A Prayer For Releasing The Shame That Was Never Yours To Carry

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 103:12

God, I’ve been carrying a weight that was never mine to hold. I bring you the shame, the confusion, the false responsibility. Remind me that I am not defined by what was done to me. Heal the places where I learned to blame myself just to make sense of this pain. Help me to release the guilt that never belonged to me in the first place. Thank you for making me clean, for seeing me as whole, and for staying close to me in the experiences I thought disqualified me from your love. I trust you to finish what you started in me.
