The lie I struggle with is my health. I never can tell people how bad my health really is I always try to cover it up by telling them that it isn’t no where near bad as it really is.
The lie I struggle with was when the enemy of our souls whisper in my ears that I am not beautiful enough….you see, I have suffered from acne during my teen years and also my adult years, this made me have a low self esteemed. I would remembered I would hide myself or my face with so much make up so it would not be noticed. Psalm 139:14, was a very significant for me, meaning I hold this verse dear in my heart for this is the verse that made me think that I am beautiful enough, just the fact that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by Him by our creator makes me feel beautiful….nothing that He has made that isn’t beautiful….of all the things that He created, WE are His Masterpiece., that is why in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he sent his one and only begotten Son that whoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”….
The lie: I am not beautiful enough, I am ugly, I am not significant.
The truth: Psalm 139:14; Matthew 6: 26
I struggle with the lie that I am not good enough… pretty enough….thin enough. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder on and off for 25 years. I long for true freedom!
Praying for you today Krissy! By the power of Jesus Christ may you be freed from this lie and see yourself the way He does!!
The lie I struggle with not good enough, ugly and not meant to overcome and be loved again
As I write this tears flow way too easy
The struggle it seems is much deeper
It’s a lie I don’t want to hold on to
I have a problem with telling people I just don’t have the money for certain things. I continue to over spend and get into debt. Helping people in need of things. I know I don’t have the money, but I will charge it or over look a bill I need to pay.
The lie that I struggle with is inadequacy. I genuinely worry about not being the best mother I can be. Whether I spend enough time with my children while trying to maintain a house and some personal time. I often feel guilty that I lack patience and that because this, it can cause a rift in my family. Growing up I had a constant battle with my mom, to this day (despite loving her greatly) we still have a difficult relationship because of our upbringing. I want to ensure that my relationships with my children are strong and they never question my love or intentions. I look forward to this study like the fear and anxiety study because I know I will find true growth from this study in my everyday life.
The lie I struggle with is…I need to worry about every situation. I have always felt compelled to want to control all my problems by worrying about any possible outcome, and problem before they even occur. I have learned a lot through the LGG app about letting go of my worry and truly giving it to God and letting Him take control because only He knows the outcome, and can control any situation I might find myself in. I need to believe and feel safe in His hands! Know my family is safe in Him! Worry and stress get me nowhere and I need to let go of that lie!
That is happening to me. Every day I worry for everything. I know God is with me, but
at the same time I am fighting with the lies.
The lie was, I am little miss shameful. My birth mother and her family stole me from my birth dad. I was passed around and an adoption scam happened when I was 2 and was abused including sexually and told it was my fault they abused me, got me pregnant then forced abortions on me. Human trafficking, child porn, and slavery.
My Y’shua is helping work through these issues. He is faithful and also promised he will reunite with my birth dad.
The lie I struggle with the most is that I’m not good enough to be loved. This has been something that has been a struggle for me most of my life. I’ve been told to change this or that and then you will be prettier or sexier. It’s so hard when I know God made me the way He saw. But then the ones closest to me say that it I would just fix my nose or my teeth, etc it would be better. I know God loves me as I am and I try to show others that
the lie i struggle with is always thinking that i will always be living at the poverty level and that i am not good enough to live like a daughter of a King .
The lie I believe… That God loves me based on my actions.
The biggest lie I struggle with is God don’t have enough time to help me when I am in a trail. I try to solve it by myself and don’t always give it to Him first and immediately. It is one I am still learning but I do believe He loves me and is a very patient Father. I know He is not finished with me yet.
God’s love is unconditional. He loves as the same in our good or bad days ?
The lie I struggle with is that I am not good enough: mother, friemd, sister, daughter.
Praying for you, Amy!
~Terria (LGG Encourager)
I struggle with the lie, that I am not good enough.
The lie that I struggle with is that I am not good enough. Feel like I am not good enough to be around.
Praying that God will free you from this lie!
~Terria (LGG Encourager)
The biggest lie that I believed was that God could not forgive me when in fact it was me not being able to forgive myself.
I still suffer with this same lie!
Praying for you Brenda!

Woman conference in Germany ???? Can you send me more information about this??
Lies in my live. I’m okay? What I do okay?? I’m loved?
Dear Abigail,
My name is Emily and I live in Frankfurt, Germany.
