Hello,
Asking for prayer that I would be able to move past some mental and emotional struggles that I have been going through recently. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed with regret and bitterness over bad choices that I have made in my life particularly a few years ago during a season where I was being rebellious toward God. During that time, I rejected Christian faith and lived a very destructive life and allowed many toxic relationships into my life. The choices I made during that time came with negative consequences that I am still dealing with to this day though God has graciously restored my life since then and even used my bad decisions and even their consequences for good.
Maybe I am just in a very emotional state right now or just overwhelmed with life in general, but lately I've just been so, so upset with myself over those bad choices. There are so many problems that I have to deal with on a daily basis, so much stress that I would not have if I had just not done certain things or not allowed certain relationships into my life. I know that I have been forgiven for my mistakes by God. I know that those mistakes were not the end of my story, but I am so bitter over the things that I did and how I am now still suffering as a result of them. It doesn't help that I have many people around me who are constantly reminding me of my past mistakes and trying to rub them in my face.
