When Life seems to have you by the throat and is squeezing tighter with every difficult situation, you must remember to do but one thing, nothing. Not until you fully understanding there is nothing you can do, will you consider surrendering your Life to God. The Holy Spirit needs but the faintest whisper in your call for help to show, you were never in control to begin with. Be comforted in knowing this because you are now released and no longer a prisoner of Shame and Guilt.
Ego, on the other hand, blames you for any and everything but never gives you the chance to choose. The instant you lose focus of Christ, Ego high jacks your mind and takes over. Embarrassment is what Ego uses to keep you from seeing and living in Truth. This is how Ego has you convinced it's needed for your protection from further embarrassment, shame, hurt, etc. Is that not insane? "Yes" you say, all the while never letting go of what you continue to believe, knowing it doesn't make sense and is not True.
Let this be the reason you not underestimate the Power of God in you. For when used for anything other than the Will of God, you've given it over to Ego. Considering Power is of God given by God, no one and nothing can take it from you. Because you've forgotten who you are, Ego makes demands of you and uses the Power of God in you for its sole purpose which is to destroy you and others. This explains your depression, which comes from your perspective on Life as what you see and not what you know to be True!
Be simply willing to accept the fact that you need do nothing in order to find Peace and you will be at Peace. Peace comes only when you realize your doing is what got you needing Peace in the first place because its not found in doing but in being.
When Life seems to have chewed you up and spit you out, give it ALL over to the Holy Spirit by being (and staying) in the present moment, for this is the only place you'll find Peace considering its the only place Ego does not exist. Do this by living Life by Faith and not in Fear so the Holy Spirit can show you Ego made it all up and so it means nothing. This is where you'll land on your own two feet. Peace
