Feelings of unworthiness come in times of doubt, or tragedy, when you question why something is happening and feel distant from God. When you feel alone and unworthy, take a moment and say, “I am worthy of God’s love. I am worthy of His grace.”
Lord, in times of trouble, help me to draw closer to You, not further away. When my thoughts make me feel small and unworthy, guide me to prayer, to trust Scripture and to have faith.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.—Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.—Matthew 6:28–29 (NIV)
