Scripture reveals that your identity comes from who made you and what He's done for you, not from what you do or what others say.

Prayer
Jesus taught us to come boldly to the Father in prayer (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, You are the One who created me and knows me completely. I confess I've looked for my worth in the wrong places—in accomplishments, opinions, and comparisons. Thank You that in Christ, I am already whole, already chosen, already loved. Help me live today from who You say I am, not from who I'm afraid I'm not. In Jesus' name, Amen.
