Lord, when I am feeling less than I am,
I remember that it was Your love and intention that went into my making.
Though I may not always love myself,
I am ever loved by You just the same.
For that, I give my thanks and praise, as You have given each of us a bountiful life to live in Your name
Aid me in letting go of trying to be good enough for others, so I may focus instead on manifesting Your will in the world.
Praise the Lord.
Amen
A lot of times, we feel downcast and see ourselves as not being good enough. Other times, we seek to win the approval of people around us by trying to fit their standards. This prayer is a reminder that we were purposely made the way we are by God, and we are just right. He created us all and He loves us just the way we are. We should be grateful to God and aim to embody His divine plans here on earth.
This prayer is fitting for periods when we feel dejected. We must realize our uniqueness of creation and appreciate it. We must learn to love ourselves the way God has made us, rather than trying to conform to the expectations of others.
