Prayer Points For Something You Feel Guilty About

Last Updated on June 9, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be praying against something you feel guilty about. Guilt is a serious syndrome that can drive man away from God. A quick look at the story of Judas Iscariot who gave Christ to his assailants for money. He was filled with so much guilt that he ended up killing himself.

Sometimes we do somethings that would hurt us later on. We are left with a choice to either repent genuinely and overcome our guilt or we allow it destroy us. Apostle Peter committed almost the same crime as Judas Iscariot. However, he was able to overcome that guilt conscience by going to God and seek for forgiveness. The bible recorded that on the day of pentecost, Apostle Peter preached to thousands of people and they gave their life to Christ. Peter was able to do this because he overcame the guilty conscience.

Similarly in our lives, the devil tries to take us away from God by allowing us feel so guilty of the things we have done in the past. It makes us forget that the scripture stated that he that is in Christ is a new creature and old things has passed away. We still feel the dirtiness and guilt of our bad ways and slowly we become to fall apart with God because we feel we are not worthy enough. Meanwhile, the script said in the book of Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Christ is our high priest that can be touched with the feeling of our infirmity and guilt. We can boldly go to Christ Everytime we feel guilty about the things we have done in past.

How To Overcome Guilty Conscience

There are several ways to overcome guilty conscience. However, we will only highlight few that we consider very important.

Geniune Repentance

Our first step towards have a clean heart is repentance. It is possible that have a question of faith and character in our Christian Life. But that is not enough to take us away from Christ. Judas Iscariot had a problem of character. He priotised money above all other things. Apostle Peter had a question of faith, that’s why he could not stand when he was asked if he was one of Christ’s stewards.

Nevertheless, Peter was able to repent in his heart. Remember the scripture says in the book of 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. When we give our life to Christ, we have become a new creature. Things are no longer the same anymore, the things we have done in the past has passed and a new chapter has been opened. So, the first way to eliminate guilty conscience is through repentance.

Ask For Forgiveness

Sin great barrier between man and God. Once sin sets in, the next thing the devil do is to use the guilt of that sin against us. As this continues, our relationship with God will be badly affected. The only way we can mend our relationship with God in this situation is by asking God for forgiveness. Meanwhile, it is important to know that our Forgiveness doesn’t come before repentance as it is the first step towards mending our broken relationship with God.

Remember the scripture says God doesn’t want the death of a sinner but to repent through Christ Jesus. Let the devil know that you have repented and old things have passed away.
