Prayer for Shame

Lord Jesus, You went to the cross and endured shame publicly, voluntarily — so that mine could be taken away. But I have not fully believed that. I still carry it. The voice that tells me I am permanently tainted, that what I did or what was done to me defines me forever — I bring that voice before Your throne today and I reject it. You have said that anyone who trusts in You will never be put to shame. I receive that. I am not my worst moment. I am not what happened to me. I am Yours. Let that truth be louder than the shame. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Isaiah 61:7Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.
