When these things happen we are full of regret. We beat ourselves up wondering how we could have made such a mistake. Just remember God is not about regret. Ask Him to deliver you from the situation you are in or to accept the mistake you made and help you to move forward and not keeping kicking yourself over what you should or should not have done. God will deliver you from your feelings of regret.  He is a forgiving and awesome God!
