll turn myself in for being a sociopath I thought “I’ll just live my life this way and no one will know. Ill just get good at it and live as a nut job because it’s who I am” but flash forward I found out afterwards that isn’t true because I have been wishing every day since then that I would have just killed myself instead. And thing is idk how much of this is real or a false memory. I know if happened but I hope more than anything I’m exaggerating it due to the years of torment after. Maybe I’m holding onto false hope. Anyway do you guys think God will know that even though I did it, it was my OCD telling me I’m a monster and should just do it? Or do you think this doesn’t matter I’ll probably be sent to hell and for the non religious, do you think it doesn’t matter what God thinks I’m a horrible person?
I did something a long time ago that I didn't realize was so bad at the time until a long time later, one night I was about to go to sleep and I remembered doing that thing. It was something I did willingly but it didn't cross my mind at the time at all that what i was doing was so wrong and I didn't know it was that bad if that makes sense. I feel so terrible the guilt is eating me up. I don't know what to do. I would never ever make that same choice or mistake again but its really upsetting me... I'm a Christian and I try to pray about it I even talked to my parents about it they told me to let it go but why is it so hard to?
People can change right?? I did terrible things..even last year. Probably even this year. Which would make me my fears. But I regret them so much,I generally just want to move on and be a better person, but I feel I don't deserve to..this isn't ocd making a little bad thing bad, these things were terrible. And I know it,, everybody would know it. I just want to love myself for who I am today, not my past. I chang everyday but I generally feel so much guilt and disgust. The ocd with intrusive thoughts that I wanna do it all again. Makes me feel I still am my fears...I hate it so much. This wasn't 1 mistake or 2..or even 3. It was so so so many disgusting, horrible,shameful mistakes. I did for years and years. And I mean 11+ years.
