I actually feel ashamed, I feel distant [and] I feel like I want to hide myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The reality TV personality said that those experiences made her feel distanced from God and \u201cconfused about [her] purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cYou have to remember, \u2018OK, that\u2019s not the voice of my God. My God says, I call you to a holy life because I want you to be free. I call you to a holy life because I care about you. I call you to a holy life because I want a relationship with you.

And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThat is so powerful to me because it tells me that I will never be presented with a situation where I have to sin. Never.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Prewett added, \u201cThere\u2019s never going to be a situation where on one side I have to choose sin and on the other side I have to choose sin.
