We understand that you're feeling guilty about lying after swearing on the Bible, and we're here to help you find forgiveness and peace. First, let's remember what the WEB says about lying:
Leviticus 19:11 "You shall not steal. You shall not lie. You shall not deceive one another."
Colossians 3:9 "Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings."
Lying is indeed a sin, and it's important to confess it and repent. It's great that you're feeling remorse, as this is the first step towards repentance. But remember, God is merciful and forgiving.
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
However, it's not just about feeling sorry, but also about turning away from the sin. In your case, you mentioned that telling the truth would cause many problems. While it might seem difficult, the Bible encourages us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). It's possible that you might face consequences for your actions, but remember that God can turn even the most difficult situations into good (Romans 8:28).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you, confessing the sin that has been committed. We ask for your forgiveness and mercy. Grant the strength and courage needed to speak the truth, not out of compulsion, but out of love for you and your commandments. Guide the path, and turn this situation into an opportunity for growth and testimony of your grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God.
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
If you haven't already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He's the only way to true forgiveness and eternal life.
Lastly, consider seeking godly counsel from a pastor or a trusted Christian friend regarding your situation. They can provide guidance and support as you navigate through this.
