Your Question:
How do I take care of myself when I'm not even sure if I'm worth it?
Answer:
When you're feeling hopeless and unsure if you're worth it, it can be a difficult and lonely place to be. As someone who's struggled with feelings of worthlessness in the past, I can tell you that it's essential to confront the deeper issues that are driving these emotions. The problem is, it's not just about finding your strengths and good qualities - it's about understanding the nature of the human heart. As a Christian, I believe that we're designed to trust and love others, and when we're not doing that, we're disconnected from our purpose. Hopelessness thrives when we're not living in accordance with God's design for us. That's why it's so important to ask for help, to ask God for the Holy Spirit, and to seek wisdom from Him. It's not about pretending to be something we're not, but about being honest with ourselves and seeking to become the person God created us to be. Self-control is a vital part of living a thoughtful and careful life, and it's a skill that develops with practice. When we're tempted to give in to our desires, even when it hurts, we need to remember that we have a choice. We can choose to say no to sinful desires and instead choose to follow God. It's not always easy, but it's a crucial part of living a life that's connected to God's purpose for us. As the Bible says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God" (James 1:5). So, let's ask for wisdom, and let's seek to live a life that's guided by God's love and purpose.
