“I feel so alone. Shame survives by convincing me I am alone. Whether my pain was caused by my bad decision or whether something tragic happened to me, shame is loud in my head. All of God’s promises that I know do not quiet this shame. Shame feels comforting when I feel so helpless. Because it is easier to feel shame than it is to feel helpless. Shame is something I think I have control over. Except shame lies.” — Brenda Seefeldt Amodea
I feel so alone.
Shame survives by convincing me I am alone.
Whether my pain was caused by my bad decision or whether something tragic happened to me, shame is loud in my head.
All of God’s promises that I know do not quiet this shame.
Shame feels comforting when I feel so helpless.
Because it is easier to feel shame than it is to feel helpless.
Shame is something I think I have control over.
Except shame lies.
