You may find yourself dwelling on past mistakes, wishing if you only knew what you know now then you could have done something different to change the outcome. But guess what? God isn't surprised by your mistakes. And He does not disown you or leave you because of your shortcomings. He is a God who forgives and repairs. There is hope in Him. Consider this verse:
"My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." -Psalm 73:26
Truth is, we will make mistakes. It is human nature. But don't stay stuck dwelling on what you did wrong. Learn from it. Ask for God's grace. His strength will carry you on. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Knowing that alone can give us peace.
Part of the road to healing is focusing on good things and true things. It is true that we will make mistakes, and that is okay -- accept it! It is true that God is with us. It is true that He will never leave us. It is true that He loves us and has a plan for our lives. It is true and good that He created you the way you are for a reason. Can you see yourself the way God sees you? Can you recognize the blessings and gifts He has given you?
Ask God to help you see things in a new light. Ask Him to help you move past your mistakes so you won't stay stuck in the mud. Ask Him to lead and guide you into His perfect plan -- yielding to Him every step of the way, depending on His grace and strength, listening to His infinite wisdom. When we get cocky and try doing things our own ways instead of His, that is when we fail. We need to truly humble ourselves like children, lean against Him and learn from Him. No confidence in the flesh. True confidence comes from knowing Jesus and relying on Him to meet your needs and depending on Him to strengthen you in due time. Can you trust that He will pull you through?
