Today I will no longer serve my insecurities, low self-esteem and negative thinking towards myself.

A Prayer For Confidence

Dear Lord,

I'm tired. I'm tired of the way I talk to myself. I'm tried of the way I see myself. I'm tired of this low, depressive thinking of myself.

I'm tired of feeling harboring this low perception of myself that doesn't align with what you say about me; low self-esteem. I'm tired of sitting here waiting to accept myself. I'm tired of not believing it. God help me to believe what you say about me.

God help me to believe that I'm beautifully and wonderfully made. God help me to believe that I am the head and not the tail. God help me to believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

God help me to believe what you say about me when you talk to me about your plans for me. God help to know that no matter what I need you in order to have confidence and self esteem because you created me. God help me to see that in all my flaws, insecurities, happy days, struggle days and in between that I am your masterpiece.

God help me to see that I can never have real confidence in who I am apart from you. I need to put my confidence in the one that created me to understand who I am. You know why I behave the way that I do. Help me to accept everything that you have made about me. Help me to accept the personality, talents, skills, likes, dislikes, interests, strengths and weaknesses that you gave me.

Help me to accept the uniqueness that you gave me. Help me to see that everything you made is good which includes me. Help me to fall in love with me the way that you're in love with me.

I need you to do this because I didn't create me. I need my creator to show me the beauty of who I am. Lord have your way in my relationship with myself. Help me to use my love languages to treat myself better.

Help me to allow your love for me to flow into my relationship with me. I want to compliment myself like you compliment me. I want to provoke me to step out on faith like you do with me. I want to love on myself like you love on me.

Help me to see that faith without works is dead. Help me to apply that in not just believing the word but in actively treating myself that way. Help me to replace the abusive ways I look at myself in the mirror and in pictures with appreciating the exclusive way that you have crafted me.

Today is the last day I ever say anything negative about myself. I refuse to help the enemy distract me from the truth of how God made me. I refuse to help the enemy keep me from becoming confident in who I am in Christ.

Today is the last time I will tolerate this inappropriate and false perception of who I am. I will only say to myself what God says about me. That is how I will define myself because that is who I am.

Thank you Lord.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
