One question for everyone

[Stephaniej]

Have you ever felt as though you were not special to God? As if He looked over you and felt like you weren't worth as much as others?

 

[lizowens]

Lord Jesus, I ask for a special favor tonight! I ask that You would take an extra moment for Stephanie, put Your loving arms around her and squeeze her tight, let her know You are there and holding her, hold her heart in the palm of Your hand and wash her emotions in Your love, grace and mercy. Father You know the circumstances surrounding Stephanie tonight, I ask that You would make a mighty move on Stephanie's behalf, hear her cries to You, open Your plan for her and let Your light shine through today, in Jesus name I pray amen.

Stephanie, I'm sure I have. I don't today, and I haven't for a while. But its not because of anything I've done or accomplished. It's because I believe God's Word is true. God does not lie. And in His Word He tells me (and you) that He loves me, that He sent His own beloved Son to the cross because He loves me and He knows every hair on my head, and on and on. There are too many passages telling me I am worthwhile and valued in His eyes, to deny it. So if I start to feel that I'm less than in any way, I KNOW those thoughts are from the enemy. He would like nothing better than to deceive me, to make we waste precious time in self pity and self-hatred, virtually sidelining me from doing anything worthwhile for God. And he sits back laughing at me, that I bought his lies, again! It's the oldest game in the book, get them to take their focus of God, off truth and fill their minds with lies straight from the pit. And all the while God is saying, Hey look over hear, FOCUS on ME, not him! I LOVE YOU, no ifs ands or buts about it!

"For God so loved the world (that includes me and you!), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16

"Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who stretches forth the heavens alone; who spreads abroad the earth (who is with me?);"Isaiah 44:24 - You may say yah but He's talking to Israel there. Wait, we are grafted into the vine. We are His children too!

"He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become sons of God, to those who believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:11-13

"In that day you+ will ask in my name: and I don't say to you+, that I will pray the Father for you+;

for the Father himself loves you+, because you+ have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God." John 16:26-27

I Peter 5:7

Psalms 103

Matthew 15:44-45

Father, I lift up Your child Stephanie and pray that she receive this truth and take it into her very soul, and know beyond any doubt that she is a daughter of the King, that she has a divine purpose for walking on this earth, that she is SPECIAL to You like no one else, that You have a plan for her, and You have a place prepared just for her, where she may spend eternity in Your awesome presence, that You look forward to greeting her with a, "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into Your Father's Joy". God may Your Holy Spirit flood into the depth of her heart and spring forth like a river overflowing with the love of God. In Jesus' Holy Name, I ask this, Amen.

Lord, I too, lift up Stephanie to you, Just now. Lord, Fill her heart with so much Love that she can't help but to feel it overwhelming her spirit. Stephanie,You are very special to the Lord, he will not nor has he not forgotten you and he never ever will. I Promise you this. This that you are feeling is the enemy placing doubt, my love. Scream for him to leave you alone, You love the Lord, and he will leave you alone.

Dear Lord, I pray this passage for Stephanie just now Psalm 139

1.Lord, You have examined me. You know all about me. You know when I sit down, and when I get up. You know my thoughts before I think them. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know well everything I do. Lord even before I say a word, you already know what I am going to say. You are all around me-in front and in back. You have out your hand on me. Your Knowledge is amazing to me. It is More than I can understand. In Jesus Name I Pray this for Stephanie, Amen

 

[Angeline]

jesus loves me this i know for the bible tells me so , little ones to him belong, they are weak but he is strong, yes jesus loves me, yes jesus loves me, yes jesus loves me, the bible tells me so....stephanie, i have sang that song since i was a little boy in sunday school but have never really let it sink in...i constanly feel overlooked by god, disregarded and one of those that he always says no to....so yes i have felt like that and currently , obvoiusly by this post feel very much like that right at this very moment so you are not alone....but does he really hate me or do i just feel like that because he puts me through so much pain in my life..i dont know the truth but have been begging him to relent and love me and stop beating me,,but what choice do i have but to trust him even when i feel he is being unfair, unloving or unkind,,,but of course if he heals my marriage this week, then ask me how i feel...im sure i will sing a different song...paul the apostle said , I am convinced that NOTHING can separate us from the love of god, so even if i dont "feel" it i choose to beleive it,,,do i understand it? no. >>>>>>lord i ask that you let stephanie " feel" loved and honored by you,,let her sence your love and overwhelm her soul with the knowledge of your love for her...lord i ask that as you answer this prayer for stephanie that you would pour the same grace upon me..lord i need you, we need you..in jesus name amen

Think all of us have felt that way at times. It is the best way for the enemy to attack us, break us and pull us away from God. But if you believe God's word you know that just can't be true. GOD loves us so much that he gave JESUS, his son, to us. He watched Jesus suffer mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Although I know God wanted to swoop down and rescue his aching child, He didn't because He knew that His son's temporary suffering on earth would save each of US. He knew us before we were born and loves us more than we can possibly love even our own children. That is almost unimaginable, but it is true.

We just have to remember, hard as it is at times, that when we feel that way, it is a mean spirited trick from Satan himself. We have to have faith.

steph, i think i know what you are feeling. you feel unworthy and not good enough for the lord. the truth is none of use are....when we feel that, believe it or not, it's a good thing. paul said god must become greater and greater and we must become less and less. to me that means god in us, he must indwell in us so much that we seek his ways 24/7 and that our ways, our sinful ways must become less and less. makes sense to me. i've never heard of people going to church and truely worshiping to the lord and getting in the spirit and then going to the bar and cheating on his wife....just an example, the example being, he was never truely in the spirit, he was just worshiping himself. now that's just an example. you are the right path steph, when you are at your weakest point, jesus is closer to you than ever before. so maybe you are on the way of a breakthrough...i believe it steph and i pray for it. don't allow the devil to try to get you down, what the devil considers bad, that's precisely what the lord wants out of us, and that makes sense, there can be no darkness in light. god bless you steph, i will keep praying for you.

 

[K-J]

Absolutely. But not just with God.

I think we've all felt like our parents loved our other siblings more than us at times, treated them better.

I think we've all felt that our spouse didn't appreciate us in the way they should from time to time.

I think we've all worked for people who refuse to acknowledge our talent and worth within the company.

But as many have said, those feelings are two-fold. It's satan's way of trying to get us relinquish our self-esteem and value - and God's way of saying "HEY - I loved you enough to give up My own son - come near!"

Truth of the matter is that you ARE precious in His sight - you ARE the love of His life - you ARE His chosen one. If you are feeling any less than that, it's time to kick satan to the curb and take back your place of royalty, honor and unwavering love with the Father. These feelings are not of God, but He will help you through them if you'll just draw near.

Peace and blessings to you, precious sister! God loves you and so do I - don't ever doubt it.
