Guilt is a major weapon of Satan when one tries to walk closer with the Lord. If you ask God to forgive you of your sins and you do this in sincerity then he puts them as far away "as the east is from the west".
1 Lord, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.
2 You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins.
3 You held back your fury. You kept back your blazing anger.
4 Now restore us again, O God of our salvation. Put aside your anger against us once more. (Psa 85:1-4 NLT)
Prayer: LORD, I cannot undo what I have done in the past, but I can determine what I will do in the future. I am grateful that You do not hold my past against me. Help me not hold it against myself. Give me courage to look forward with You and keep the past behind me where it belongs. In Jesus' name, Amen.
