BGEA: I have had an abortion and feel so guilty. Can God forgive me?

I have had an abortion and feel so guilty. Can God forgive me?

God wants to bring peace, forgiveness, and joy to your life—and He will if you will let Him. Anything that separates you from God, including having had an abortion, can be forgiven if you come to Him in true repentance (Ephesians 1:7, Romans 3:25, 1 John 1:7). This is done by confessing your sins to the Lord and pleading the blood of Christ with its power to remove sin and guilt from anyone who asks. There is no question about God's forgiving, but sometimes we are not willing to confess our sin and commit it to Him for forgiveness.

As we commit the actions of the past to God, we receive peace, comfort, and assurance through Christ. We believe that God, through His Word and the power of His Spirit, can minister peace to you in the midst of your emotional distress; God's Word offers us the peace that passes all understanding. As you fully commit this problem to the Lord, you will begin a new relationship of hope and comfort in Christ which will assure you that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

David was deeply distraught about overwhelming conditions in his own life which blurred the sense of God's presence, but in Psalm 51 he expresses assurance that the joy and fellowship of the Lord have once again become real to him. In other words, he experienced the unfailing love and compassion of God in times when he was plagued with self-condemnation.

After turning a problem over to the Lord, we often pick the problem up once more and agonize over it again and again. Instead, we must decisively choose to leave the matter with Him and put it out of our minds, refusing to think about it or dwell upon it in any way. As God forgives, He also forgets (Hebrews 8:12). When thoughts of guilt come to your mind, say to yourself and God, "Thank you, Lord, for your great forgiveness and mercy. I praise you that you told me to cast this care upon you (1 Peter 5:7), and I have done so. Forgive me for my worry about this matter; with your help, I will praise you instead."

I love you Lord. It is time to turn things around and not be afraid anymore. Let everything I do be for you God. Let everyone be a warrior for Christ in such a sinful world till the end so we may meet you in heaven and continue living for you. Amen.

I've had an abortion last year and I deeply regret it. I bring my sin in front of you Lord and I pray and ask you Lord for forgiveness. At the moment I had the abortion I was so depressed, scared, negative, lost. I was selfish and vulnerable.

I'm turning 21 this year. Tested for pregnancy recently. Considering the various facts, I thought that I would opt for an abortion if I was expecting. It's just a thought but I'm feeling as guilty. I repent. Forgive me, O Lord.

Maggie says 5.7.2013, 10:04 a.m.

Of course He will forgive you! God loves you more than anyone can imagine. Don't beat yourself up over it. It's done. You can't undo it. Accept His forgiveness and feel the warmth of His love. It's there for you. All you have to do is accept.

My heavenly father pls forgive me for my sins. I'm drowning in tears as I read that I can be forgiven by repenting. I feel unworthy bc I knew abortion is a sin. I chose to protect my racist mom from the heartache of having a mixed race baby. Ashamed.

R says 4.14.2013, 10:54 a.m.

Please forgive me, Father. I have displeased you so many times, inc. giving up my babies to you when I was sick w/ selfishness. You obv. love me, as you have blessed me tremendously, despite my egregious actions. I want to feel worthy.

Keith says 10.7.2012, 10:19 p.m.

Keith says 10.7.2012, 10:10 p.m.

I too have committed the sin of abortion. Even though a christian and fully aware that what I was doing was not right, I still went ahead with it. I can't seem to stop crying since then as I really wanted the baby; but because I was disappointed by it's father, I saw that as the only solution. I hope God will find a place in his kind heart to forgive me; please Father, I know I deserve to be punished, but I beg for another chance when am ready. I will do anything just so that u forgive; please do not take away the joy of motherhood from me. PLEASE FORGIVE ME LORD JESUS CHRIST

I had two abortions in my twenties, ages 23 and 28. I regret what I have done. I was scared and got an abortion each time within one week of finding out. I always wanted to have more children, but never forgave myself for what I have done to them.

Mike C says 5.4.2012, 12:08 a.m.

In his presence we are ashamed; with his hands we are renewed. Just wrote that for everyone. We tend to sin at the expense of others. However, this is natural and will be forgiven if you sincerely believe. May you find peace in yourself and God.

delilah says 4.20.2012, 00:26 a.m.

