13 Bible Verses for When We Feel Like We Are Not Enough
Marielle Buttram

We’ve all been there. Circumstances that life throw at us make us feel like we are never going to be good enough. We disappoint people. People expect us to live up to these impossible standards. We compare our beauty and success with other people and claim that, because we don't look like them or have the same successes as them, we aren’t enough. It can consume our entire thought process. Guess what? You ARE enough. God created YOU in HIS IMAGE. He does not make mistakes. Everything you’re currently going through is going to lead you to where you need to be. Do not give up. Do not feel discouraged.

When you start questioning your worth, here are thirteen verses to remind you that you ARE enough. You, my dear friend, are PRICELESS. God has this wonderful plan for your life. Keep the faith. Be strong. Be courageous.

1. Psalm 139:14

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

2. Proverbs 31:25

"She is clothed with strength and dignity: she can laugh at the days to come."

3. 1 Samuel 16:7

"But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for i have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'"

4. Genesis 1:27

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

5. Jeremiah 29:11

6. Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

7. Isaiah 43:1-2

"But now, this is what the Lord says — he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.'"

8. Ecclesiastes 4:4

"And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."

9. Isiah 41:10

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

10. Proverbs 3:15

"She is more precious than rubies."

11. Philippians 4:13

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loves us."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