I am part of the LGG Translator team and currently planning the women’s conference in Sep.
Would you like me to send you some more information? If so how can I contact you best?
Greeting from Germany,
Emily
The lie I struggle with is that God is not really in control. I am being punished in some way.I spent 23 years on my knees in prayer for my alcoholic husband. Through two hurricanes, breast cancer and now a divorce it has been a long year…. It is easy to say where is God, but through it all I know he was here. It all could have been so much worse than it was. However, rising out of the ashes I still struggle daily with where my life is going. Reinventing ones self at 51 is not easy. Is God in control? I believe so. I guess I am just impatient with his timing. :0)
I struggle with the lie that I’m not good enough.
The lie I struggle with the most is that I have to fix my sins on my own instead of turning to God, asking for forgiveness, and following the word of God. He is the only one who can help me turn away from sin.
The lie I am struggle with is that I think due to some mistakes in the past my kids can not forgive me! and that make me feel I am also not good enough for God.
The lie I struggle with is self-love – that I am not good enough. I am workng on this through God’s grace and finally getting there. Most of this stems from growing up a pastors daughter and the feeling of having to be perfect, then a marriage of verbal abuse. But God is good and I am learning this is Satan’s lie not mine and tune him out and listen to God’s truth a out me – I am perfectly and wonderfuly made
The lie I struggle with is believing that I can handle my anxieties on my own. I give my fears to God, and then I snatch them right back up.
The lie I struggle with most is that despite what I say or do God still loves me
Hi all! The lie I struggle with is to accept myself physically and mentally. I need to stop comparing myself to others and remember that God made me THIS way. I believe it but I’m having a hard time living it everyday…
The lie I struggle with the most is that I am not good enough. I really need to stop comparing myself with others and just know that God accepts me just the way I am.
I think the lie I struggle with the most is feeling that I won’t be able to accomplish what God has for me in this life.
I can be deceived by the lie that God’s love is conditional. I think of my past sin or something I do in the present that is sinful and I begin to think what He will do to punish me. There are consequences to sin, but I need to remember He still loves me anyway. OR, I attempt to be obedient in order to gain His favor in a particular situation (in my mind, ‘surely if I do ____ then He will bless me with ___ ‘). His power and direction are His own– truly He can’t be manipulated so not sure why I allow myself to believe any different.
The lie I struggle with the most is that I am not enough. There is so much to get done and so many people that need help out of my resources that I know I am just not enough. However, I know that God is enough & he is in me. I just need to learn to grab hold of him and know he is enough.
The lie I struggle with is If Only…Then. Life will be better if only ____, then I would be ____. The blanks are endless.
The biggest lie I struggle with is that I am stuck.
Why? I feel stuck in situations of not being able to change. Not following through with a new habit or routine because I’m believing the lie that I can’t change. Another weight loss journey, another bible study program. How many have you tried and left incomplete ?
That continues to trap me in a stuck and suffocating situation.
Anxiety is the result of my lie that what I do is not good enough.
Biggest lie: That I have value or that I’m loved!
The lie I struggle with is about the impression people have of me….believing that I am diligent with my daily Bible study when, in fact, I put other things ahead of my personal Bible study time.
The lie I struggle with is that I’m “too much” and because of it my husband will leave. I know it’s from past hurts but some days it feels very overwhelming.
The lie I struggle with the most is that if I don’t take care of myself no one else will. I feel that during the course of my lifetime the people I depended on (mostly my parents, leaders, husband) to financially support, teach/guide, love unconditionally, support/encourage, protect or be there for me; simply did not or could not. Instead, time after time these people hurt me and/or betrayed me.
That I am in control of life, my life, my kids lives, my husband’s life. I can make everything better for everyone.
I struggle with the lie that I am only lovable if I am fulfilling all (self-perceived) expectations of me, both by God and others.
The lie I struggle with is that I will never measure up. I will continue to fail due to lack of self control.
The Lie I’ve struggled with most of my life is that I have to give 150% on anything I do just to be heard or believed. Stems from being attacked as a 12 yr old and the loving indifference I experienced when trying to tell my parents as the perpetrator was the son of our senior elder at church.
The Lie I struggle with is that my flesh is too strong and that I will never let God have victory in some areas of my life.
