GOD'S PROMISES - ASHAMED

We have all done things in our past and present lives that we feel embarrassed and ashamed of.  But when you ask God for forgiveness of you sins, He washes all your sins away and you don't have to be ashamed and you can be free from the things that torment your  mind.

"You Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."  Psalm 18:28

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."  Psalm 51:10-12

"For your have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life."  Psalm 56:13

"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength....the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion."  Isaiah 30:15b, 18

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him'"  Lamentations 3:22-24

"The time has come,...The kingdom of God has come near.   Repent and believe the good news!"  Mark 1:15
