Encouragement Devotion: Overcoming Feelings of Inadequacy
You Are Enough Because God Made You Enough
There are moments when you may feel like you’re not good enough—like you don’t measure up, like you’re unqualified, or like others are more capable than you. The weight of self-doubt can be crushing, making you question your worth and your purpose. But here’s the truth: You are enough, because God has made you enough.
God never intended for you to define yourself by your weaknesses, failures, or comparisons to others. He created you intentionally, with purpose and value. You were handcrafted by the God of the universe, uniquely designed for a life filled with meaning and impact. Even when you feel inadequate, God looks at you with love and declares: "You are My masterpiece."
The enemy will try to convince you that you are not enough. He will whisper lies that you’re not capable, not worthy, or not loved. But God’s truth is greater than any lie. His strength is made perfect in your weakness, and His grace fills every gap where you feel like you fall short. You don’t have to prove yourself—you only need to rest in who God says you are.
Let go of the pressure to be perfect. Instead, embrace the incredible truth that God’s power is working in you, shaping you, growing you, and leading you toward His best for your life.

I surrender my self-doubt to You and trust in the plans You have for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
