Shame February 22nd 2025

The last few days I’ve had technical issues getting logged onto my own site. This is still a work in progress, as am I.

I’ve recently shared that I have started reading the bible daily to complete it this year, cover to cover. I’ve also shared that I’m ashamed to say that out loud, but it is the truth. I also recently order a United States Constitution and plan to read that, cover to cover, and yup, I’ve never read that as well and kind of ashamed of that as well. so, I’ve really thought about and prayed as a result of the shame I feel and am working to make peace with both. I pray and share;

Dear Father God,

Thank You for waking me up this morning and waking me up in the warmth and comfort of a cozy home. Please let me never take for granted the blessings and gifts You have blessed me with.

I have come before You several times this week and prayed about my shame. Please release me for my shame…..which is a feeling of distress or humiliation caused by wrong or foolish behavior.

Today, help me to live for today, and then for tomorrow. Help me to start correcting the errors of my past. Lead me to bible reading and study, and toward reading the constitution of our country. Your goal for me is not shame, but rather growth and salvation. Guide my thoughts, actions and behaviors toward everything You want me to be, see and experience. Replace the shame in my life with motivation and determination to move forward on the path that You have designed for me.

Thank You for always, and I say always, coming to find me and moving me back on the path You want me to travel. Bless me in my thoughts and activities as I work to become the best version of me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray and ask these things; Amen.
