Are you struggling with self-esteem issues? Are you having trouble seeing what God sees in you? Then look no further. Below are some very important scriptures that aim to build your self-esteem and show you exactly how God sees you. I encourage you to read through the scripture references below and feed your spirit with Gods good word. I implore you to not only read the scriptures but to meditate on them. Read them and then sit and think them over. It is during this time, that I believe, God’s spirit (The Holy Spirit) will reveal to you things that you may not have known or bring things back to your remembrance to encourage your spirit.

1 Peter 3:3-4

Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.
I hope you found the scriptures above to be helpful in building up your self-esteem and your God given worth. To seal God’s Word in you, pray this prayer with me.
Father God, forgive me for not seeing me as you see me
I want to be a worthy vessel and I know that to be worthy, I have to see myself as worthy
Create in me a clean heart so that I may serve you in the capacity for which I was created
I ask that you open my eyes to see me as you see me
I ask that you allow me to rest in your presence that I may forever operate in your presence.
For I know that you are a good God who loves me
I ask that my love is reciprocated correctly so that you feel as loved as you make me feel each day.
This I pray in Jesus name
Amen!
If you’ve prayed this prayer with me I touch and agree with you that it is done in the name of JESUS! Remember as always that God works with faith. So believe that what you’ve prayed on today will be so and it shall.
Until next time my loves, be blessed!
