Bible verses for when you feel you are not enough
What does the Bible say about my worth?
You are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). God says, “I have called you by your name. You are mine” (Isaiah 43:1), and he “will rejoice over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17). Your worth does not depend on what you achieve.
For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
The LORD, your God, is amongst you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
But now the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burnt, and flame will not scorch you.
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
A prayer you can pray now
Lord, I feel small and not enough. Help me to see myself as you see me: called by name, loved, and yours. Amen.
