How can I be forgiven for such wrong?

Question

I did something utterly immoral and unspeakable today, and I was caught red-handed doing it. As a result, I might be expelled from my university, fail my most important class, forced to switch majors due to suddenly low GPA, and forced to change my entire life plans. My family will be devastated when they find out, and I can't look myself in the face anymore. I deeply deeply regret what happened today, and I'm afraid I will not be forgiven for these sins. I am frozen on my bed, and I am numb from the pain inside. I am so ashamed of myself.

Please, if there is any one willing to help me, please pray for me and pray that I survive this. If anyone can offer advice, what should I do? I don't feel right doing things that make me feel better, because I feel as though I deserve to die. I'm contemplating killing myself, except I don't want to die with total shame on my memory. Please help me, I can't talk to anyone about this. I really need to be forgiven, I am guilt-ridden.

Answer 1

you are definetely punished already by thinking that. We all do mistakes and some of them are really bad once, but everything will pass anyway. If it is not murder or something you get in jail for, stop worrying and keep moving. The best thing for you is to think: i have to live it over, everything will pass.
Good luck

You can be forgiven for this, but you must face your demons. What is done is done, and depending on what it is as it could be a number of things You should try to explain yourself to the university or plea for pardon. Like a dead body, your mistake will eventually resurface and killing yourself would do nothing but guarentee your place in Hell. All things can be forgiven, and all things get better with time. Give it time. Think clearly and logically.

well, I hope you've learned your lesson. Rules and ethics are not just things we should expect of others, but of ourselves. Swallow the bitter pill, my friend. You've earned it.

That said... the worst is half-over; the deed is done. Dreading 'fessing up will only make it worse, and it's unavoidable, so you might as well bite the bullet and get it over with. It'll look worse the longer you delay - especially if they find out through other channels.

The road back for you will be built one brick at a time. You'll have to rebuild yourself honestly, with integrity, if you expect those you care about to again respect you.

Best of luck, my friend. You've a hard road ahead, but you can do it!

First of all, there is NO SIN that God will not forgive. If Hitler himself had, after all his evil deeds, repented of his sins and accepted Christ, he would be forgiven and live eternally with Christ in Heaven after he died.

I can tell you are devastated and very, very scared. Let me assure you, it is the worst things that I have done that have taught me, shaped me, created character in me, strengthened me, etc. Satan wants to destroy you. He wants you to hate and not forgive yourself. He wants to keep you from what Christ offers you -- forgiveness and an abundant life (see John 10:10). God, however, can use this for good, believe it or not (see Romans 8:28) and He has good plans for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). God uses painful situations to draw us to Him. Run to God -- be honest with Him, tell him what you are feeling, ask for forgiveness and then for guidance. Peace will come eventually.

I am very concerned for you. Please feel free to stay in touch. Email me at [e-mail]. I will help you as much as I can.

Jesus LOVES you, my friend. He can make this a positive turning point in your life. Satan, on the other hand, will be delighted if this destroys you.
