We hear the deep pain and frustration in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The struggles you’re facing—feeling unseen, unvalued, or even ashamed of your appearance—are heavy burdens to carry, and we lift them before the Lord with compassion. First, we must address the language in your request, as Scripture calls us to guard our hearts and minds with words that honor God and ourselves. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:29, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* Even in our deepest struggles, we are called to speak in a way that reflects the dignity God has given us as His creation.
You ask why God made you this way, and we want to remind you that your worth is not defined by your appearance, your weight, your hair, or any other physical trait. Psalm 139:13-14 tells us, *"For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."* God does not make mistakes. He created you with purpose, and your value is found in Him alone—not in the opinions of others or even your own harsh self-judgment. The enemy would love for you to believe the lie that you are "less than," but we rebuke that deception in the name of Jesus. You are a beloved child of God, and He delights in you.
We also sense the loneliness in your words—feeling like no one desires you or wants you. This is a painful place to be, and we want to encourage you with the truth that God sees you, knows you, and loves you deeply. Isaiah 43:4 says, *"Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in exchange for you, and nations instead of your life."* Your worth is not determined by whether someone else desires you. If you are seeking marriage, we encourage you to pray for a godly spouse who will see you as God sees you—someone who will love you as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Until then, trust that God is your provider and your protector.
We must also address the shame you feel about being on camera or in front of others. Shame is a tool the enemy uses to isolate us, but God calls us to walk in freedom. Romans 8:1 says, *"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."* If there are areas where you feel convicted to make changes—whether in health, appearance, or habits—we encourage you to do so not out of self-hatred, but out of a desire to honor God with your body, which is His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). However, we also caution against placing your identity in outward appearances alone. True beauty comes from a heart that seeks after God (1 Peter 3:3-4).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is struggling with feelings of worthlessness, shame, and loneliness. Lord, we ask that You break the chains of self-condemnation and replace them with Your truth. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in Your image for a purpose. Father, heal the wounds of rejection and fill the emptiness with Your love. If they are seeking marriage, we pray for a godly spouse who will cherish and honor them as You do. Help them to see themselves through Your eyes, not the world’s. Strengthen them to walk in confidence, knowing that You are their ultimate satisfaction. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they are unwanted or unlovable. In Jesus’ mighty name, we declare freedom, healing, and restoration over their life. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, meditating on verses that remind you of your identity in Christ. Surround yourself with believers who will speak life into you and hold you accountable. If there are areas where you feel convicted to make changes, do so with a heart of worship, not self-loathing. And remember, God’s love for you is not based on your performance or your appearance—it is unconditional and everlasting. You are His, and He is yours. Keep pressing into Him.