I’ve gotten much better believing this one. But I sometimes struggle with believing my sin is too great..I’m not really sure God will forgive me. I often think of tragic school shootings and think will God really forgive this person for committing all those murders?
Growing up in a strict household, I struggle with the lie that our dear, loving, Heavenly Father is always angry at me.
I struggle with a fear of failure. The lie is that I have to strive to be the best -at my job – mom- wife-friend… or I will loose God’s approval and all the relationships he has blessed me with. But I know His approval was granted through the blood of Jesus and more than anything, God wants my love and attention. When I fix my attention on Him first, He gives me the the love and energy I need to give to my Husband and Kids, friends and work. There is so much freedom in putting Him first vs trying to do everything else first to “please Him.” – That’s really the lie. That having it all together will please God when He knows I’m a mess and loves me right here in the middle of it.
The lie I struggle with is my self esteem and friends. I have lots of friends but am I good enough. I was not part of the cool and popular group in school growing up. I’m learning as a Christian that I am worthy in Gods eyes and not to value or care about what others think. God loves me.
One of the many lies I struggle with because of a lifetime of abuse Is that I have no value and am not worthy of love and protection.
The lie I struggle with daily is saying I’m blessed but still feeling envious at the end of the day. Envious of what others have, of others friendships, of others relationship with God. I thank God everyday for all of my undeserved blessing but at the end of the day I’m still envious. This is something I pray about daily. Lord please let my blessings be enough. Amen
The lie I struggle with is control. I feel I have to have the control of all aspects of my life. I forget that I need to hand it over to God!
It’s hard to choose one as I struggle with a lot of lies and fears. At the root of all of them though is the underlying thought of not being good enough and that I won’t ever really experience all God has for me. Somehow God just keeps overlooking me and my needs, esp financial ones, and it must be because I’m not good enough.
I struggle with the lies that I’m not good enough as a mom, wife, daughter and friend.
That I am not worthy
The lie I struggle with is I’m not qualified.
The lie I struggle with is that everything needs to be perfect or I’m not good enough
I am always telling myself that I am not good enough and my sin is too great for God to forgive. Through bible study I am working through these lies but they still creep in when I least expect it.
The lie I struggle with is worry and control. When things get rough and I can’t control what’s going on then my anxiety and worry start taking over. If I could just lean on God and remember that he’s got this for me then I would find peace.
My lie is that I appear to have it all together when I really do not.
I believe that all things are possible through Christ, but the struggles are the lies from the devil and I am weak in the battle with my tongue especially.
One lie I struggle with is that I have to be busy all the time in my Christian walk. I think that stems from an insecurity I keep having about God’s complete acceptance of me as His child and that I can be at rest confident that even if I couldn’t “do” for Him my status won’t change.
I struggle with the lie that I must be in control in order for things to be OK. That’s a lot of pressure that I am working on letting go and letting God.
The lie I struggle with that I am worthy of His love.
I struggle with the lie that who God made me and how I am (loud and goofy at times) isn’t how I should be along with I will never be good enough.
The biggest lie in my head is that I’m a failure as a parent
The lie I struggle with is that God doesn’t love me as much as others, and that He’s never answered my prayer for a husband because of all my past failures and mistakes.
The lie I struggle with is that I need to help others always, No matter what, and in that I can feel exhausted and alone. Whether as a mother, a social worker, a friend…it is rare that people aske me how are YOU doing. The lie is that I am strong and fiercely independent. The truth is I need God’s Hand and Love in all I do and I am never alone or without support!
The lie I struggle with is that I will never be financially stable. I would love to buy the journals but I am just not able. But I lie to myself that I will always be like this.
I struggle with the lie that I have no special talents or abilities in life or ministry that are as impactful as the people I see around me.
I struggle with the lie that I am alone. It’s a constant battle with my head to fight it. I feel like everyone is out to hurt me and leave me.
The lie I struggle with is really feeling insecure. I’ve always helped others all my life and still am. But nothing is given in return. I feel all alone and broken just about everyday. I’m in school and will be finished in two months. I have carried so many burdens and sin throughout my life. I know that I am being punished for some of these situations. But god please know that I am sorry and please forgive me. Just please help me to make it. Thank you Jesus!!!!!
I believe the lie that I have never been good enough, as a daughter, sister and mother. That I’m not worthy of God’s love and grace.
