You may still feel guilty because that lie could have hurt someone. That someone could even be you. Telling the truth was the first step. Suffering the consequences is the second. Third: Forgiving yourself.

-I disagree with the above.

When you lied you did something wrong. Feeling guilty is a result of this. To not feel guilty you have to be truly sorry you did something wrong and ask forgiveness of the person you lied to.

Asking forgiveness of God is something I would also recommend, as He doesn't hold with lying, and is more important than the person you lied to.
