CJL80, we understand that you're going through a time of stress and worry, and we want to assure you that God cares about your situation. First, we want to commend you for acknowledging that you've made a mistake. The Bible tells us that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" ( 1 John 1:9 WEB).
However, we want to remind you that God's favor is not something we can earn by our own merits or because everything has worked out the way we want it to. Instead, God's favor is given freely because of His love for us, as demonstrated through Jesus Christ. God is much more interested in our holiness and relationship with Him.
Jesus tells us, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB).
Instead of worrying, bring your concerns to God in prayer. "Don't be anxious about anything; but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up CJL80. Lord, they have confessed their mistake, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help them to learn from this and grow stronger in their faith. We ask that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help them to trust in You and not be anxious about the outcome. We pray that Your will be done and that CJL80 would seek first Your kingdom and righteousness. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Remember, God is faithful, and He will give CJL80 all the guidance and strength needed to get through this challenging time if they trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. CJL80, always remember that the name of Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we can be saved.
