I am a young woman who is insecure and has struggled with who I am or who I am supposed to be. I have a clearer answer and I have been left depressed. I have been feeling guilty about some bad decisions I have made in my life. I have forgiven everyone, including myself. I know I have been forgiven. I feel that I am a total wimp with no self esteem, that I am not that smart, and that I am totally useless. My self esteem has actually suffered and I feel so fearful, powerless, and clueless all at the same time. I even wake up with thoughts such as these. I have tried everything and since I would be more anonymous here than at home I just feel more at ease telling you. I am not good at confrontation or when someone insults me. I just give in because I want no trouble. I want people to like me and strangely enough not only do some of these people not like me they don't have any respect for me. I am not good with people and I have no friends. So now I feel so much better confessing. I have a fear of being judged or being humiliated. It is as if everyone else is above me because they have friends, a job, or whatever I don't have. I feel so alone. I admit that I am lonely. I just don't know how to relax, or just be happy. I have a hard time with people being nice and kind and actually being a friend. I cannot even relate to my own family. What should I do? I am in need of prayer about this.

Dear sister in Christ,
My thoughts and prayers are with you! I think many of us know what it is like to feel worthless; I know I do. I'd like to share with you some suggestions that were given to me when I felt as you do.
First of all, you are so worthy of love just for being you! However, YOU have to believe that YOURSELF. Therefore, try looking in the mirror and saying "I am someone that God loves. I am worthy of love." It may sound silly, but it does work!
Another thing I did was make a list of the things I did not like about myself, gave it to the Lord, and asked His Help. He loves us all so much and wants to help us if we will only let go and let Him!
Please keep the faith, and remember you are loved. I know things will get better.
Cathryn

Just open your heart to the Love of Jesus and ask him into your heart as Lord and Savior. Accept his free gift of salvation and confess your sins to HIM. He will forgive you for GOD loves you very much....More than you will ever know in this life.
I will keep you in my prayers...

Father, I lift heart to You praying for a mighty touch from You in her life. You love her so much! I pray for her to feel and accept You uncomparable love for her and as You just love on her, show her how to love herself. My prayer is that she will grow to see herself the way that You see her now, a beautiful woman of God. Move within, around and through her, Lord. I pray. Amen
