shame

For a number of people there seems to be some confusion as to why they should observe the Sabbath. Aside from the fact that its part of the Ten Commandment covenant in which the command itself says we are to "Remember the Sabbath day"; Aside from the fact that the Sabbath provides all humans...

I have posted about something similar to this before, but just feel really drawn to seek advice around this so thought I would just share. I am a bit confused as to how to feel about something... Last Friday I went to bed later than I knew I should have at the time. I could have set my alarm...

When I was at school I experienced people making fun of me for my appearance and it definitely affected my confidence as I grew up. I used to look in the mirror all the time and hate how I looked. I would look at surgery online to see what I could do to fix myself and even contacted one of them...

I've been talking to a counsellor for around 4 months and I am starting to see the roles and patterns in my family's system. It's very toxic, and I realised I was/am the scapegoat of the family, programmed to be constantly ashamed or feel guilty. I never knew where that huge amount of guilt came...

Psalms 25:3 - No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame. Amen! This is a promise, the truth and the destination of whoever hopes and waits upon God. We are serving the same God whom David is testifying in the Psalms 25:3. God doesn't change, He is the same yesterday, today and forever...

Is it possible to destroy God’s plans for your life? If we make a mistake that causes us to unknowingly go against God’s plan for our lives will He really redirect us? I am a new Christian and my biggest fear is this. God revealed something about my future to me. I have faith it was Him...

Does God shame people who do bad to others? And how does he do it?

All my life since the age of 5,6 or 7 I was introduced to sexual things by my neighbor and did some horrible things. I did some worse sexual things with even my sister. As I keep growing, I loved watching movies with sexual content and stop for a while. All throughout middle school to high...

Hey there! I've been a Christian for 25 years, and have learned a few things along the way. I am by no means an expert and would never claim that the knowledge/wisdom I have came from me - it's straight from the Bible and revelation of the Holy Spirit. This will be my first mini-essay on...

What is the difference between shame and guilt? Are there commonalities? Do different religions and "faiths" within those religions treat the two as different or the same. In the Christian Bible, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, "they both saw...

God has seemed to open my eyes to two of my chief sins in my life. The LORD cast me down with guilt after I barked at two people for endorsing a Bethel Redding church event and how I behaved was inexcusable. I also struggle with sexual temptation and can really be carried away at the slightest...

My name is Mikey, and I am a firm follower of Christ at 19 years-old. I attend private Christian University Corban in Salem, Oregon. From childhood to now, I have not lived well. We have always been poor. I've come into a strong and genuine relationship with Christ in the past couple years...

I get so upset with myself at times like this. I go months without self harming and then everything hits me like a ton of bricks. I end up relapsing. consistently relapse for weeks on end before managing to stop again. My normal coping mechanisms feel undoable because of my headspace. I often...

The more I grow up the more I feel like being a Christian becomes even mor challenging. I want to be closer to God and I started to pray more bu there's one area that I really feel ashamed of and stops me from praying. I'm sure I'm not the only one struggling with this, but it's sex. When my...
