Those of us who have been sexually abused as children tend to feel a lot of shame, fear, and rage. If we do not face these feelings, we will hang on to self-defeating behavior. When we are willing to face our shame, fear, and rage, we can start to heal. It may be scary and painful to face those experiences from our past, but the option of not facing that pain seems far worse. A painful existence by denial is comparable to living in a self-made hell.
God, please help me to trust at least one person today with my secret pain.
I do not have to continue feeling guilt and shame for childhood experiences.
