Title: Dealing with Guilt (4 of 5)
Series: Dealing with...
Text: Psalm 38:1-18
Author: Dr David Davis
One of the deepest needs in our world today is to find a way to deal with guilt.
I recently read an article where a psychiatrist stated, "The majority of people who are in our mental institutions are there because they could never find a solution to their guilt."
Guilt is a terrible thing. It causes such a terrible self-image. You might have heard someone say, "I'm my own worst enemy."
All a psychiatrist or psychologist can do to help you with your guilt is to deal with your feelings. But they cannot help you deal with the guilt.
You see - you may burn your hand with fire and it will hurt. Your sensory nerves send a message to your brain that there is pain - but it is the burn - not your pain that is the problem. The pain is simply a manifestation of the burn itself.
When you deal with guilt - you must deal with the reason you feel guilty. You solve the reason of your guilt - the feeling will go away.
You treat the burn - the pain will go away.
Listen to the prayer of a man who has guilt. Psalm 38:1-18
Psalms 38:1-18 - "(A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.) O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. (2) For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. (3) There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. (4) For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. (5) My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. (6) I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. (7) For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. (8) I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. (9) Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. (10) My heart pa ...
