Pressure from the world and the wounds of life might try to rob us of our identity. We are under so much pressure that we may even forget completely about ourselves. Maybe we’re too busy. Or perhaps people want to control us. In the end we lose a sense of who we are.
When this happens, return to the basics. Think about what’s really most important to you. Reestablish your core roles. Above all, build upon your identity as a child of God. This means spending time in his presence. So seek him.
Time spent with God allows you to understand and feel his love for you. You begin to realize how much you mean to him. The Lord’s faithfulness gives you confidence to be yourself.

Oh my gosh! That’s me. Why can’t I remember all the good stuff in my life instead of all the mess ups. Praise God for his patience and love.
Thank you Toni for sharing with us. Many blessings to you.

I feel like i am a failure. Im a failure as a mother, a student, friend and as a Christian
Dear friend… You can’t “fail” at being a Christian. It’s not a test… it’s a gift. Go back to the basics of your faith. Begin again. It is never too late. We never will measure up… that’s exactly why we need Jesus. You, me, everybody! Please don’t think it depends all on you. Instead, go back and re-build your trust in God first. You can do it! He is always there and waiting for you.
I will be praying for you!
