Isaiah 50:7
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
Whatever we experience in life, we can be assured that God is with us. God is not bringing down hardships on us in order to make us suffer. I do believe that hardships and painful events in our lives can bring us closer to God. But most importantly, I believe God is always with us, always on our side, and always ready to give us the strength and the courage we need, if we only ask. I should never feel ashamed of what I am going through, or of my dependence on God.
Holy Lord God, your presence always and everywhere is a huge comfort to me. I turn to you in confidence. There is no room in me for shame, as I have been filled with your Holy Spirit. Amen

When I realized that Jesus loves me, I began to unlearn that shame. I learned God not only took away my sins on the cross but he has began a work in me which he will continue .…
