I have always struggled with self-worth and feeling useless.
I was raised in an environment that if you shared your pain, you were selfish, so I just don't. And now I have people who are willing to listen and speak truth into me, but I revert back to old days. Were I do not share my pains.
This is something that after years of reflection I should how to deal with it. I need daily reminders of this. I find myself praying for others to know how much they matter, when right now I need to pray for myself to discover my self worth.
I also know I am not the only young woman who feels this way, so here is my prayer to any of you struggling with this.
Hey God,
First off I want to invite you into our hearts, let your Holy Spirit be felt. Lord life is hard and the world we live in sometimes knocks us down. We wake up some days not sure if we are worthy. We worry about doing good, we worry about what others will say about us. Sometime we let the things others say lead our life and hearts. Please Lord just hold us. Let our hearts and minds be reminded of Your good word. Let us know we are loved. Let us know it doesn't matter what the world sees are worthy, You matter. You made us worthy of your love. Let us know we are not useless, we have a purpose. Let our worrisome hearts be at peace and reminded that you are holding us. I pray we remember that we NEED You. We need your love and we are worthy of it. Remind us no matter how much we mess up, You love us.
In your name, Amen
So this is a short blog but I felt I needed to share this with you all. Please pray for my heart and mind to know the truth, that I am worthy. I will do the same.
