June 7 - Few of us are entirely free from a sense of guilt. We may feel
guilty for things we've said or done - of things we've left unsaid or
undone. We're so used to that gnawing guilt that even when we're
accused falsely we still feel guilty. When I'm troubled by naggings of
guilt, obviously I can't put into my day all the energy I'm capable of.
So I must rid myself of guilt - not by pushing it aside or ignoring it,
but by identifying it and correcting the cause.
Have I finally begun to learn to "Keep It Simple?"
Today I Pray - Since guilt is such a familiar feeling for a compulsive
gambler, may I learn to understand when my feelings are simply natural
regret at what has happened and when I am taking on a pose of perpetual
guilt. I count on God to help me sort out and get rid of these twinges
and pangs of guilt, which need to be recognized and unloaded.
Today I Will Remember - The verdict of guilty is not for life.
