"Help me to perform whatever miracles you want of me today." Prayer To Increase Self-Worth and Self-Esteem Dear God, I have been told I am a sinner and unworthy because I am human. For, as a human being, I make mistakes. I cannot dispute that I make mistakes, God. It seems, sometimes, like my entire life is trial and error. The worst part is, sometimes, I make a mistake over again because I did not learn from it the first time. It is easy to judge myself and withhold love when I look at my life. After all, God, am I smart enough? Successful enough? Loving enough? Rich enough? Thin enough? Can I ever be? More importantly, have I given anything to the world that it really needed? Or have I concentrated on what I saw as my shortcomings, instead of giving what I had to give? I know how to criticize myself, Lord. I have been very good at it. Teach me how to accept and love myself as I am. For, although I am grown, it is my nature—my human nature—to keep trying things, as a child tries. As a child falls, I have fallen. That does not make me bad in Your eyes. It makes me brave. For I am resilient, and I never give up trying new things. Which is how You created me. You created me as a seeker. You gave me courage to fall and stand up again. You gave me curiosity that wants to know and see and experience. So, like a child, sometimes I get in trouble. Or, sometimes what I do winds up not feeling good. Guide me, Lord, so that I explore and savor life in safety, knowing I am worthy—infinitely worthy—of Your protection and love. Just as my infant child is worthy of my love when she falls, so am I worthy of my own love as I explore life. Fill me with love for myself. Transform me with new appreciation. Align me with my highest good, for You know I deserve it. I am worthy: —I am worthy of tender care —I am worthy of a life I love —I am worthy of loving friends and family —I am worthy of wonderful work —I am worthy of peaceful thoughts —I am worthy of a peaceful world —I am worthy of a healthy, happy body —and I am worthy of Your guidance and protection. And the miracle is, when I accept these things as my Divine Right, then I serve You better. I serve You at the highest level. I serve You in joy, in gratitude and in freedom. I have no agenda other than loving You and All That Is. So I accept my worthiness now, and I am made anew. I live in Your heart, bathed in Your love for me. You love me. I can do no less. Thank You, Divine Friend, Companion, Creator. You bless my life with such meaning. My life is my prayer to You. And so it is. Amen.
