Why Can’t I Forgive Myself? - The Grudge

Forgiving others is hard, but forgiving yourself can be even more difficult. When guilt and regret fill your past, believing in your future seems impossible. But God wants you to step out of the shame that holds you back and into the freedom He has for you. Join Pastor Craig Groeschel for the final message from our series, The Grudge, and see how much your future can change when you choose to forgive yourself.

As far as the east to the west, i pray the lord really helps heal your soul so you can fully release the guilt and fear and anxiety! Take every thought captive! Study the battle in your mind itll help you deal with this lingering feeling of something bad coming your way! Its the devil trying to prevent you from living your life in freedom with the lord 💜🙏

    This video SAVED MY LIFE a year ago. I was on the verge of death, not only spiritual, but a worldly death just like Judas. Just recently, the devil has been and still is attacking me on a day to day basis. It made me run from God, it’s ruined my work and home life, and it’s eating me up so badly that the only way I think I can escape is through death/suicide. I’m in DESPERATION for help from above because the evil one is still attacking me, and he’s twisting scripture on me and I’m also fearful of some of the truths of scripture. I found great joy and love for God in the beginning and fell away from him because I got upset because things weren’t going my way, and ever since, my life has been nothing but fear and torment. Will you guys please pray for me that I can and will return to Jesus just like the story of the prodigal son, and that my fears and deception will flee in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m so scared, I know I shouldn’t be, for the spirit of the lord doesn’t give us the spirit of fear. I need help you guys PLEASE pray for me that I can not only accept God’s forgiveness but that I can also forgive myself. Thank you so much for doing God’s will because like I said earlier, this video SAVED MY LIFE and I know that Jesus led me to you, will you please pray that he delivers me from the evil one so I can go back home to my father in heaven and live in freedom again. I love you guys oh so much and can’t thank you enough for living and serving in his will thank you sooooo much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I'm in the same boat mate. Horribly filled with so much guilt and shame for generally being an asshole to so many good people. Acting out my past trauma on people that don't deserve it. Drowning my sorrows with enough alcohol and drugs to take down a small army, which then leads to more bad decisions that eventually result in more layers of guilt and self loathing. I hope in some way, my deep regrets make you feel even 1% more comfortable with yourself. The world keeps turning. I tell myself that my guilt and pain is at least a sign that there is good in me somewhere.

    This helped me SO much! I have not forgiven myself of something in my past for over 40 years now. The enemy was whispering lies to me saying "nobody is as BAD as you" and my guilt kept me from having a close relationship with Him. I went to confession when I was in the Orthodox church several times, and kept on confessing it over and over. I joined that church because I thought confession, sacraments, works, enough prayers to the saints could release me from my guilt. But it did not. After ten years, it was still there. I carried this guilt and shame with me into my marriage and never could accept love from my husband, thinking I always "owed" him something for him being kind to me. After listening to sermons like this over and over and "getting them into my inner spirit" I am beginning to be free. Thank you so much, and I think I will listen to this every day until it also sinks in.

    I needed to hear this.. for the past year I have been having an affair with a man who is my best friend. My husband had ended the marriage months before finding out. My husband had left to another state for work and we had ended things. When he came to visit for a couple days he found out what I did. I am so ashamed I have been thinking such bad thoughts and can’t eat or sleep I wish I never existed at one point. I feel like I need to die and be in pain forever to repent but that’s not true I need to ask for forgiveness and forgive myself. I acknowledge my sin and I will repent daily till I am forgiven. This isn’t something that is easy to speak about but I feel that I need to share this so I will bring awareness to people who are suffering from so much guilt and shame. Now I finally understand the difference and will work to forgive myself every day.. I will be a better person and will never do what I have done to anybody ever again. That pain is terrible and I am afraid that god will not forgive me and neither will he. My excuses do not matter I have sinned and cannot change my past but god will change my future

    God can change your future and your present. You've sinned and there's no making light of that, but you asked for forgiveness and scripture talks about how God forgives. You are not charged with iniquity - He removes our sins as far as the east is from the west. He is not holding your sin against you. It's a daily choice to walk in that freedom. Where the rubber meets the road is how you work on yourself to not fall into temptation. Lifting you up in prayer as you learn to forgive yourself and put up the right boundaries and work on restoration in your relationships!

    Ask God for help and a genuine change in your actions and inspiration for it and then do it knowing He will help. Do it- practice it and celebrate little wins and dont go to shame when you fail. Little by little it will happen and go to counseling also (roots of trauma and early abuse could lead to this).

    I hope that you're doing better today but if you aren't I pray God gives you peace. Just know today always brings new opportunity to change and tomorrow will bring another one! Just know that change is hard, especially because taking action is harder. But I truly believe that with God's help anything is possible. I believe in you and more importantly, God believed in you even more!

    Ohh man. Did that hit home. Forgiving and letting it go, even though you cannot forget. Forgiving yourself. Forgiving others. It’s a special tool that fixes many things, and I just realized I don’t have that tool. So much pain in feeling that I’m a horrible person. So much pain I’ve given judging others instead of letting it go. I’m sorry for both.

    Amen for this incredible pastor. This is perhaps the most valuable sermon on forgiving oneself I’ve ever come across. From 20:32 onward applies to me. The internal suffering I’ve been subjective myself to is unlike any pain I’ve ever felt. Self-inflected mentally, forgiven by God but not by my self. I’m not entirely there yet but I am trying. And praying. Please God, provide me the strength to “let it go.” Prayers to others that are struggling.