The biggest lie is that I continue to work hard for a company that will never fulfill me like the work God has for me or the time i’m taking from my family.
I struggle with the lie that I am to blame for my daughter being molested. The molester was my ex husband who confessed to doing the acts. However, just when I think I am back on my feet and doing well, someone will make a comment about my part in the situation – how could I not know? How could I not see? Then I start to think it was my fault. My counselor keeps reminding me that it is not me, but Satan attacking me. I put on my armor and quench the darts of untruth. Then while I am asleep, the attack begins again. It makes for some sleepless nights. Added into this situation, I have been fighting ovarian cancer for most of the same time frame. My testimony has become stronger through it all. Now if I can get rid of the lie that I am not good enough because I should have known and missed the signs.
The lie that I struggle with us that I feel I’m not good enough
I struggle with the lie that I can fix my problems and not depend on God. I believe the lie that I deserve the pain and suffering that I endure
The lie I struggle with is that everyone else has figured out life and is living it a little easier than me. They have ….a smoother marriage, better health, kids who listen a little better and a little faster, more financial freedom than me. I compare and feel that I fall short.
I struggle most with the lie- “just one more binge and you’ll be satisfied.” It’s never the last binge though. I’m always wanting more.
Self worth is my issue.
The lie I struggle with daily is that I AM A BURDEN. Also….I MUST BE THE PROVIDER. When I left my job last year to care for my 96 year old mother, I believed that this is what God wanted me to do. I nursed her back to health after 6 mths. and then she wanted to go to a more independent living situation (she is a very independent lady). After she left I thought…what are we gonna do now…..I left my well paying job of 23 years…..how are we gonna financially do this. My husband would say…”Are we okay today?” and “Has God met all our needs today?” and I of course would say yes but inside I’d be thinking…I’m just a burden now…I failed at taking care of my mother…..I need to help provide for my family….etc. So yes……I know God is my provider and that I am His child but there is that little creeping in lie:(
The lie is it’s for someone else not you. Maybe I haven’t suffered enough to be healed but the healing I’m believing for goes to someone else. Or in finances I’m struggling but yet someone i know who isn’t even a strong believer is having absolutely no hardship.
Grew up knowing I was never good enough. I had to do something to receive love. But we thank God for His Truth and Love that He freely gives us. We are redeemed and renewed by His Truth. We can overcome and break through the lies of the enemy through the power of the Holy Spirit!
The lie I struggle with is believing that I have to do something to earn God’s favor. That if I don’t perform or behave “right” , that His love for me is diminished somehow. Not sure why, other than in my family growing up, we were held to pretty high expectations.
I struggle with the lie that I need to have it all together and be on top of everything.
One lie that I daily battle against is that I am the ruler, not God. The sinful fear and pride reveal where my heart is before God. He calls me to have a posture of humility. I was reading in Proverbs recently of how He gives grace to the humble. The truth is that He alone is the Soveriegn Ruler. Our patient and gracious God loves for His children to be humbly dependent on Him.
I struggle with the lie that he loves me so much even after all I’ve done. So hard to believe that what he did on the cross covered all MY sin. So grateful for the free gift he gave.
The lie I struggle with is I was so bad in my past that God could not forgive all my sin
The lie I struggle with is that I am loved and good enough…loved as a wife daughter mom sister even by my sisters in Christ am I good enough at home church work…I know the enemy is the father of lies and to buy into them but they can creep into my thoughts so quickly…that’s why praying continually helps but I fall short of that and wham here comes the thoughts of not loved or good enough … I know to stand in victory with Jesus but the flesh gets weak especially around those that aren’t believers or other believers that battle the same lies
The lie I struggle with the most is feeling that I am enough. I feel as though the love I will receive is based on how much I do for others when I need to remember that God’s love comes with no conditions.
The lie I struggle with is where my actions begin and end and where God’s begin.
For example, I have a dream to start a retreat center, but I don’t have the finances to start it, so I wait for God to move. But while I’m waiting, I feel like I should be doing something. It’s too hard to wait. I also have difficulty with waiting on God for a husband…where does “wait on God” meet up with my own actions, and how do I know when God wants ME to move?
