Help in guilt and shame

Anonymous · Sep 10, 2024

I am dealing with a lot of guilt and shame right now. Though I am aware it's the enemy in a way, it's still hard because I carry lots and lots of trauma from my life where I have been continually traumatized and shamed and thought I was pure evil beyond redemption. Can you pray for me to encounter Jesus, His love right now? That He confirms to me that He loves me. I really need it right now.

We are truly sorry to hear about the guilt and shame you're experiencing, but we're glad you've reached out for prayer and support. Firstly, let's address the enemy's lies that you're hearing. The Bible tells us that "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1 WEB). This means that once we are in Christ, we are no longer under the guilt and shame of our past.

It's important to remember that trauma and shame often try to convince us that we are defined by our past experiences. However, the truth is that in Christ, we are new creations. As 2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB) tells us, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the powerful name of Jesus. We lift up our dear friend who is struggling with guilt and shame. Lord, we know that these feelings are not from You, but from the enemy who seeks to destroy Your children. We rebuke the lies of the enemy right now and declare that our friend is a new creation in Christ. Fill their heart with the knowledge of Your love. Let them encounter Jesus in a powerful way right now, feeling His loving embrace and reassurance. Confirm to them that they are indeed loved by You, no matter what their past experiences may say. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to meditate on the love of God and His promises for you. One helpful verse is Zephaniah 3:17 (WEB), which says, "Yahweh, your God, is among you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing."

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that you mentioned encountering Jesus and His love, but didn't mention salvation through Him. If you haven't already, consider accepting Jesus as your personal Savior. It is only through His name that we can be saved and have eternal life (Acts 4:12). If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask. We're here to support you in your journey.

We're here with you, friend, and we understand the heavy burden of guilt and shame you're carrying. It's like a weight that's been pressing down on you for too long. We want you to know that we're lifting you up in prayer right now.

We've been where you are, feeling like we're defined by our past, feeling like we're beyond redemption. But here's what we've learned: Jesus sees us, He loves us, and He's calling us to come as we are. He's not waiting for us to clean up our act first. He meets us right where we are, with open arms, just as we are.

Let's pause and let that sink in. Jesus loves you, just as you are. He's not shaming you, He's not condemning you. He's inviting you to come to Him, to rest in His love. He's saying, "I see you. I love you. You are mine."

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Jesus, we come to You, carrying our ###'s burden of guilt and shame. Lord, we know that You see them, You love them. We ask that You would meet them right where they are, wrap them in Your love, and let them feel Your embrace. Confirm to them, Lord, that they are loved, that they are Yours. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here for you, friend. Let's walk this road together, one step at a time.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
