Yes, I feel this way many times, even though I know he will always forgive and accept me. And it never fails, after I finally get on my knees and come to Him, everything makes sense and works out in the end. Of course- that is His plan! Steph Thank you for being so honest and open here.

Or other of the other comments I tell myself in order to "not" be "with" God - thinking I am unworthy of His love, His respect or even of Him being proud of me. I grew up in a family where ONLY the "bad" stuff was ever pointed out, nothing was good enough, and even when I bent over backwards to "do good things" - they were not rewarded with even a simple thank you, much less an "I am proud of you." So I guess I look for that, came to accept that what I do is not worthy of that, so I expect it from God. I am having a hard time getting around this and these thoughts - I miss getting to church weekly, it's just something I cant do now with Zachary - but thank you for your post, it's nice to hear and see that I am not alone!

I feel unworthy much of the time - satan has had lots of practice with me. But, I KNOW my God loves me and I KNOW He will forgive me. If we could all just keep that in the forefront of our hearts and minds, we could come into a place where shame is no longer such a stronghold. GRACE GRACE GRACE and more GRACE.

I really needed to read this post. I've had so many health problems lately that I haven't been able to get to church as much. I have the most overwhelming guilt about this and feel so unworthy of God's love and grace. I never looked at it as Satan trying to make me feel that way. That really puts things into a clearer light. Have you ever listened to Jennifer Knapp? She is my absolute favorite Christian artist and her lyrics seem to echo your sentiments about worthiness.

It feels so lame asking God to forgive me when I seem to sin in the same areas again and again. And if I allow the devil to keep harping on my unworthiness..instead of Christ's forgiveness ... it happens again. I think that's what I like about the reading the Old Testament - because it shows just how often God forgave the Israelites - again and again. It reminds me that God hasn't changed and that I'm forgiven ... again! Thanks, God for loving me so much!! I can't wait to get to heaven when we stop sinning - and hurting Him!