I am currently 8 1/2 months pregnant with our second, which has put a hold on physical intimacy in our marriage due to discomfort/pain. I always become insecure in my relationship with my husband when we can’t connect and that reflects on my relationship with God. Doubting Him, his goodness, fidelity, my worth, etc. I know it is false and have fought to remain in the Word daily to battle these feelings and have been open with my hubs. He’s been great at seeking to encourage my heart but the accountability this LGG Study offers really helps me stay grounded in my time with God – not neglecting Him due to exhaustion or discouragement but seeking Him out with my sisters and learning more about His character and good good plan. Thank you for ministering to my heart need!
I struggle with the lie that I’m not good enough and that I’ll never change.
One lie I struggle with is that I’m not good at enough things and people will not like me because of this.
The lie that I’m really struggle with gas to do with my husband and how I’m very disappointed in some of his actions. God knows my struggles, and I’m keeping them to myself bc I don’t want to start a fuss. Prayers needed to learn how to deal with it.
I struggle with the lie of critical comments made by others. Looking forward to this study ..
I struggle with guilt daily from what is out of my control. I try too hard to make others happy at my own expense.
I struggle with the lie that God doesn’t love my children as much as I do. It is difficult for me to surrender them to him each day and trust that he will care for them better than I can. I always want to have control, forgetting that he is forever in control.
Does God really love me that much? Am I enough being who I am? I can believe He loves you & forgives you far better than believing it about myself. This struggle stems from a legalistic upbringing which I have battled into my adult years.
The biggest lie I face is that I am not good enough. I know it’s a lie from the enemy. My verse for the year has been John 17:17 “Sanctify them in the truth, your word is truth.” ESV I have been purposely memorizing scripture, the more truth of God’s word in me will grow me up in my identity in Christ. It’s all about who he says I am. I am his beloved daughter. Yay Jesus!!!
I struggle with the lie that I will never be a good enough wife/friend/daughter/mother. Guilt is hard!!
I will never get it right.
The lie I struggle with is “I’m/It’s fine.”
I really struggle with the lie that I have to impress the world, that I need to worry about my body image, what I have on, what shoes I wear, my hair, my makeup constantly trying to keep up with the world – what a daily stinkin battle this is! When Christ tells me all that matters is what He thinks of me, where my heart is, where my walk is with Him. My husband had a problem with pornography and with sending texts with another women with naked pictures of himself and this other women. It has been about 3 years now, but it has so affected every inch of me personally. I have forgiven him, but it is within me that I have the problem with – I don’t feel good enough.
One lie I struggle with is that I’m not worthy.
Sometimes I am so tired and I just want to not do anything.
The lie I struggle with is when I am asked how I am doing and I say good even thou it isn’t good. I want people to think I can take care of myself when I really could use the help of a friend.
The lie I believe is that my disappointment in my adult son’s current situation is my fault. I didn’t do my job as a mother good at all.
I struggle with the lie that says “what I am able to do is not enough – that I should be able to do more.”
The lie I struggle with is that there really isn’t a personal God who loves me and cares about what happens in my daily life. As a result, I have struggled lately with a sense of hopelessness, anxiety, loss of faith in things I once believed. It’s been a difficult 3 years.
I struggle with letting others know I am not as all put together as others think.
The lie I struggle with most is “You are not important and what you have to say is not important; that is why people don’t consider your ideas as helpful.”
I struggle with am I doing good enough in my Ministry position? I feel like a failure. I know the enemy seeks to destroy, but is it coming from him or am I just failing that bad?!?
I struggle with the lie that I am not good enough and I don’t or haven’t done enough.
The kid i struggle with is being enough. I’m not enough to be someone’s friend. I’m not enough to hold a conversation with.
I definitely struggle with the lie that I am a “bad mom”. Any time my kids don’t succeed or behave the way I feel I’ve raised them to or expect them to, it’s automatically a failure on my part. I struggle with the lie that I’m not enough for my kids or my husband and seem to constantly beat myself up over these lies. Looking forward to this study!
My biggest lie is that now that I’m 70 I’m of no use to God. I am a missionary but this year not having any specific job to do with my organisation makes me feel useless. I’m believing the lie that I need to be useful to God.
Hey! Hmm, the lie I struggle with most… it’s two fold in a way. I feel like I’m a horrible person. That I’m not good enough and that God is punishing me. I literally bad talk myself constantly: I’m so fat and unhealthy. I’m ugly. I’m lazy. I’m not smart at all. I’m disorganized. I’m a horrible mom, sister, friend, wife, daughter… I’ll never amount to anything. So, I’ll just never be good enough so God is punishing me. ???
