What an insight! My garden has been weeded many, many times throughout the last several years, however, I believe I have done light weeding, and the "root" of my problem has only grown bigger and stronger. I need to slowly work at this weed -- to attack the root.

Even though I have been divorced for many years, the guilt and shame of my wanting the divorce has been haunting me. I've cried out to God for forgiveness, and I know he's forgiven me. It has been difficult to feel forgiven because I am dealing with the consequences of my sinful choice -- the rebellion/hurt of my kids when they were teenagers. But, God has turned my daughter's pain into a blessing. She is a strong Christian young woman now -- with a faith that can move mountains. God can use all circumstances for His good, and he did.

I've allowed Satan to continually punish me for a sin that God has already forgiven. I know I'm a completely different person, and have fully repented. But Satan knows my weaknesses, and he continues to pursue me.

Thank you Jesus for forgiving me. I have Faith you can heal me. I will pray and ask for your healing hand, and appreciate others prayers.

Hi Lynn.....I hear you. When satan starts telling you things to make you fel guilty just tell him you are not going to listen to him. Just say to yourself " God loves me and has forgiven me and I forgive myyself". It really does work.....you may have to do it for a while but eventually satan gets tired of not winning . I also ask Jesus to overcome the things I have to weed out. Mine is trusting and being positive. I'm getting better. Thank God I am not where I used to be . God bless!!!
I will keep you in my prayers. Karen
