9.10 Breaking Free from Shame

Do you feel trapped in shame?

One of the common themes in movies these days is "Just follow your heart!" 

But what happens when your heart lies to you? What happens when your heart keeps reminding you of all your failures, your mistakes, and your most embarrassing moments? What about when you are buried in shame?

If shame is a stronghold that is holding you captive, friend, today's prayer is for you.

This fall on the Prayers of REST Podcast we are getting honest with God about our temptations and struggles so that, by the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us, we can break free from the spiritual strongholds in our lives. Join us each week as we:

R - Recite God's Goodness
E - Express Your Neediness
S - Seek His Stillness
T - Trust His Faithfulness

If we want to break free from the sins and temptations holding us captive, it is so important that we pray proactively and repeatedly. That’s why my team created a special resource just for you!

If you want to continue bringing your struggles to Jesus throughout the week—even if you don't have your earbuds on hand!—get the Handling Hard Emotions Scripture Cards!
