If God were only all-knowing, His witness to our lives would be condemnation. But we know something more about God’s character. We know that He desires our good. We know that He desires that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9). We know that He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). And we know that He gives wisdom to all who ask (James 1:5). All of this means that we can come before God whenever we experience guilt, and we can pray for discernment.
