Are you struggling with feelings or thoughts of inadequacies? We all go through this at some point in our lives. Often times situations arise that throw us into this mindset. Situations like unhappiness, strife with others, verbal insults, physical violence, and many other occasions.
The scripture tells us we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against spiritual darkness. Whomever or whatever has caused you to feel this way, start to pray. During dark times in my life, no matter how I am feeling, I automatically start praying. I have often turned to Psalms for encouragement.
King David often went through hard times because of his enemies. Not, only from the surrounding countries that often wanted to attack the Israelites, but often times those that worked close to him on a day-to-day basis. He even had horrible events happen within his family. One of his sons raped his half-sister. Her brother was so angry that he took off after the half-brother and killed him.
No matter your situation, or what has been said or done to you. God says you are good enough. Don’t accept that evil spirit from others or the negativity from a situation to dictate your life. Let go of it. That is exactly what the evil situation or spirit from another person wants. The evil wants you to become immobile or put you into such a depression that it holds you back from blessings.
Psalm 139:14 KJV, says ,I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knowth it well.”
The Modern Language version says, “I praise thee because I have been fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous is Thy workmanship, as my soul is well aware.”
How do you let go? I had to practice, so be patient with yourself as you learn a new habit. I started thinking about the good things around me. I would look up at the sky and think, “wow” how beautiful, even if it is a cloudy day. Or I started thinking of great food I’ve tasted in the past and would begin to look up the recipe. It takes practice, but it is a new beginning for you today. You are good enough!
Good enough for the promotion, good enough for the quiet walk down a beautiful road, good enough to think you are pretty or handsome, whatever it is tell yourself, you are good enough. If God made you carefully, then you are good enough for anything.
