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

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

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

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

12. Romans 8:28

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

13. Romans 8:37

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

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
