A Prayer to Embrace Your God-Given Worth
By: Rachael Adams

Bible Reading: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:10

Read or Listen Below:

It’s easy to focus on our flaws, isn’t it? One comment, one failure, or one glance in the mirror can send us spiraling into comparison and self-doubt. I’ve been there—allowing the words of others or my own inner critic to overshadow the truth of who I am in Christ. But here’s the thing: we are God’s handiwork. That means we are intentionally and lovingly created by the Creator of the universe.

When we criticize ourselves, we devalue His masterpiece. We were made in His image, fearfully and wonderfully crafted with a purpose only we can fulfill. God doesn’t make mistakes. If He sees us as “very good,” why do we struggle to see ourselves that way? Instead of dwelling on our perceived shortcomings, let’s fix our eyes on the One who formed us and find our worth in His unchanging love.

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for creating me in Your image and calling me Your masterpiece. I confess that I often focus on my flaws instead of the beauty and purpose You’ve placed in me. Help me to see myself as You see me, with eyes of love and acceptance.

Remind me that my worth is not based on my achievements, appearance, or others’ opinions but on Your truth. Teach me to embrace who You’ve made me to be and to love myself as You love me. May I also see others as Your handiwork, reflecting Your image. Thank You for loving me just as I am. In Jesus’s name, amen.

In this episode of Talk About That, you will laugh along with stories about children’s books, volleyball mornings, St. Patrick’s Day, and even the questionable legacy of the Power Team, but underneath the humor is a thoughtful conversation about one of the deepest questions of faith: how God truly sees us. John and Jonnie reflect on weakness, mercy, and the struggle many believers feel in accepting that God is not only patient with them, but genuinely pleased to call them His own. It’s an honest, encouraging reminder that our relationship with God is not built on performance, perfection, or “having it all together,” but on His love, grace, and fatherly delight in His children. You'll come away challenged to see yourself less through the lens of self-criticism and more through the steady, compassionate eyes of a God who knows you fully, loves you deeply, and may just be rooting for you more than you realize.
