Jesus, I surrender my self-doubt to you. It feels an awful lot like insecurity. I second guess myself often, and it brings me chaos, not peace. While I know you seek the humble, there’s something different when it comes to self-doubt. Humility is knowing who I am and asking you for help. But self-doubt compels me inward, seeking myself as a solution. Lord, take all those roiling doubts and help me surrender them to you. May it be that I run to you for help, strength, bravery, and hope. You are bigger than my doubt, wiser than my second-guessing, and stronger than my insecurity. Hold me close. Teach me dependence. And rescue me from myself. Amen.

Saturday morning.

@aldi black pitcher with roses from my yard.

A sunshiny Texas house.

Crepes with raspberries.

Quiet

A full day of gardening stretched before me

Finishing the book of Isaiah

The sound of birdsongs

This is a good way to finish a difficult week

Who needs this reminder today? Jesus provides the stick-to-your-bones peace that endures through dark nights, mounting trials, financial stress, pain in our bodies and minds, trauma, and relational heartache. I pray that beautiful shalom over you today.

Watch this painting carefully, and you’ll see that I actually wrote the words spoken over me. It becomes a cloud of untrue and ill spoken mess over my mind. Can you relate? It’s taken me a lifetime to relinquish and untangle these difficult words. Below is a prayer I hope is helpful as you work through your devastating words.

Jesus, I surrender the words spoken over me. They still sting. They still try to define me. But I am not shaped by those words anymore. So overwhelm me with your love so that the lies told or yelled my way shrink into nothingness. The truth is you love me. You are for me. You created me. I matter. I will amount to something because you have given me life and purpose. I am not insignificant. I am wanted, valued, and cared for. May those words of yours be megaphoned in me, and may the mean words spoken over me whisper into silence, I pray. Amen.
