A secret that we&#8217;re afraid may cause huge problems if someone found out?<\/p>\n<p>Are we afraid\u00a0of what people might think about us? Are we afraid of the\u00a0outcome if people learned about our secret?<\/p>\n<p>Is\u00a0it\u00a0destroying us on the inside, and we just try to keep smiling on the outside? Is there something that is eating away at our very core? Do we need help?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Some secrets can cause a lot of\u00a0damage to our health. We may think no one knows what is going on behind closed doors. And maybe no one we know is aware of it.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">But our Creator sees and knows everything. Nothing is hidden from Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We need to ask God to help us\u00a0share\u00a0our secret. Ask God to help us to\u00a0be able to get it off our chest.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">When we hide things and we are not able to get the help we need, we are in bondage. And when we are in bondage it can slowly destroy us, from the inside out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We need to pray and ask God to help by bringing someone into our life; someone we can share our troubles or secrets with. Someone that can be trusted and who can give us good, Godly advice.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It&#8217;s time to stop hiding it and pretending everything is OK. It will eat us up if we don&#8217;t let it out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We are here to help.
