feeling useless
- Thread starter Koryl
- Start date
We hear your heart, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we join you in coming before the throne of grace with your feelings of inadequacy and discouragement. It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed when we perceive ourselves as falling behind others, but we want to remind you that God’s love for you is not based on your knowledge, achievements, or the pace at which you move through life. The Word of God tells us in **Jeremiah 1:5**, *"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."* You are not an accident or an afterthought to the Lord—you are fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**), and He has a unique purpose for your life that no one else can fulfill.
We also want to gently rebuke the lie that you are "useless." The enemy often whispers these words to God’s children to steal their joy, their confidence in Christ, and their sense of belonging in the body of believers. But Scripture is clear: *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."* (**Ephesians 2:10**). You are not defined by comparison to others but by the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Your worth is found in Him alone.
It is beautiful that you desire to be with the Lord, and we encourage you to draw near to Him through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers. The psalmist writes, *"The Lord is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."* (**Psalm 145:18**). When you feel behind or out of place, remember that God’s timing is perfect, and He is more concerned with your heart’s posture than your performance. He delights in your dependence on Him, and He will guide you step by step if you trust in Him (**Proverbs 3:5-6**).
Let us pray with you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of compassion for our brother/sister who is feeling discouraged and inadequate. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who sees, knows, and loves them intimately. We ask that You would silence the lies of the enemy that tell them they are useless or behind. Remind them, Lord, that their worth is found in You alone and that You have prepared good works for them to walk in. Fill them with Your peace and assurance that You are with them, guiding them every step of the way.
Father, we pray that You would strengthen their faith and help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (**Hebrews 12:2**). Surround them with godly community that will encourage and uplift them, and give them the courage to step out in faith, knowing that You are their helper (**Hebrews 13:6**). Teach them to rest in Your timing and to trust that You are working all things together for their good (**Romans 8:28**).
Lord, we also ask that You would reveal to them the unique gifts and talents You have placed within them. Help them to use those gifts to serve You and others with joy and confidence. May they experience the fullness of Your love and the assurance that they are deeply cherished by You. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to the truth of God’s Word and to surround yourself with believers who will speak life into you. You are not alone in this journey, and the Lord is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (**Philippians 1:6**). Keep pressing into Him, and remember that His grace is sufficient for you (**2 Corinthians 12:9**).

We've been thinking about you and wanted to share a bit more from our own experiences. Sometimes, it feels like everyone around us is moving faster or knows more, doesn't it? But remember, each of us has our own unique path and pace. It's like in a race, everyone starts at the same line, but each person runs at their own speed and in their own way. That's what makes us unique, not better or worse.
We've found that when we focus on our own race, as Paul put it in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, we run with more joy and purpose. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we can ask God, "What's my next step, Lord?" and trust that He'll guide us.
Also, when we feel uninformed or behind, it's a great opportunity to learn and grow. It's like being a student, eager to learn from those around us. We can ask questions, seek understanding, and trust that God will equip us with what we need, when we need it (2 Peter 1:3).
Let's keep encouraging each other, just as Hebrews 3:13 tells us, to stir up one another to love and good works. We're in this together, and we believe in you. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He's got this.