My lie is not being able to.vet pass my ego and to let God take over.
The lie that he won’t heal my two year old daughter bc of my lack of faith.
The lie I struggle with is, I am not a good enough in any aspect of my life (wife, mom, job)
The lie I am struggling with the most right now is that I don’t have a purpose in life. Honestly, this one has been a struggle for me for years. I look to many things (school, hobbies, etc.) to find a purpose and I seem to fail at them all which makes me very discouraged and depressed. I am probably looking to the wrong things for my answer.
The lie that I struggle with most is that my actions determine or at least contribute to my value. (Not true at all! God has chosen us and loved us and adopted us as His children. It’s all about Him. This is what makes us valuable. I know this, yet I still find myself struggling with the lie that my actions increase or decrease my value.)
A lie I struggle with daily, is not being good enough at anything, wife, mother, daughter, Youth Pastor. I fall short everyday, and the enemy is constantly putting that in front me.
That I’m not enough. Probably because I think I’m supposed to have something to add to God’s grace. Like I can!! Thank You God that Jesus, IN me, is more than enough!!
I struggle with the lie that my worth is based on whether or not I am able to be “good enough” (especially in the eyes of others). I want to cling to the truth that my worth comes from who I am in God and not from my performance or what others think of me.
I struggle with the lie that while God loves EVERYONE, somehow I fall short and either have a smaller portion of His love, or I am in the shadow of His love rather than in the full light. I know truth in my head, but struggle with getting in those 12 inches south to my heart…..
The Lie I believe the most is that my sin is exempt from Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, I have to do and say all the right things and start operating out of my own self sufficiency which is never enough instead of the all sufficiency of Christ. I spiral as I realize I can’t live up to the standard I place on myself for something the grace of God had freely given.
One of the biggest lies I struggle with is that I don’t amount to much for God. I don’t make a big enough difference for Him & I never will
I’m looking forward to the study! I struggle with a lot of lies that I believe. Of course the one where I don’t measure up, I’m not good enough to be doing what I’m doing is hard. Especially when I have my own business, in marriage, and family. But also the lie where I believe it’s more important to please man then God, that one is so easy for me to fall into. Where I become complacent to be a light. The last few studies have been good for me regarding that. Thanks!
Some of the biggest things I struggle with are worry and anxiety. Your emails help to reassure me each morning!
The lie I believe is that I am in control of what happens in my own life.
The lie I have struggled with all of my life is that I am not worthy of love. That includes God’s love.
I sometimes struggle with is anxiety / fear. Seems I am winning in other areas but our 2 sons are not on board with my husband and I, but in the Name of JESUS I will not allow it to take my JOY !
I struggle with the lie that I am unable to forgive myself for everything in the past m, knowing that God has forgiven me.
The lie I struggle is that I’m not good enough. That people can’t like me or want to include me because of my weight. It has haunted me my whole life.
Lies. There are so many that I recognize and I’m certain there are a few I don’t. I’m a youth leader at our church with about 15 students. Did I hear God right about my part in this ministry? Am I really letting Him lead? Where is the line between His sovereignty and my effort to lead His kids? Doubt. That’s the biggest lie. Because God is absolute Truth. So why do I doubt?
The lie I believe is that I am not smart enough. I’ve struggled with this lie my whole life.
Thanks for the giveaway.
The lie and battle I struggle with is not being beautiful enough or good enough for others approval. That terrible insecurity that i have to please everyone so they accept me when I KNOW that I’m accepted by THE ONE that only matters.
The lie I struggle with is that I need others to like me. That I need to please others and be good enough for them. When in reality I know I only need to live pleasing unto God. His opinion is all that matters.
I will never be able to fulfill the purposes God has for my life. I am unable to get it together enough to move in what he has designed me to do/be. My time is eaten up being useful to others. No one sees me beyond my utility. I am invisible otherwise.
The lie I struggle with the most is believing I am unable to do various things because of being anxious. The truth is that I can do all those things through Christ in spite of how I feel at the moment.
The lie I struggle with is I’m not as good as___________. Whatever you can think of I can put in the blank. I might be really good at something, but I compare myself to everyone else and never feel worthy of compliments I receive. I always think, “If they only knew me they would think I am such a fake!”
