Forgive Us For What We Have Done

Regret is something we all face at some point—words spoken too quickly, opportunities missed, actions we wish we could undo. But God doesn’t leave us in that place. His forgiveness is available, and His grace makes a way for healing. Closure begins when we bring our failures before God and ask Him to restore what is broken. Sometimes it also means making peace with others, asking for forgiveness, or releasing bitterness.

1 John 1:9 says, “But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done” (NCV). God doesn’t just forgive—He cleanses and renews.

Throw away the luggage of regret for your future. Let today be the day you settle the weight of it. Don’t carry what Jesus has already died to set you free from.
