How many of us deal with heartbreaking regret over things from the past, decisions, and situations we can’t change? 

Regret relentlessly taunts us, telling us that if we had done this or hadn’t done that, we would have had a different, better outcome. But regret is not our friend. It lies to us, telling us what we should have done differently but giving us no hope or possibility of changing or correcting what happened in the past. Instead of comforting, it challenges what God assures us in Romans 8:28:

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

God comforts us in His Word, promising us He will work everything in our lives together for our good, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. Because He gives us His word on this, regret is often rooted in unbelief, revealing a lack of trust in God to do what He says He will do with all the events and experiences in our lives.

Sadly, it’s easier for many to believe regret’s accusations over God’s word. This leads some to give in to the “what ifs” in regret’s relentless banter, believing its lies about the past rather than His promises concerning the future. Many believe the enemy of our souls lies in that they messed up and missed out rather than God working it out in their lives for good. 1 Peter 5:8 explains where these accusations and fears originate: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” God wants us to let go of regrets and focus on Him.

  6. Where to start! I stayed in a 25 year abusive marriage because I thought it was my lot in life do to choices I had made..But God called me by name and said the past does not define who you are I do..the verse you quoted is the only tattoo I have as a reminder to keep my focus on God and not my past!

  10. Thank you, Debbie, for these words of wisdom and encouragement. Old satan is certainly devouring all he can. We always need to be alert.
