Stop Beating Yourself Up: Finding Joy After Mistakes
Finding freedom from self-punishment by embracing the promise that joy comes in the morning. Our tendency to hold onto past mistakes prevents us from experiencing the full joy God offers us daily.
• Psalm 30:5 reminds us that God's anger is momentary while His favor lasts a lifetime
• We often worship our mistakes, turning them into idols we continuously revisit
• When we make mistakes, we should apologize, make amends, then release them through repentance
• Parents of adult children particularly struggle with letting go of past parenting regrets
• Stop beating yourself up over job losses, business struggles, or relationship challenges
• Seek clarity from God about next steps instead of dwelling in self-criticism
Remember that joy cannot coexist with self-condemnation. Release your mistakes, receive forgiveness, and welcome the joy that comes each morning.

Good morning y'all. It's Saturday, faith Fuel and I just wanted to come on real quick and just share just a little bit of encouragement, and is it? It is what it is, y'all. I'm breaking out because it's what is crazy, but I was thinking about this this morning. I'm in Psalm 30, verse 5. And it says For his anger is but for a moment moment and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning. If you know Psalm 30, really the caption in my ESV Bible is joy comes in the morning. So I just wanted to encourage us to stop being so hard on ourselves. Even the Lord when it says his anger is but for a moment.
Speaker 1:Some of us are carrying mistakes and you know we're beating ourselves up for the things that we've done. You know, last week, last year, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, like you're carrying this thing and it almost, it almost becomes an idol that we worship because we become self-righteous. We you know what I'm saying we go through all the motions of petting the mistakes and treating it like it becomes a part of us. We've got to stop being so hard on ourselves. We've got to stop being so hard. Some of the things that I do, and just sharing what I do again, just doing life with y'all is when I make a mistake. If I've offended someone, I'll correct it right. I'll a mistake. If I've offended someone, I'll correct it right. I'll apologize for that. But I also repent because I want it off my heart. So I'll go to the Lord and I repent. Lord, forgive me for my thoughts, my deeds, my actions. You know. Anything that I've said or done to cause certain things, whatever it is, and then y'all I have to let it go right. We cannot keep beating ourselves up for mistakes that we've made. We've got to at some point. You got to move past. That it doesn't mean that there isn't going to be some level of correction right when you make a mistake. If you do something wrong, there's going to be correction right.
Speaker 1:But I just want to encourage you, especially parents of adult kids. You know, if you feel like you've done the best you could, okay, you've done the best you could. You've got to move on. You have to be able to forgive yourself. You have to do that. Joy is never going to show up for you. Joy is not coming in the morning if you're still holding on to things and you're beating yourself up. We don't need to do that.
Speaker 1:So my hope is that, as this reaches you, you'll feel maybe a little sense of relief. Maybe it's just a reminder Stop beating yourself up. Stop beating yourself up. You lost a job and you're not where you are right now. The business isn't doing as well as you thought it would, the kids are going crazy, the spot's getting on your nerves and everything is on your shoulders. I get it, but you've got to stop beating yourself up. I want you to pause and ask the Lord to give you clarity and wisdom about what do you do next, right? What do you do next? Because we don't want to sit and stew. We want to keep moving forward. All right, I hope that, encouraged, y'all have an amazing Saturday. Me and my Zed are going to go take care of some business, right? I love y'all. Jesus loves you more and I'll see you next week. Take care.
