Philippians 3What do you do when you find yourself regretful about a situation that you can't change? How do you move forward? Like you had the opportunity to address it years ago, but you maybe never took your thought or feelings about a situation seriously enough to make changes about the situation. Years later you find yourself regretful about the way things have turned out. What do you do?
It's not a matter of sin to be repented of, but I will try to do what I can to move forward. I am in the middle of the situation and it's not easy to get out of it. But I will do what I can. Thanks.
Often times, unfortunately too often, I do not have to wait years to know that I have done or said something that I regret. If the person is still available to me I apologize. Later and if the person is not available to me, I ask God to cause something good to happen as a result of my inappropriate actions and to bless the person that I have harmed. I then ask myself why I did what I did so that I can learn not to do it in the future, then fully understanding what I did, I ask God to forgive me. Then I look for an opportunity in the future to quietly do something to bless the person I have harmed or to bless someone else.What do you do when you find yourself regretful about a situation that you can't change?

Your opening post said the situation was years ago, now it is current!
Depending on what the situation is one still has to be open and honest. Admitting to your boss you've screwed up in such and such a situation.
Apologising to anyone you have embarrassed or you've made a fool of yourself in front of.
Accept that you will be very venerable doing this, but you have to act to sort out what ever it is you regret, even if that means burrying your unrequited love for someone else.
You have to let the situation go.
If I’ve done what I can to assist or provide a remedy that’s enough. The absence of change doesn’t minimize my contribution and my conscience is clear. I can’t help everyone or resolve every problem. My effort isn’t unnoticed by the One who matters most. He sees my heart.
Yours in His Service,

Accept your fate and bear it. There is not much you can do about it. What's done cannot be undone. Sounds like my life. You are right, its not easy to get out of even if you want to.

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
