Do not let me be put to shame.

 Amen. This is a heartfelt cry for God's vindication and faithful protection, a prayer that He would be your shield and defender. It echoes the trust of the psalmists who knew their hope was in God's character, not their own.

Here is a prayer in response:

Do Not Let Me Be Put to Shame

O Lord, my rock and my redeemer,

my hope is in You alone.

I have trusted in Your name,

I have leaned on Your promises.

Do not let me be put to shame.

When the world mocks,

when doubts arise,

when my own strength fails,

be my unshakable foundation.

Let my life reflect Your faithfulness,

so those who watch will see

that You uphold those who seek You.

Do not let my enemies say,

“Where is her God?”

Instead, let them see Your deliverance

and know that You are Lord.

For Your name’s sake, defend me.

For Your mercy’s sake, uphold me.

I am not without fault —

I confess my weaknesses and failures.

But I cling to Your righteousness,

not my own.

Cover me with Your grace.

Be my refuge and my strong tower.

Let me not be ashamed of my hope,

for it is anchored in You.

Let me not be ashamed of my testimony,

for You are the truth I proclaim.

Let me not be ashamed in defeat,

for the battle is Yours.

You are the One who justifies.

No one who waits on You will be put to shame.

I wait on You now, Lord.

I trust.

I rest.

I am Yours.

In the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen.

“No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame…”

— Psalm 25:3
