Hi I am a young college student who has been a christian for 4 years. I have recently been tested in my faith from myself and outside sources. I have been failing and giving into temptation, I am looking for a way of renewing my walk with God and just trying to get on track and keep on it. I know Christ died for my sins and guilt is not of God, but I can't help but feel guilty....any thoughts?

Combat those feelings with what you know to be true. When you begin to feel guilty, say to yourself, out loud if possible, what you said in your post, that Jesus died for your sins and now there is Grace. Keep scriptures close at hand that reflect this. Reinforce the truth and the lie will have no legs to stand on.

God bless you.

When you are feeling guilty, just pray to God and tell him how you are feeling! Let him know what your thoughts are and ask him to give you a sense of peace about it and for you to forgive yourself. There are some things in life that when you run out of words, all you can do is pray for guidance and hope. I hope this helps! Great to have you here and you are in our prayers :)

This song might help too!!!

Hello lostfornow...seek and ye shall find...you've come to the right place...Jesus is right there beside you...He just needs you to reach out and allow Him to take your hand. He wants to be your best friend....won't you allow Him to be?

Praying for you.

Take care and God Bless
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.
