I Wish I Could Take Away Your Pain Quotes

“I feel so alone.
Shame survives by convincing me I am alone.
Whether my pain was caused by my bad decision or whether something tragic happened to me, shame is loud in my head.

All of God’s promises that I know do not quiet this shame.
Shame feels comforting when I feel so helpless.
Because it is easier to feel shame than it is to feel helpless.
Shame is something I think I have control over.

Except shame lies.”

“By choosing me you are choosing to have a life that is a little less comfortable because of me.

This seems like something to be avoided.
To live vulnerably like this seems to be something to be avoided.”
― Brenda Seefeldt Amodea, I Wish I Could Take Away Your Pain
