“I will never be ashamed of my faith nor my relationship with God. God is my rock, my refuge, my comforter. God is my all in all.”
Shame is a strong feeling that can have a negative impact on people, making them feel alone and unworthy. Embarrassment over one’s faith and relationship with God frequently results from a fear of being judged or criticized by others. This anxiety may make someone reluctant to publicly declare their beliefs, which can lead to internal struggle and distress.
During these uncertain times, this reminder has been such a comfort to my heart. My distracted mind is calmed just by meditating on God as my rock. I am filled with hope because I know that God is my refuge and that he is constantly by my side.
Dear God, You are my pillar of strength. You’re my rock. My secure haven and refuge. You are the solid foundation on which I stand. You remain the same. Nothing can cause you to move. He is my safe haven and strength. Nothing or no one can take me from him. In these uncertain times, may these facts soothe and strengthen me.
Many situations in life appear to be uncomfortable. As if we’ll never be comfortable again. Perhaps you’ve suffered a miscarriage, the death of a child, an illness, divorce, desertion, or heartbreak. When we go through something like this, it feels like we’ll never recover.
If we’re lucky, the Lord will send someone who has gone through these trying circumstances before to walk with us. Most of us do eventually find consolation in the Lord. The Lord is the only source of true consolation. The consolation we require to help us understand that while everything on earth is transient, God’s love endures eternally and can often be found in our hope of eternal life through God.
Let us not forget where we came from or the difficulties we’ve faced. The Lord has comforted us during those difficult times so that we may help others.
