A prayer about Worth
When I wonder if I’m worthy enough to follow God
God,
I often struggle to see myself as you might. I either fail to see my faults, or I fail to see my value. I know you love me for who I am, because you created me this way! I know your love for me is not based on what I do for you, because you loved me before I made my first mistake, before I uttered my first word, and even before I took my first breath. Your love for me is an eternal thread woven throughout my life and fortified through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus on my behalf. I still struggle with believing that your approval doesn’t depend on what I do. I confess that sometimes I get so caught up in doing things for you, God, that I lose sight of the greatest privilege of all—knowing you and being known by you. To have my name registered as a citizen of heaven means that I belong, without question, to your eternal Kingdom. Nothing else I do on earth can compare with that joy. Lord, please keep me from the trap of basing my self-worth on my performance. Teach me to rejoice that it is based on your unconditional love for me.
You made [people] only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. Psalm 8:5