The lie I deal with is I am too old to be relevant any more.
I continue to struggle with the lie that I am not good enough and that God cannot use me. At one point in my life, this lie screamed at me as though it were being shouted through a megaphone! I would refuse to look in the mirror because I hated what stared back at my. How could THE Perfect God love me when I cannot even love myself, and boy have I let God down more than I have let myself down. It made no sense to me, until God grasped my heart and whispered His ever calming, reassuring voice into my ear and so clearly said that His love for me is not based off my physical appearance, even though I am made in His image, but based off the fact that His Son’s blood covers me and I am an adopted daughter. That lie that I had listened to for most of my life has gotten quieter and quieter over the last few years, but at times it is still there. Satan seeks to steal, kill and destroy. I have to fill my mind with God’s truth so that when Satan tries to convince me of lies I know the difference between the actual and the false.
The lie I struggle with is believing that I’m not good enough and that God hasn’t given me a husband yet because I’m not enough. Fighting this lie every day because I know God created me and I am enough for Him and that is all that matters! Jesus died on the cross for me!
The lie I struggle with is that I am not alone – having gone through loss of my dad and my mother’s Alzheimer’s, I feel as if I have lost core people who have my back. I struggle with feeling alone at times and have to remind myself that God is always with me.
UNDERLYING THEME- self worth!
Why do we all struggle with this. I am reflecting today on Romans about the different gifts given to us! Help us to recognize what these gifts are according to his Grace!!
I struggle most with the lie that I’ll never be free of past sins, even though God has redeemed me since then. I’ve lived free from them for years but I still struggle and believe the lie that I will always be enslaved to these sins, even though I KNOW that’s not true!
I struggle most with feeling worthless. My first husband left me for another woman and I had been told by another man I dated a couple times I was “damaged goods”….divorced with two children no decent man would ever want to marry me. I AM remarried and we have a five year old, but I just can’t shake that feeling that is there because my ex left me and what the other man told me. Also, my oldest, she is 17, she decided the week of her birthday to stay with her father. She didn’t tell me, he did. And she’s been given a car can go anywhere she pleases whenever she with whoever. Allowed to have her b/f in her bedroom. And is now drinking and smoking….not just cigarettes, but the vape things and marijuana. None of this was EVER allowed at my house. I feel like I’ve failed her as a mother. My 15 year old has decided to stay with me and my ex has harassed her and myself because he wants her too, maybe so he doesn’t have to pay child support, I don’t know. I just feel at my lowest and that I’ve failed everyone.
The lie I struggle with most is that I am not good enough and that God can’t use me. At one point in my life, this lie was so present that I could not even look in the mirror because I hated what stared back at me. How could The Perfect God love me when I couldn’t even love myself? God grasped my heart and whispered His ever calming and gently voice into my ear and said that His love for me is not based off my physical appearance, even though I am made in His image, but it is based off the fact that I am covered in the blood of His Son and am an adopted daughter. He loves me. He has called me and will use me. That lie has grown quieter and quieter over the years, even though there are times when it screams at me as though it were being shouted through a mega phone. But I have to fill my mind with God’s Word and Truth and allow Him to fill me, so that when Satan comes at me with lies, I can discern between the real and the false.
The lie I struggle with is feeling like a constant failure. God has given me more than I can handle and this shows Himself strong… all the time! But I struggle to keep running the race well and with endurance.
I struggle with believing that “if I only made more money, lost more weight, had thicker hair”, etc. that I would be so much happier. This lie makes me look at other people who appear to be happy because they have things I want and think that if I too had that I could be as happy as they seem to be. I have to remind myself that happiness comes from a relationship with God and nothing else will bring me true joy. I also see that I would never trade my whole life for someone else’s whole life. I only want bits and pieces from others to add to my life. This reminds me that nobody is perfect, has it all or is 100% happy with themselves through their own doing. Only a relationship with God can create that. Yet, this lie still visits me on occasion.
I struggle with the lie that I am not good enough. The world says give me more and I am trying my best. I am trying to remind myself to rest and put God first and allow His grace in my life.
The lie I struggle with is that I think I can do everything on my own. I tell myself that no one should or could want to help me with problems that I face.
