How To Forgive Yourself

Forgiving others is hard, but self-forgiveness can be even harder. 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 to see what can change when you choose to forgive yourself.

Do you need to forgive yourself for something? What kind of guilt have you been carrying?

[bellalosey]

It’s harder to forgive yourself because you know that you knew better but did it anyway.

Why did not i find this channel earlier? I am not a Christian but after watching this video, I really healed. I thank you from bottom of my heart.

[hamblins]

Just did something I regret, asked God to speak to me, then I saw this. I've never even heard of you. Lol! Thank you!

I just want you all to know that I have come to Christ and left Sikhism. Christian pastors have really truly helped me with my mental health. Jesus Christ and The Holy Bible have saved me. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Forgiveness is a process. I have found that absolving myself of wants and desires is something that means forgiveness is not always necessary. When we do something regrettable or something we are ashamed of we find ourselves in a position where we desire to put things right or the desire to go back in time and change our actions. Being aware of these desires and wants is crucial. Forgiveness means that these wants and desires go away, but the important thing is that we absolve ourselves of these wants and desires. Forgiveness is like a short cut to this. Work on wants and desires and forgiveness becomes something that is not necessary for moving forward. I have done things in my life that I don’t think I deserve forgiveness for but I make sure that I am aware of my desire to change the past or the desire to undo the actions and deeds of the past.

Thank God for this message!!! The struggle has been real especially when those you hurt don't seem to want to forgive you.

We all struggle with something in life. Some are big some are small. But just remember your not alone. God is always there. 24/7 hotline for you to talk with him about anything. There's one person who will never leave you or forsake you and that's Jesus Christ himself. Lean on him and trust him in all our ways!

For most of my adult life I struggled with addiction and by the grace of God I found that obsession lifted and ended up 5yrs sober. I had shoulder surgery in September 2020 and lost it all, ended up back addicted to opiates and lost everything in 5mths what took 5yrs to gain. I'm lost broken and ashamed, guilt ridden and a shell of emptiness. I need Christ more now than ever I pray I find the light again sooner than later, I often contemplate suicide and that's not me I have young children Idk I just hope and pray things improve and i can forgive myself

[kadabiaiya]

This is very timely. I am struggling to accept God's grace.
