Forgiveness

[Qaz_Azaran]

I know that this board is mostly for physical healing requests, but I have some emotional healing I need to do. I am currently working on dealing with some personal issues and am having difficulty in forgiving myself for things I have done. I would very much appreciate any prayers on my behalf as I try to forgive myself. I need to let go and move on, and could really use the help. I know I can't grow spiritually without letting go. I know I'll never be able to love and forgive everything if I can't forgive myself. Please help me...

Thank you,
Adam

I understand how you feel! You'll pull though!

We're human after all... sometimes we do the wrong thing for whatever reason...

I think the key to moving on and forgiving yourself is understanding where you went wrong and learning from that... everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. People don't always do the right thing... but the thing is that some people learn from their mistakes and they can take that and apply it to their actions in the future.

You know like you can't change the past... but you can be aware of it...

And if you've hurt someone sometimes you can talk about it and you'll find that both of you went wrong somewhere. Usually that the burden isn't entirely yours to bear... even if you're convinced that it is...

Sometimes you can go for so long blaming yourself... when it wasn't just you it was many things all coming together. And then sometimes if someone is angry with you it might be easier for them not to acknowledge that... but that isn't something that you can control either.

As long as you learn from your experiences and turn them into positive things that can help you and the people around you... I think you will be okay.

This entire life is a learning experience and its not always pretty.

Best wishes!
