They love me, They love me not
Why don't they love me? Many ask this question on a day to day basis. Why do we ask this question? It’s because of our insecurities. Insecurities about what we look like, what we drive, our hair, our clothes and just who we are as a whole. Insecurity by definition means, “uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence (Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, 2017).” So, it is our lack of confidence that we ask this question. When we lack confidence, it confirms the fact that we do not know our worth. Not knowing our worth will result in us entering all kinds of places, situations and relationships. The danger of entering these relationships, with this mind set, is that we are often willing to compromise who we are just to remain in these spaces….remaining there just to please to others. We are often willing to change our appearance, our opinions, our values and behaviors, all to receive the acceptance of others. Many times we are searching for things in our relationships that others simply are not capable of giving us. In turn, this may leave us broken and wounded; wounded from situations, behaviors and outcomes that we should not have indulged in to begin with.
Many times we are blinded and do not even realize we have entered into these spaces ill equipped. Our current mindset is skewed and it is virtually impossible to tackle these situations broken. We are unstable, and because we are unstable, so are our decisions. Along with this unstable mindset, comes an irrational, illogical and roller coaster lifestyle. While we are on this rollercoaster, our actions go up, down and around, over and over again. Since the outcome is ultimately the same, our confidence is shot!! We do not want anyone upset with us, we do not want to lose friends, or to be viewed as irresponsible; so we go up and down; between our thoughts and our actions…creating confusion. Pleasing people, while we lose ourselves in the process. Acquiring popularity at any cost.
Despite what we have heard, we were not created to complete one another. Only our creator can complete us. After all, He would know better than anyone what it will take to make us whole!
We must begin to seek the Lord and ask for deliverance and healing in our emotions. To reveal to us the root of this spirit. We must begin to take a stance and shout, “I have nothing to prove!”
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psalms 139 vs 14 KJ
Prayer For Insecurity
God thank you for loving me. Thank you for seeing me just as I am. Thank you for knowing my shortcoming, my faults and still choosing to love me. God help me to see me the way you do and to love me as you do. God help me to accept me as me and find my identity in you and not in people or things. God thank you for the reassurance that I may find safety and security in the word of God that's says you make no mistake. I declare I am fearfully and wonderfully made in your imagine. Jesus came to set the captives free and today I claim freedom. I am no longer bound by my doubt, uncertainty, worry, or fear but I am free today in Jesus name. I am what you see and I have nothing to prove. Amen!
"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.”
