Your insecurities have a hold on you
You've been rotten. You know it's true.
Whispers in your ear, voices in your head
Tell you always: you're doomed, you're dead
Cheating on that test, lying to your best friend
What were you thinking when you pushed send?
Too dumb, too fat, a face only a mother could love
You'll never be good enough to ever rise above
Invisible hands are choking, spirit chains will bind
When the light is fading fast, remember it's only in your mind
The past is gone, you can't go back and try once more
Now to remember not dwell and to look forward
Learn and grow
Your insecurities have no real control
They have no power
In God's love and mercy you are showered
Pray and give them all to the cross
Goodness and joy take the place of what is lost
For He knows your heart and He knows your worth
A beautiful working creation fashioned by God before birth
So never forget how beautiful, special, and loved you are
And shine brightly for the world. You are a STAR!
Lord God, we stumble and fall so often and are prone to sin. Many times, we become discouraged and listen to the voices in our hearts and heads that mock us, tell us we are no good and feed us negativity. We acknowledge that we fail. Please remind us that you always have and always will love and forgive us no matter what. We are your precious treasure and worth more than anything in the world in your eyes. Help us not to listen or give in to our many insecurities, and help us instead to rest in the security and knowledge that we do not have to live in the past, that the future is in your hands, and to live fully for you today. Remind us Lord that you have made us just the way we are, beautiful, special, and loved by the creator and ruler of everything! Thank you! Amen.
