A Prayer for Self-Worth

Stop shrinking yourself to fit into spaces that were never meant for you.

God, I've been making myself smaller to make others comfortable. Dimming my light so I don't stand out. Apologizing for taking up space. Enough. You made me on purpose, for a purpose. Restore my confidence in who You created me to be. I will not apologize for my existence today.

You were made to take up space — stop apologizing for the room God gave you. Amen.

When to pray this

Your worth is not a performance review. It does not go up on a good week or down on a bad one, no matter how convincingly it feels otherwise. Pray this when the inner voice has been especially loud.
