#79 Deal With Guilt _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Research has emphasized that guilt is a major contributing factor to depression. Self-punishment by dwelling on one's guilt is not a part of God's plan for us. We need to give up our guilts to God and allow Him to fulfill His role as our Father by ministering to our hurts. Holding a grudge against ourselves for an already confessed sin is a worse sin than that for which we feel guilty. It is a rejection of Gods offer of total grace and forgiveness.
