Hey! I was just wondering how y'all deal with selfdoubt and forgiveness. For me i have trouble wondering how god can forgive us so easily, how he can forgive me but i cant forgive myself. So if you have any thoughts or verses that would be really good! God bless, Kezia

God bless, Kezia[/quote] we will probably never fully understand grace. and we will probably always beat ourselves up worse than necessary about the things we've done. why? because thats what satan wants for us to dwell on the past mistakes so that we cannot move on and grow in Christ. i just have to daily remind myself of how AWESOME our God is and that He loves soooo incredibly much. you must continually (and its hard i know) lay all your cares at His feet.

I have been dealing with this a lot lately. I just finally got out of a big ordeal with myself. There were a couple things I did. I can't say that is the right thing for you, but the most important thing was I read the Bible. And every night faithfully too. I found a few Psalms that dealt directly with how I was feeling. I was reading Psalms 25-31 I believe. Not all at the same time but which ever one fit with where I was that day. It's amazing how just filling your mind and heart with the word can make such a difference. It puts your soul at peace and then carries over to your life. I encourage you to do this. God will give you His peace because He loves you so much.
