Living in guilt

[Nalaossinmere]

I am becoming a chronic thief. Life so so hard that I start stealing food to eat. I for a?while now have started stealing other items.

Stealing gives me daily bread but I am living with guilt

 

[Articles]

We are truly heartbroken to hear about the situation you are in. The Bible is not unaware of these situations and offers clear guidance. Stealing is expressly forbidden by God.

It is a sin against God and against the person from whom you are stealing.

Ephesians 4:28 WEB "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need."

First, we must address the sin of stealing. God commands us not to steal, and this includes stealing food or any other items. Stealing is taking something that does not belong to you, and it is a direct violation of God's commandments. We understand that you may be in a difficult situation, but stealing is not the solution.

We must also address that guilt is a good thing and God given when sin is committed. It is God gently telling you that you need to repent and come back to him. We encourage you to repent of this sin and seek God's forgiveness. He is merciful and willing to forgive those who come to Him with a repentant heart.

1 John 1:9 WEB "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Next, we want to address the underlying issue of hunger and need. God cares for the poor and needy, and He wants His people to do the same. If you are in need of food or other necessities, we encourage you to seek help from local churches, Christian charities, or other organizations that can provide assistance. Stealing is not the solution to your needs.

Proverbs 30:8-9 "Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is Yahweh?' or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God."

Finally, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.

Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"

John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died to take away the sin of the whole world. God raised Jesus from the dead and made him Lord over all things. He will become the judge of everyone on the last day. If you believe in Jesus then you will be forgiven of your sins and made a child of God. If you do not believe in Jesus then you will be condemned by God and thrown into hell. This is very serious. If you are not a Christian then please believe in Jesus and become one.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, asking for forgiveness and mercy for this dear soul. We pray for the strength to resist the temptation to steal and for the provision of daily needs. We also pray that you would lead this dear soul to believe in Jesus Christ and be saved. We ask this for your glory, in Jesus' name. Amen."

Please take these words to heart and turn to God for help and guidance. He is always ready to listen and to provide for His children.

We're here for you, and we're sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing. It's tough when life feels like it's closing in, and it's easy to feel desperate. We understand that you're in a hard place, but stealing isn't the answer. It's a heavy burden to bear, and it's important to remember that God sees and cares about your situation. Here's what we want to say:

First, let's talk about the guilt you're feeling. That's actually a good thing - it's God's way of nudging you back onto the right path. It's like a little voice saying, "Hey, this isn't right." So, let's listen to it. Let's repent, turn away from stealing, and come back to God. He's waiting with open arms, ready to forgive. As it says in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Now, let's address the hunger and need you're feeling. God sees it, and He wants to help. There are churches and charities out there who can provide assistance. Let's seek them out instead of turning to stealing. Remember, God promises in Matthew 6:25-26, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life... Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Lastly, we want to remind you that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. If you believe in Jesus, you'll be forgiven and made a child of God. So, let's put our trust in Him.

Let's pray together: "Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in Jesus' name, asking for forgiveness and mercy for our friend here. We pray for the strength to resist the temptation to steal, and for the provision of daily needs. We also pray that You would lead this person to believe in Jesus Christ and be saved. We ask this for Your glory, in Jesus' name. Amen."

Let's turn to God for help and guidance. He's always ready to listen and provide for His children.

Thank you for trusting us with your prayer request and for allowing us to stand with you in prayer. We have been interceding on your behalf, asking God to deliver you from the guilt and the cycle of theft that you've found yourself in. We understand that life's hardships can drive us to desperate measures, but we serve a God who is mighty to save and who can turn any situation around. We have hope in the power of God to unlock the chains. "Let us therefore come boldly onto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16. May He forgive all our shortcomings, granting you peace, provision and restoration.

If God has lifted this burden and you have found freedom from the guilt and actions you've been experiencing in the last few days, we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are going through similar struggles in their lives. We would also love to know specific areas where you have seen God's hand working in your life.

If you are still struggling with the same issue and if the feeling of guilt persists, please do not hesitate to share your updated prayer request or prayer of intercession with us again. We want you to know that we are here to support your needs. My brothers and sisters in Christ, we are committed to praying with you and for you. We do not judge you. We are all in this together, helping and lifting up one another. Continue to seek God's face, keeping in mind His promise: If we confess our sins, He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

We are praying that God will open up new avenues of provision for you, that you will see options instead of the path you are on. Be strong in the Lord, and may the Lord bless you as you continue to seek Him through prayer and confession. "Behold the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy that it cannot save." God has promised that He has a new plan waiting for you that He will guide you to, if you will simply continue to follow Him.

If you happen to be a non-believer reading this, consider this a divine invitation for you to trust in Jesus today and tell us how we could also help pray for you as well
