Echoes of my mistakes,
In the silence reverberate
Words, images haunting
Memories, clinging taunting.
Drifting in unexpectedly,
Fears suffocate me,
I cry out your name,
“Jesus, free me from shame.â€
You take my fears, my fight,
Dark echoes, flooded with light,
My burdens you hold in your hand
You know, you understand.
Your love heals my tears,
Your strength, carries my fears,
Your mercy, reaches out to me
Forgiveness brings tranquility.

• Are you ever disturbed by memories of your own wrongdoing or times when others have hurt you? The enemy often tries to discourage us and make us believe the lie that God’s forgiveness through Jesus is not enough to cleanse every sin. But as Christians, we can know that Jesus has totally cleansed us from our sins (Ephesians 5:25b-27). Psalm 34:5 says, “Those who look to him [God] for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.†What are some of your favorite Bible passages that remind you how powerful God’s forgiveness is through Jesus’ finished work on the cross?

I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me. Psalm 86:7 (NLT)
