Am I Enough?

This quote speaks to a very regular

topic in my prayerful conversations

with the Lord— as someone who

has always (since I was a little girl)

believed that I will never be enough.

And that perspective, when seen

and held through the lens of my trauma,

will always emphasize my inadequacy

in a way that cripples me.

But — when it's held through the lens

of Biblical truth, I'm able to reframe

it all and say, Lord, it's true— in my

own human frailty, I am not enough.

But the fuller truth here is that I was never meant to be.

it is in realizing that that exposes the

actual lie— it's not necessarily

that "I will never be enough”-

Though that is also true, in this

context (and what the enemy

would love for me to dwell on)

But more so, the lie is that I would

believe and succumb to the

unrelenting and unrealistic pressure to

be enough in the first place,

as though it were ever a burden

my Creator meant for me to bear.

Part of my personal lens of truth that I'm

trying to put before me throughout my

days is that it is IN OUR WEAKNESS

that His power is perfected.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Not in our striving for perfection.

Not in taking it all upon ourselves and

becoming our own gods. It is in Him

and Him alone that weak is made strong.

2 Corinthians. 12:10

That we could rise up on wings like

eagles— to run and not grow weary.

Isaiah 40:31

Let's seek Him today, friends.

In our motherhood, in our marriage, our friendships, our work, our thoughts.

"Some trust in chariots and some

in horses, but we trust in the name

of the Lord our God."

Psalm 20:7

He is the Good Shepherd John 10:11

He WILL refresh you. Jeremiah 31:25

He WILL be with you in the valley. Psalm 23:4

He WILL set a table for you. Psalm 23:5

This is who He is

& that is what He does.

Exodus 3:14, Psalm 102:27, Psalm 119:89
