When you don’t feel like enough, when you feel unworthy, when you feel like no one understands, when you feel like you don’t know who you are- God’s Word reminds us what we have in Him, and most importantly, who we are in Him. Take a moment and read over these verses. Put them in your phone. Write them on a post it note. Memorize them. Keep them close to your heart. They are truth, even when the lies of the enemy try to tell us otherwise. You are somebody!
1. “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith” Galatians 3:26
If you only could wrap your mind around who your father is. When the world overlooks you, only knows you by your issue, God looks at you and says “daughter”. When you feel rejected, misunderstood, lonely, remember that you are a daughter of the King!

3. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14 NIV

5. ” You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears your bottle. Are they not in your book?” Psalm 56:8 ESV

7. “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at the break of day.” Psalm 46:5 NIV
The Lord will pick you up when you fall and help you in your moments of weakness.
8. “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Proverbs 31:10 NIV
You are worth far more than anything that can be found in this world, not because of how you look, or how you talk, or your education, but because of your character- because of who you are!
9. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV

10. “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.'” 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV
When the world looks at your outside appearance, God sees your heart. That is where your true value lies, not in how other people see your appearance.

You are chosen. You are special to God. Even when you don’t feel special to other people, when you feel overlooked, God looked at you and said, I want you!
13. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14
Sometimes when life seems helpless and we are at a loss for what to do, we need to be still, knowing that the Lord will fight for us!
14. “My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hung me down relentlessly.” Psalm 31:15 NLT

17. “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12

Whatever you do, do not lose your hope! When you hope, he promises to give you new strength. It is through our hope in him that we are made strong.
19. “‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
His grace covers our weakness. And because of our weakness, God’s power makes us strong!
20. “Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous,. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
