S – For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly grief produces death

2 Corinthians 7:10 CSB

O – Commentary: 

Two kinds of sorrow are mentioned: (1) Worldly sorrow that lacks repentance leads to spiritual death (e.g., see Matt 27:3–6; Heb 12:16–17). (2) Sorrow that leads us away from sin leads to salvation, as it did when the church in Corinth responded positively to Paul’s rebuke

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – Use challenge, grief and even loss to move closer to God.  It causes us to recognize that we can can be healed and free through the blood of Christ.  We have to recognize what we do that contributes to the challenge, repent and accept God’s forgiveness.

R – Lord, thank you for the gift of your forgiveness.  Help me to recognize where I fall short and accept your forgiveness.  I repent of my thoughts, words and actions that don’t line up with your Word.  Give me the ability to turn this decision into growth and closer intimacy with You.
