so lost in life

i have a cousin with heart failure that has been going through alot of trouble these last phew years and is back in the hospital looking to be operated on once again, shes only 18 and is in her 1st year of college. my grandfather had a surgery done today and everything is looking good , i just hope his recovery goes well and for others to pray for him and my cousin. The main reason im here is because i fear i might of ruined my life. Im 22 and work at a ski resort, in a moment of weakness , temptation , and greed i used a lost credit card that i had found that day to buy 450$ worth of snowboard gear at the retail store where i work. I didnt realize what i was doin all i could think about was new gear. After driving 1/2 way home i realized how wrong , dumb, and evil my actions where. im not a criminal nor am i bad person, i just made a horrible choice and wish i could take it all back. Now i havnt been caught for anything yet , but im not gana wait to find out, ive already contacted a attorney and will be giving my confession tomorrow. I feel so sick about what ive done, these last phew nights i havnt been able to sleep much and i feel as though my parents only see me as a disappointment. I dont want to go to jail , and i dont want a criminal record that will prevent me from ever having a real job.
im just so so scared right now and dont know what to do , i keep praying for gods guidance and strength but i just feel empty plz pray for me in my time of need.

If you really believe in our Lord and Savior, his sacrifice was so enough to cover all sins of all time including all the one's you've done and are going to do. To me it sounds like you have really repented in your heart, it is up to you to confess it to God and he will forgive you. However, mistakes we do here on earth might have a negative repercussion, and that is obvious, but never forget that your father sees Jesus in you therefore pray for him to give you strength to battle your inner desires, and he will. Trust Him.

I can understand how lost and scared you must feel about your own future. Ask God for guidance, talk to him, and looks to me like things will work out. You are a young fellow, are turning yourself in, and have lawyer, those all are good things. Sometimes things work out better than expected, and pray.

God do not cover our sins, He will forgive them and he will take the desire to sin from our hearts. sin is not covered as if it is hid. God do not hide our sin while we do them, if you truloy repent you will not want to do this sin again under the power of the Blood of Jesus. God is a faithful God, He said if we confess our sins, He will forgive us and Cleans us from ALL Unrighteousness. He do not nor will he ever make sin clean. Ask the Lord for forgiveness, and ask the Lord to be your Judge in this matter and what ever he sees fit for your punishment ask him to be the one who decide it. He is very merciful, I know; he did it for me. And I was a crimenal. He show me so much Mercy.

So I too pray that God will show you much mercy in being your judge. And he will guid this situation for you. Trust in is mercy and Love. And as I see, The Lord has already chestized you for what you have done and you have submitted to what he has done to your heart and have learned that the devil has set a trap for you and though you fell in the Lord has reached done to pull you out and you have taken His loving hand. Now know He will not get you to the point of repentance and leave you there in that spot. He is going to take you all the way... I am believing the Lord he will work this out and he will still bless you, because you have surrender to his chestising for correction. God bless you and Have faith... God is the best judge... cause he only judge the heart... after the action, and your heart is in the right place... it is set before the Lord our God for forgiveness and cleansing....

As Jesus said, the angels in heaven rejoice when one that was lost is returned.
Sometimes our our choices cause us to step away, but be comforted, Jesus kept your heart in His will and you obeyed.
You are in my prayers in Jesus that your heart will be filled with peace, and that mercy will be given in this .
Hugs and God bless.

Thank you everyone , just wanted to say that my attorney worked out a deal w the da and there will be no charges. The problem now is money. Had to go to my parents for this and that makes me feel even worse. They don't have a whole lot so ended up borrow money from my grandfather. I just pray now that I can get a new job , get back on my feet , n pay my family back . Also found out the other day that one of my older cousins got his 3rd DUI and already has a hefty record, he's not wat I would call a decent person but he's still family and I feel for him

Im glad that all worked out for you, I know this may be hard on your parents, but see this as your way of stepping forward into a stronger faith in Jesus.
Your cousin is in my prayers in Jesus, as you are too.
Hugs and God bless

If you do suffer for the things you do wrong it is a good thing. That means you are a child of God and he is correcting you and teaching you

Aww....things happen...we are human...and the flesh is very weak.....its easy for us to fall into temptation...but you have repented and you know that what you did was wrong....you are going to fix things by confessing...and God knows you really mean it..(that's whats important)....and your family loves you even when you do wrong...your mom and dad love you unconditionally because you are their beloved child...I'm sure they have forgiven you...and about being scared for your future job and that a criminal record might prevent you from having a good job, I'd say chillax...you can never know what you will get in the future...but most important thing is that the God, our Lord is the Lord who PROVIDES! And even if it looks impossible to you, trust me it is not for Him! He has His own ways and they are the BEST!! You leave all your worries and problems to the Lord - our only true SOLUTION! And live your life as He commands from now on.. You are LOVED by God and your parents simply because you are their beloved child!! And nothing and no one can ever change this fact!

Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 ---- And remember that we are a new creation each and every day!

Stay blessed bro!!
