10 Life-Giving Biblical Journaling Affirmations For Self-Esteem When You Feel Unloved & Invisible!

10 Biblical Affirmations For Self-Esteem When You Don’t Know Your Worth

Why would someone need to know any biblical affirmations for self-esteem?

Sometimes as Christian women, it can be easy to believe that we have less worth to God in his kingdom and it can really take a toll on our self-esteem!

At least that is how I have felt in the past (and secretly sometimes still do). 

Especially when you read the Bible and learn that the roles that God defined for us don’t always line up with the roles the world has defined for us.

I know I have felt less than in Christian spaces because it does sometimes seem like women are not as important to God as men are.

But don’t worry…women really do have worth in God’s eyes. Just look around you; God has done and is still doing great and mighty things through women in various fields of life.

Not only that but if you read the New Testament, you will see just how valuable women were to our Savior, Jesus.

Today, I’ll share some bible verses that can help you get your confidence back. These biblical affirmations for self-esteem will remind you that God loves you no matter how you’ve felt in the past.

How To Organize Your Prayer Life

Is it just me or is keeping an organized and intentional prayer life a major challenge? It’s so easy to have prayer lists and requests stashed in multiple apps, random sticky notes, church bulletins, and in your already cluttered brain.

Who can remember everything and everyone they need to pray for? It’s overwhelming!

That’s why organizing your prayer life is so vital. Speaking with our Creator is paramount to our spiritual growth. Prayer is our spiritual cell phone that we can pick up anytime we want and speak to the King of Kings.

That’s why we can’t neglect our prayer life. Fortunately, with the steps I’m going to share with you today, keeping track of your prayers and petitions to God will be so much easier!

Plus, with one of my methods, you can record your prayers anywhere! So if you’re ready to spend more time with God in prayer, please join me as I share with you how to organize your prayer life.

Let’s get started with learning how to find time to pray.

Prayers To Get Out Of Debt: How To Humbly Ask God For Financial Blessings

Are you down financially and don’t feel the strength to say a prayer to get out of debt?

Perhaps you’ve found yourself in what seems like a never-ending cycle of unpaid bills.

Maybe you just had a car wreck.

A terrible divorce.

A loved one who’s very sick needs quality and costly health care.

Perhaps you made a poor financial decision that’s too late to reverse.

Whatever the case may be, I know it’s easy to feel hopeless and like there’s no way out.

I’ve been in a dark place financially too, and the last thing I wanted to do was pray. I found myself blaming God for my financial state, “Couldn’t He have stopped me before it got this bad? Does He not know I’m having it tough financially… I continued on and on.

But I have a merciful Heavenly Father, He knew I was only acting out because of the challenges I was going through, and in His mercy, He found me and helped me cry to Him genuinely.

Friends, no matter how dire your financial situation may seem, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and a God that can still turn things around in your favor.

He’s your heavenly Father; He sees your struggles and wants to help.

He’s inviting you to humble yourself before Him and ask for His financial blessings. He will answer and bestow.

In this guide, I’m going to give you some things to pray for that can give you the help you’re seeking.
