Listen Later

Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of regret, wondering, What if I had done more? I should have called more… I should have visited more… If so, you’re not alone. Guilt is a common part of grief, but it’s not something God wants you to carry. In this episode, we explore how to break free from the ‘what ifs’ and step into God’s peace. Through Scripture, we’ll uncover the truth about guilt, God’s sovereignty, and how to release the past into His hands.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why guilt in grief is not from God (Romans 8:1)
  • How to trust God’s sovereignty over your loved one’s life (Psalm 139:16)
  • The importance of surrendering your guilt to Jesus (Matthew 11:28)
  • How to shift your mindset from regret to truth (Philippians 4:8)
  • A prayer to help you release your ‘what ifs’ and embrace God’s peace
  • Key Takeaways:

    • Guilt that keeps you stuck is not from God—He offers grace, not condemnation.
    • God already knew the number of days your loved one had, and nothing you did or didn’t do could change that.
    • Jesus understands your grief and invites you to surrender it to Him.
    • Shifting your focus to what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy can help break the cycle of guilt.
    • Through prayer, you can release your regrets and receive God’s peace.
