Everything we have written about guilt.

9 guides carry this tag.


  1. Shame and guilt

    Confession and depression: when to seek help

    Confession deals with sin, but not every heaviness is guilt. If low mood, hopelessness or constant self-blame will not lift, speak to a doctor. Here is how faith and medical help fit together.

  2. Forgiveness

    Does God Forgive the Mentally Ill?

    God's forgiveness is not limited by mental illness. Scripture says He knows our frame and remembers we are dust. Here is what that means for guilt and peace.

  3. Forgiveness

    Forgiving yourself — what the Bible actually says

    The Bible never tells you to forgive yourself. It tells you something better: God is the judge, and if he has forgiven you, your task is to agree with his verdict. Here is what that looks like.

  4. Shame and guilt

    Guilt, conviction and shame: telling them apart

    Guilt is a fact, conviction is God's call to come back, and shame is the fear that you are beyond love. Learning the difference changes how you confess and how you heal.

  5. Forgiveness

    How to Forgive Yourself for Hurting Someone

    You hurt someone you love. Here is how guilt, repentance and God's mercy fit together, and what forgiving yourself actually means.

  6. Shame and guilt

    Living with a past that can't be undone

    Some things cannot be reversed: a harm done, years wasted, a person lost. God's forgiveness does not rewrite history, but it does change what your past means and what your future can be.

  7. Confessing

    Psalm 32 — the relief of confession

    Psalm 32 is David describing what silence did to him and what confession gave back. It opens with happiness, not guilt. A section-by-section reading, and what it means for you today.

  8. Shame and guilt

    Why you still feel guilty after God forgave you

    You confessed, you meant it, and the guilt is still there. That does not mean the forgiveness failed. Here is why feelings lag behind God's verdict, and what to do in the meantime.

  9. Making things right

    When the person you wronged has died

    You can no longer apologise to them, and that can leave guilt with nowhere to go. What Scripture offers when the chance to make it right with someone has passed.
