Carrying Guilt

I feel guilty about EVERYthing.

Sometimes I'm aware that Satan is attacking me and using guilt to steal my joy, but mostly I see everything I am not doing and have not done and wish I could change.

I especially feel guilt about my weight, my procrastination and my angry, impatient responses to my kids.

This is not the person I want to be.

I think in some cases it's as much a personality trait as anything else. Unfortunately, in our (hopefully former) circles, this trait gets exploited as one of the major control mechanisms .

Silly question: What would happen if you turned your back on the guilt and focused on what's good in your life and your walk with God?
