how to minimize painful regret in 5 minutes

I am dying to talk with you about how to minimize painful regret in 5 minutes. Do you have unresolved regrets? If the answer is yes this post is for you!

I am dying to talk with you about how to minimize painful regret in 5 minutes. I know, the possibility sounds too good to be true. But that’s only because all too often we see problems as roadblocks rather than pathways to a better place. Sometimes we discern struggles as punishment in lieu of prophetic progression. This perception leads to perceiving every unwelcomed predicament as…

           Psalm 88:3 | For my soul is full of troubles,            & my life draws near to Sheol.

to Sheol, לִשְׁא֥וֹל (liš·’ō·wl) Strong's Hebrew 7585: Underworld (place to which people descend at death)

Charles John Ellicott, Christian Theologian [1819–1905] | Ps 88:3

     Grave—Sheol. Here there comes into prominence the      thought that death severs the covenant relation with GOD,      & so presents an irresistible reason why      prayer should be heard now before it is too late.***

     [as in Psalm 6:4-5; Psalm 33:19; Isaiah 38:10-11]

     GOD is real, & HIS kindness is extended to those who humbly      accept HIS forgiveness. But this require conviction of sins.      The proud refuse to recognize fault of their own making,      which is to their ultimate demise & the painful realization they      will awaken to on the Day of Judgment, per Daniel 12:2.

Psalm 6:4-5 | Turn, O LORD, & deliver my soul; save me because of YOUR loving devotion. For there is no mention of YOU in death; who can praise YOU from Sheol?

Psalm 33:19 | to deliver them from death & keep them alive in famine.

Isaiah 38:10-11 | I said, “In the prime of my life I must go through the gates of Sheol & be deprived of the remainder of my years.” I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

Pulpit Commentary by Donald Spence Jones [1836-1917] | Ps 88:3

     For my soul is full of troubles [see Job 10:15].

           Job 10:15 | If I am guilty, woe to me!            And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head.            I am full of shame & aware of my affliction.

     And my life draws nigh unto the grave;      literally, unto Sheol - the place of departed spirits [comp.      Job 10:21-22].

           Job 10:21-22 | before I go—never to return—to a            land of darkness & gloom, to a land of utter darkness,            of deep shadow & disorder, where even            the light is like darkness.”

Matthew Henry, Nonconformist Minister [1662-1714] | Ps 88:1-9

          Psalm 88:1-9 | A Song: A Psalm of the sons of Korah.           For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth.           A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.

          O LORD, the GOD of my salvation,           day & night I cry out before YOU.

          May my prayer come before YOU;           incline YOUR ear to my cry.

          For my soul is full of troubles, &           my life draws near to Sheol.

          I am counted among those descending to the Pit.           I am like a man without strength.

          I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie           in the grave, whom YOU remember no more,           who are cut off from YOUR care.

          YOU have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest           of the depths. YOUR wrath weighs heavily upon me;           all YOUR waves have submerged me.

          Selah YOU have removed my friends from me;           YOU have made me repulsive to them;           I am confined & cannot escape.

          My eyes grow dim with grief.           I call to YOU daily, O LORD;           I spread out my hands to YOU.

     88:1-9 The first words of the psalmist are the      only words of comfort & support in this psalm.

     Thus greatly may good men be afflicted, & such      dismal thoughts may they have about their afflictions,

     & such dark conclusion may they make about their end,      through the power of melancholy & the weakness of faith.

     He complained most of GOD's displeasure.

     Even the children of GOD's love may sometimes think      themselves children of wrath & no outward trouble can      be so hard upon them as that.

           Probably the psalmist described his            own case, yet he leads to CHRIST.

     Thus are we called to look unto JESUS, wounded &      bruised for our iniquities.

           But the wrath of GOD poured            the greatest bitterness into his cup.

     This weighed him down into darkness & the deep.

Job 17:1; Psalm 6:3; Psalm 107:18; Psalm 107:26; Psalm 116:3; Psalm 141:7; Psalm 88:14;15; Psalm 22:11-21; Psalm 69:17-21; Psalm 107:18; Job 33:22

Job 17:1 | “MY spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.

Psalm 6:3 | MY soul is deeply distressed. How long, O LORD, how long?

Psalm 107:18 | They loathed all food & drew near to the gates of death.

Psalm 107:26 | They mounted up to the heavens, then sunk to the depths; their courage melted in their anguish.

Psalm 116:3 | The ropes of death entangled me, & the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble & sorrow.

Psalm 141:7 | As when one plows & breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Psalm 88:14 | Why, O LORD, do YOU reject me? Why do YOU hide YOUR face from me?

Psalm 22:11-21 | 

Psalm 69:17-21 | Hide not YOUR face from YOUR servant, for I am in distress. Answer ME quickly! Draw near to my soul & redeem me; ransom me because of my foes. YOU know my reproach, my shame & disgrace. All my adversaries are before YOU. Insults have broken my heart, & I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one. They poisoned my food with gall & gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

Psalm 107:18 | They loathed all food & drew near to the gates of death.

Job 33:22 | He draws near to the Pit, & his life to the messengers of death.

Get Up! You can't pick up the cross laying down

Get Up! You can't pick up the cross laying down. when you're conditioning the "mind, body and spirit" remember that one must be real to be empowered to heal. In the believer's world real means having a realationship with God!

“10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,” Philippians 3:10

Nobody said that life would be easy, without struggles, or bouts of sorow. In fact, God’s Word tells us just the opposite. So, when conditioning the “mind, body and spirit” remember that one must be real to be empowered to heal. In the…

Prayer is a tool that God has given us to help us through the difficulties that this life brings. Scripture makes clear that the…
