Regret is so hard to swallow. It interferes with sleep, confidence, and trust. But how do you bring it under control, especially when you have hurt another’s feeling through trying to do the right thing? Hindsight says, “You should have covered your words with prayer”. True; and the reality is, it is never too late to seek God’s intervention. He Is, He Was, and He Will Be. God was present when you spoke and He is holding the moment now. Take your cares to God's altar. Ask your Lord to cover your words with His love and soften the hearts of all concerned. Seek forgiveness for yourself and pray for those involved. Let Him open the door of reconciliation and be prepared to give yourself to His bidding. He will guide and keep you through it all.

For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. – 2 Corinthians 7:10
