Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: What to Do with Regret
When you’re navigating life’s challenges, you don’t need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points.
Each week during our six-week series, Truth with Handles, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life.
Today's topic: What to Do with Regret. Have you ever asked, “If only I could go back and do things over again”? Does a past mistake, word, or action keep you up at night? Are you haunted by past sin? If you are nodding your head “yes,” you are not alone. But did you know that there’s a benefit to your regret and that God can use it? If you’re tired of living in the past and ready to move forward, this episode is for you!
Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
Isaiah 43:18-19: Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
Genesis 19:26: But Lot’s wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Luke 17:32: Remember Lot’s wife.
Philippians 3:13-14: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
What do you need to forgive yourself for? What regret has you stuck in the past? What do you continue to look back at?
REPENT! (If you missed the episode on how to make a good confession, go back and listen.)
