Stop despising the things that make you unique. You were born at just the right time, in just the right place, with just the right gifts, to fulfill a plan that nobody but you can fulfill. Open your Bible and see what God thinks of you. After all, His opinion is the only one that really matters.
Listen to David the Psalmist, “You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your Book! How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly” (Psalm 139:16-17 TLB). If you want to work on your self-image, here’s a prayer to help you today.
“Lord, it’s taken me a long time to figure out that I’m different by divine design; that You’ve made me with abilities, traits, and a genetic combination that nobody else has. Nobody in all the ages of time has ever been me – and nobody ever will.
“Deliver me, Father, from feeling weird; from wishing I were someone else. Deliver me from envy and jealousy toward others.
“Help me to discover the unique person You created me to be; to enjoy the little things that make me so special; so ‘one-of-a-kind.’ Help me to realise that I can give the world something that no one else can give.
“Thank you, Lord, for the awesome creative work You’ve done – and continue to do – in making me who I am. Amen.”
