For Now

There are times when I don't feel I deserve anything, especially happiness. When it's a struggle to take delight in anything around me....people, nature, anything. Today has been one of those days. I'm finding it hard to be strong, to be the person God wants me to be.

I don't measure up and I'm constantly drowning in my feelings of inadequacy. I feel that in some way or another I let everyone I know down...and consequently myself as well. It's difficult to walk around with insecurities and burdens.

What's the answer? Will I ever be able to measure up? Will I ever be completely satisfied with who I am?

I would venture to say the answer is NO! that is not until I give it over to God.

Lord,
help me to surrender my struggles and burdens. I lay them at your feet.
