If Only

Most of us have said many times, “If only…” When things take a twist in our life that we do not expect, we can experience regret or maybe feel guilty by thinking, “if only I had done or said…”

If only I had prayed more, they would not have died. If only I had said something they would not have… If only I had … the accident would not have happened. If only…I would still be employed.

When things happen in our lives we need to look to God for comfort. The enemy, the devil, wants to torture us with the “what ifs”. We need to give our burdens and regrets to the Lord. We cannot change the past, but we always have the future to look forward to a new beginning.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5,6  NKJV
