Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation...for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. — Romans 8:1 (AMPC)
Overcoming Guilt and Shame by Joyce Meyer Our imaginations and mind prepare us for action. They can prepare us for success or failure, joy or misery—the choice is up to us. If you think about the past mistakes and all the things you have done wrong, it will only weaken you. It handicaps you as you try to enter the future God has for you. No matter what you have done in the past, learn to see yourself as a new creature in Christ (see 2 Corinthians 5:17). Choose to look forward in faith, not backward in guilt or condemnation. In order to overcome shame, we can make the choice to stop thinking about our past failures. Rather than thinking about the sin, begin to praise God that you have been forgiven. See the solution, not the problem. When you do, you’ll understand the joy of being a new creation in Christ! Prayer Starter: Father, I am tired of thinking about my past mistakes and instead choose to focus more on praising You for everything You have forgiven—past, present, and future—with Your help, amen.
