I have many worries swirling around in my head. I want to focus on my relationship with Christ, but that focus becomes blurred when I look at myself and know that I need to become a better person in many areas of my life and become a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister, caregiver, teacher... I become overwhelmed, sad, and upset with myself for being so selfish. I feel inadequate and not worthy of the friendships I have, and even the love of my friends, and family. This is a horrible feeling. I know in my head and heart that Satan is forcing these feelings upon me in their strength and I do not want to believe his lies. The difficult part of this for me to deal with, is that even though Satan is trying to defeat me and my walk with Christ, he is using my insecurity, my selfishness and weakness and the truth that I am not perfect in my relationships to break me up and pull me away from my earthly relationships and God.
My struggle in this moment is knowing how to work on many areas of my life at one time and not being defeated before I even begin. I believe the Lord is telling me that although I feel alone in personal relationships right now, that I need to focus on Him and only my relationship with Him and let Him teach me and mold me into who He wants me to be. It is really hard for me to "let go" of trying, straining to work on relationships and doing things to try to get others to see that I am worthy of their love. However, I am going to try.
My prayer for this day is that I will focus fully on God and his love for me. I will give Him my worries and my insecurity. I believe that He is with me and will guide me and provide me with everything I need.
God, forgive me for my faults and for believing the lies Satan has been telling me. Please guide me and draw me near to you.
