Help Me, Jesus!نمونہ

Help me, Jesus, find strength in you Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:1). Don’t let the swagger fool you, Lord. I’m not that sure about anything. I wish it was socially acceptable to admit weakness. I talk like I know what I’m talking about. I act like I know what I’m doing. I’d lose my job if I didn’t and probably most of my friends. But the truth is, I feel a regular uneasiness about myself, and I’m afraid to admit it. I’m not happy with me. And it’s hard to put into words. I doubt my ability. I second-guess my decisions. When I’m with others, I feel inadequate because they seem so sure of themselves. I give myself pep talks and try to convince myself I bring something to the table that others don’t. But it feels like I’m rationalizing being a failure. It’s an odd thing, Lord, because I’m not even sure why I feel this way. I can’t put my finger on it. ----- Jesus, I have concluded that creeping self-doubt is the silent killer of happiness. I’m not looking to be all that. I would just like to have a little more self-assurance. It helps me to remember you accomplished a lot with weak people. Moses made excuses. Jonah headed the other way. And Paul was hostile at first. The thing they had in common was you, Lord. They found their strength in you. I don’t want to be something I’m not but would like to be happy about everything I am. I know you were very careful when you created me. You didn’t throw me together with spare parts but knit me together to be unique in every way. You spared nothing in your sacrifice to make me your child and give me salvation. You have given me every reason to be confident in this life. This is a spiritual struggle for me, Lord. Help me find my strength in you. Enjoy this plan? Find more resources like it here!
