What Do You Do With Guilt That Causes Fear?
1. If you have sinned, confess it honestly before God (see Psalm 51:1-4). You will not have peace until you have acknowledged and confessed your transgression. Yeshua paid the penalty for your sin. Read 1 John 1:9. You can be righteous before God once you are forgiven and are committed to walk in the light!
2. If you feel guilty because of falling into temptation continually, talk to someone you trust who will pray with you. Do not try to fight the battle alone. Sexual temptations are especially hard to overcome. You need to be accountable to at least one other person who can help pray you through into healing and victory.
3. Repent! Change! Make restitution if needed. If you stole something, return it! If you have a secret habit, get rid of everything associated with it. If you are addicted to pornography, throw away the magazines and DVDs. If you are serious about getting free, have a friend put restrictions in your preference section on your Internet Browsers. Eating disorders are common today, so try to eat with others who can hold you accountable to eat wisely.
4. Face the consequences! If you are put under some disciplinary measure, accept the discipline without becoming angry or rebellious.
5. Receive Godʼs forgiveness by faith. Then forgive yourself!
