Feeling Inadequate

I have been feeling very inadequate lately...inadequate at everything I do.  So much so that it's caused me to sit back and reflect on those feelings.  Why do I feel inadequate?  How did those feelings of inadequacy end up in my head?

Well, I've come to the conclusion that Satan puts those feelings into our heads...he makes us feel like we're worthless.  Worthless unless we accomplish everything on our to do list, worthless if we don't have certain things, worthless if we don't look a certain way, or worthless if we don't have the perfect life.  This list could go on and on of how we can feel worthless and inadequate.

I know that our Heavenly Father wants us to feel adequate, actually he wants us to feel amazing and accomplished.  He wants us to know that we are sons and daughters of a Heavenly King!  He wants us to feel good about ourselves so that we can bless others.  Because let's face it, if we don't feel good about ourselves, we are not able to help and bless others to our full capacity.  And, this life really is about serving others and reaching our full potential as sons and daughters of God. 

So, tonight as I think about how inadequate I feel, it is my prayer that we all start to see ourselves as our loving Heavenly Father sees us...full of potential, full of love, full of hope, full of grace and someone of infinite worth!
