Good evening all, I am badly in need of your prayers. Lately, I find myself feeling unworthy. I do not pray for myself because it makes me feel ungrateful.

Why pray to God for myself if he knows my thoughts? I found a Godly woman, who appears to be interested. Why would she like someone as low as myself? Why would God want to hear me moan?

Brothers and sisters, I am unable to pray for myself. Please pray to God on my behalf.

I pray that the grace and blessings of Jesus Christ be revealed and poured out on you that you may know that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1. I pray that God blesses you with the renewing of your mind, Romans 12:12, and that it be revealed to you that if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts. I pray for obedience to the gospel where we are to pray and believe that He hears us: 1 John 5:15, "And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. We have been MADE righteous in Christ Jesus, through His faithfulness, Romans 5:1.

I pray that God blesses you with the right person in your life, who will love and adore you, respect and understand you.

May God bless you!

Those are good feelings to have go slow and don’t have sex before marriage. Don’t you feel that way about God too? Christian women love godly men. Don’t be proud be humble. Honest. One of my pet peeves. Get to know her real well.

I'm nearly 40 years old, I don't indulge in such things. The issue is that I feel inferior to everyone, including family, coworkers, etc..

So do I. Take those thoughts captive as in
2cor10:3-5. Get into your Bible and see what God has done for you.
They are only feelings, don’t dwell.
Be yourself. God loves you just the way you are.
Those feelings are a good start on being humble- very rare.

If you feel unworthy, you are being honest and realistic. The Bible describes the best of us as being unworthy servants.

He doesn’t ask us to pray when we feel worthy. H asks us to pray at all times. For ourselves and others.

Of course, we can pray to be less unworthy, though we will never be totally worthy.

We can pray for insight and strength to know what to do about our faults.

What I pray for you is to grow in Christ, so that you feel less unworthy, and that you keep praying for every need and every concern.

Christ didn’t die on the cross for the worthy. And he doesn’t want you to miss out on the blessings he has provided for you.

I also pray for you to do a study on prayer in the Bible, and this would be easily found on Google. And I pray that you will get more familiar with the Bible, and therefore, the Lord, in general.

I pray for @Hary89 that you would give him confidence in you lord and the power of your might. Please help him not to act on his inferior feelings but take them captive so they cannot harm him. The Bible says not to think more highly of yourself than you ought. Please bring up to that level as he improves his relationship to you, Jesus. We need prayer, reading of Bible and fellowship. But don’t do these to win a woman’s heart but because you know it’s right in Gods eyes. There is healing in our relationship with God because Jesus won it for us on the cross. In Jesus Name.

Feeling of inferiority are basically learned behaviors that produce depression, sadness, and shame about ourselves. If we don't know how to recognize what's going on, then it becomes very difficult to overcome. These feelings are simply attacks from the evil one, an evil spirit, that sometimes take hold when we are young. It may have been someone in your family who made you feel you were not worthy. When parents and even those in authority say negative things to children, they place curses on them that's hard to remove because that child believes the lie at a heart level. The inferior feelings are not yours though, they were PUT ON YOU by someone who the evil one was using. When children are attacked very early by the evil one, that's because that child has a heart for Jesus, and will be a might worker for Christ if allow to flourish. So the evil one starts very early to stop that lovely child from being a mighty servant for Christ.

You will need to understand what's happening to you because it is not of Jesus. Jesus Has made us free, however, we must believe, and if you suffer this type of inferiority, then you are not able to believe to be set free.

Pray that God remove this inferiority from you. Pray a prayer of confession: tell God that you are suffering these feelings of inferiority, and ask God to removed it from you. Ask Jesus to cast out these wrong feelings so you can serve him properly. Continue to confess and continue to ask Jesus to cast these feelings out. Ask Jesus to replace these feelings with love, joy, confidence, and patience as it takes time, but Jesus will answer.

Continue to pray, don't stop. I have actually felt the evil spirits lift up off of me and fly away during my prayers to Jesus to cast them out.

I pray for you; May God bless you and remove your inferiority, and cast out any and all attacks by the evil spirit from over your life. I pray you be given love, joy, peace, confidence and patience.

Father, we bring this member before You with all thanksgiving and praise for what You have given us through your Son Jesus Christ. Help him to see Your worth Lord, and how much You value him. A pearl of great price.
Help Hary89 be transformed by the renewing of his mind such that all he can do is praise You rather than moan at You Lord. In the name above all names of Jesus Christ.
