2 Corinthians 7:10 says, “For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.”

Godly sorrow says:• “That wasn’t aligned.” • “I see what I did.” • “I want to change.” • “Lord, help me.” It is honest. It is humble. But it is hopeful. It pulls you toward God. Godly sorrow says: “I messed up.” Shame says: “I am a mess.” See the difference?

What Shame Feels Like Shame says: • “You always do this.” • “You’ll never change.” • “Why even try?” • “You might as well quit.”

Father, forgive me, I have partnered with shame and spoke harsh words over myself. I have exaggerated my failures and made my life about me. Help me to get over myself Jesus. Help me to have the conviction to stand in Your promises, the way You did in the wilderness Jesus. I have spoken identity statements over temporary behavior, Lord but I release this shame in Your Holy Name Lord. Teach me to receive correction without self-hatred Lord and help me to walk humbly with You leading the way. I want this season of Lent to be about You Lord and getting back to constant and continual connection with my Heavenly Father, show me how Lord. I need You in every moment of every day. Amen.

Psalm 51:17 we read; “The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.”

We can Practice Godly Sorrow:

Here’s how:

1. Name the behavior clearly.
2. Take responsibility without exaggeration.
3. Ask for help.
4. Move forward immediately.

Lord, I’ve missed the mark and I’m sorry. I take responsibility and I release the shame. Forgive me for false humility, cleanse my thinking. Strengthen my discipline. Let my sorrow produce change, not self-hatred. Thank You for Your mercy Father, I need it every day. Let me live with Holy Spirit conviction in all I do and say. I love You Lord, Amen.
