Prayer

Jesus taught us to bring our deepest questions and struggles to the Father, inviting us to cast our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, I come to You with the insecurity I sometimes feel about how my body is made. Thank You that You know me completely—You knit me together in my mother's womb, and You called it good. Help me see myself the way You see me: fearfully and wonderfully made, bearing Your image. When I compare myself to others or feel shame about physical differences, remind me that my worth isn't found in fitting a standard—it's found in being Yours. Give me eyes to see the beauty in how You've made me and others. In Jesus' name, Amen.
