Overcoming Thoughts of Suicide and Self-HarmSample

You Are Valued

Do you ever feel like you’re not worth much anymore? Like you’re damaged goods? 

The Bible couldn’t be more clear about how valued you are in the eyes of God. No matter what you tell yourself in your lowest moments, the truth is that God created you as His perfect masterpiece.

In God’s eyes, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. He carefully crafted you while you were still in your mother’s womb, and He created you in His own image. He loves you as His own child, and even knows how many hairs you have on your head!

Jesus tells us that not even a bird can fall from the sky without God knowing and caring for it. If He cares that much for a bird, can you imagine how much He must know and care for you, His perfect masterpiece creation? You are valued!

Take a moment now to pray this to God: God, thank You for creating me in Your image. Please help me always remember that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that I am valued so deeply in Your eyes. When I start to think that I’m worthless or just taking up space, please remind me of the truth—that I am Your perfect creation. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
