Feeling Guilt

I just read a really great article that I received in my email. It talked about the different kinds of guilt. I learned that there is the guilt from doing something wrong such as a sin and there is the guilt that the Enemy likes to lay on us.
I have felt this guilt from Satan. I can hardly stand it when Ryan watches football because it brings up feelings of anxiety and guilt from the days when I would always drink. It brings back all the things I did to all the people I love. But, today I learned I don't have to feel this guilt anymore. I can pray for the Lord to take it away. I never realized that it wasn't a healthy feeling. I just figured it was times like that and feelings like that that keep me from crawling in a bottle. I figured it was perfectly normal and healthy. Boy was I wrong and honestly I couldn't be more happy about it. I'd love to sit down and watch a football game with my wonderful husband and not feel anxious or shameful. And, I can...Thank you Lord for bringing this all to my attention. Thank you for loving me enough to send it, because you knew I needed to know the Truth. Thank you...
