Will I be forgiven?

[Job405]

So I was watching this YouTube video of someone going to a CVS pharmacy drive through for a covid test and she said "Trust in the Lord" then I said "No" and "CVS", as in I made a "joke" that she trusts in CVS.

Obviously I did not mean that I don't trust in the Lord or that we shouldn't, I do and we should. And she probably trusts in the Lord as well.

Now I feel numb and distant from the Lord. Will I be forgiven?

 

[Richard T]

Absolutely, you are forgiven the moment you ask. We all would be doomed if we had to work for our salvation and could never have a bad thought or say or do something hurtful. Fortunately, we have the gift of God, His son Jesus who takes all our sins and forgives us when we confess. I pray you can rest in that assurance, that you would have a revelation of God's love and be set free from any notion of self-righteousness.

Of course you will be forgiven, I have sometimes made a silly comment that straightaway I knew was stupid and said "Sorry Lord". I do try to keep a guard on my mouth.
The fact you feel like you do now shows that you realise it was flippant, so don't worry
.
There's no need to feel distant from God, that sort of feeling is more a tactic of the enemy who likes to tell us we're too bad.

God understands, we are told that the tongue is a hard thing to bridle.
So be sorry and go forward with our wonderful merciful Lord.
He will never leave or forsake you.

 

[Kenny'sID]

Don't worry about it, that was pretty much nothing.

Sounds like you were just thinking out loud, I mean if God struck everyone down who made the slightest wrong move, there would be no one left to fill his kingdom.

Will I be forgiven

As 1john1:9 says God will forgive you if you ask.

Have you asked him?

 

[Job405]

As 1john1:9 says God will forgive you if you ask.

Have you asked him?

Yes a few times.

 

[Leet]

You're forgiven.
God deserves our reverence of course but I also believe he wants us to enjoy our sense of humour.

 

[Tolworth John]

Yes a few times.

No you ask God for forgiveness for a particular event or for a period of sinning after that all you do is thank and praise God for his grace and mercy in forgiving you.

God has the best sense of humor knows you were joking and He was laughing right with you.
