A Prayer About Guilt

A prayer about Guilt

When I need to be free from guilt

Dear God,

I have confessed my sin to you, but I still feel guilty. I know the problem is with me. But I cannot atone for my sin by feeling guilty and miserable. Part of receiving your forgiveness is trusting that I really am cleansed of my sins. Let me not only believe this but act on it, responding to your grace in every aspect of my life. Your love breaks the power of sin so that I am free to worship you gratefully, make costly sacrifices willingly, serve humbly, and express my faith boldly. Even though my feelings condemn me, I know I am forgiven. Lord, please let my faith in you overcome my feelings of guilt so I can walk in the freedom of being cleansed from every wrong.

Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. 1 John 3:20