I have three children and they're all 1 year apart. Taking care of three kids is very hard. That's why I did it. I'm hurt and I love God with all my heart

Ke says 3.6.2012, 08:42 a.m.

I had an abortion as well. We all must remember that God is a forgiving God. He forgives all our sin except for rejecting the holy spirit. God is amazing and he loves us the same today as he did yesterday. GOD STILL LOVES US :)

idiot says 2.19.2012, 03:16 a.m.

I allowed my wife to have an abortion (12 week) the other day - I SHOULD HAVE NOT! It would have been our 9th child. I am so ashamed for not being a stronger man and trusting our lives to God. I just ask for forgiveness from the Lord.

I am facing the same situation, and i feel i have let God down, but i do believe God is a forgiving God, and he will forgive you for all of your sins and this situation. The most important thing to do is start forgiving yourself.

I had an abortion 9 years ago the biggest mistake of my life. I knew what I was doing was wrong and I would regret it but still went through with it. I hated my self for so long for doing it. I now put my life in Gods hands. Forgive me Lord.

Right after I graduated HS I got pregnant. If I kept my baby, she would be 5 this month. I still find it hard to forgive myself for what I did, but I hope if God forgives me I can find it in myself to forgive myself. I am truly sorry for what I did.

I had a abortion in my 20s . I regret it everyday of my life. It's been years since I did this, I have no children , I've asked god for forgiveness I'm my own way. But i still struggle with what I did. I have no children I'm not worthy.

I had an abortion almost two months ago and was immediately overcome with grief and knew what I did was wrong. I was not aware of this until afterward. I am seeking God now, when before I rarely allowed myself to rely on him. As awful as an experience this has been, I am feeling slight relief knowing I will live my life according to God. I was so wrong and I will allow God to help me through this terrible sin.

I had an abortion in October last year. This is about the time I would have delivered my child, had I decided to keep him. I had been going through a separation with my husband and became pregnant by another man, and at the time I though I couldn't possibly bring another life into the world, especially a life created with this man. I deeply mourn the loss of this baby, whom I believe would have been a son. I have two daughters who mean the world to me, but I have suppressed my grief and loss for nearly a year and I think every day about this unborn child. I believe God will forgive me if I truly give it up to Him, and I will. I want more than anything to be forgiven for this ultimate sin...

I too had an abortion and never had children as a result of the operation. I was raised Roman Catholic so I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I had my own agenda at the time. I often made excuses for the choice I made and my sinful life spiralled out of control because of the guilt that I felt and the fact that I believed that I could never be forgiven for what I had done. This is one of the biggest problems with the effects of an abortion. On 2 Nov 1998 I admitted my sin, asked Jesus into my heart and recieved His forgiveness for the abortion. I KNOW that the LORD can forgive any sin, even abortion and I pray that this will help others to confess to the LORD, seek and recieve forgiveness and be free of their guilt "he who the Son sets free, is free indeed" (Jn. 8:36)

a regret says 1.31.2011, 10:21 a.m.

Thank you for helping me in this matter. I have had overwhelming pain and regret. I want more children and now I am too old. Help me God to let go of the past and enjoy the now and my future. I need to be thankful for the 4 children that I have instead of grieving the ones I didn't have. I need to keep thanking God instead of dwelling on what I have lost. I will cast my care on God I will praise him I will stop worrying about this matter. Thank You God for Forgiving Me and forgetting about the past and for your Mercy. I praise you God I will stop picking this matter up and leave it with you God I have decided to leave it with you God. Thank you for forgiving Me and for your Peace and joy in my life.

A dark place. says 12.28.2010, 9:46 p.m.

My son feels like he does not deserve any thing not his wife or a way of life. He feels like a dark hole is around him. He did some tours in Iraq and came back this way. He told his wife if she knew the things he did she would hate him and never forgive him. I am standing with her in prayer and in faith to bring him around and see he doesnt have to run any more. She loves him for better or for worse. She dosnt like things but she would rather have him home and see the Lords Love through her. She doesnt want to let go. How do you think my son will accept that the Lord is a forgiving God and he doesnt need to go to hell because of the things he did wrong? He wants a divorce because of this. She wont let go. I told her to keep having faith. I dont know what to say to her, we just keep praying.