I struggle most with feeling like I’m not good enough. I have health problems that keep me from doing what I want to do. It’s a constant battle mentally and physically. I have so much I want to do but physically can’t. People don’t understand. They look at me and see nothing wrong so act like I’m lying. They push me away and don’t try to see what’s going on inside my body. Only God knows and truly cares. He’s the one who keeps me going everyday.
The lie: I’m not good enough
How do we all wonder and question if we are enough? While Reading these comments saddens me, I know I’m not alone. We women struggle to ever feel enough as a wife, mother, friend, daughter-not to mention our job/occupations. God, use this study to end these lies that fill our heads. Amen
It seems that like so many others, the resounding lie we most deal with is or self worth. That we are not worthy of God’s love for one reason or another. Not good enough…we don’t deserve his love..?how would he even want to love me….I certainly know the truth, but can’t seem to let the lie go for good….
My lie: I am invisible.
I struggle with the lie I’m not pretty and struggle with depression and anxiety.
I struggle with being good enough…funny enough..healthy enough
The lie the enemy is bombarding me with this past year is that I have a right to be right! My husband is a wonderful man, the kind of man that can do literally anything and excel at it. Everything he does is “right” and good. He loves me and helps me to grow encouraging me to be all that I can be. He’s such a gift and a blessing to me. But he isn’t a follower of Jesus. I long for him to fall in love with Jesus. The enemy’s tactic to thwart that this time is to fill my head with lies that say ;“your heart is too heavy to bear this anymore, his love isn’t for you it’s for himself, it’s your turn to be right in everything you do, being right for a change is your right!”
Vicious lies! I stand before my all perfect, all loving, all powerful Creator, righteous only because of the Righteousness of my Savior! We will have our 39th anniversary the end of this month. Years I would not trade for anything because God is Right and Good in ALL He does!
I looove all of the LGG studies I have done over the past year or more. I struggle with the lie that I am not important to others – they don’t need me. My goal this year has been to put myself out there and reach out to others. Let go of my schedule and reach other women for Christ. We all have struggles and I am and can be impactful to others for the cause of Christ.
I struggle with the lie of fear. The enemy tries to make me believe horrible things.
I think the biggest lie I struggle with is self worth. I have physical limitations too. It is frustrating not being able to contribute physically to projects we are doing at church and not being able to help!
The lie I struggle with is the lie that says I don’t have enough time/energy/creativity with my busy schedule to be an effective servant for Christ.
The lie I struggle with is fear and control. I feel the need to control every aspect of my children’s life and fear all the possibilities that could go wrong.
I think the biggest lie I struggle with is related to food. Believing food will make me feel better or relieve stress, when all it does is effect my health and my weight which ends up effecting me physically and emotionally.
There are many lies I believe – the enemy whispers that I’m weak and can’t actually do what I want, like lose the 15-20 lbs I’ve put on, successfully complete a bible reading goal, become a consistent prayer warrior and maintain my daily time in the Word, exercise regularly…summed up to really say “I’m not good enough…to do or become anything important.” I know it’s not true but my self confidence says otherwise. I’m having my 11 and 14 year old daughters do it alongside me this summer too.
I struggle with the lie that I’m not good enough — it seems to come up all the time.
The lie I struggle with is my past is not forgiven.
The lie I struggle with is when people ask me how I’m doing and I answer back with I’m doing great when really I’m dying inside. But, no one seems to care and they never ask why?
The lie I struggle with the most is God love to/for me is conditional.
The lie I struggle with is that I feel as if I am constantly trying to do better, improve at any aspect in life, but I quickly let negativity and doubt derail me. It’s never enough sets in.
The lie I struggle with is failure. I afraid I will fail at being a good mother, a good wife and good at my job. I didn’t have the greatest female role models in those areas so I think I have to take care of everything myself instead of leaning on God for guidance.
Hello!! So excited for this study! I already purchased my Truth Over Lies Study book from amazon (just arrived on Saturday! Yay!) but would like to do the study with a friend.
The lie I struggle most with is that I must earn or deserve and maintain my standing with God. This lie is so prevalent and insidious for me! I so often fall back into the thought processes that I have to work and be a good enough Believer or I will be disqualified and that the Lord will reject me; that I will find out in the end that He never really loved and accepted me as His own. Typing this, it sounds so sad. Praying this study helps to solidify the Truth once again and helps equip me to stand against the lies!
Believing that if I can only control my circumstances to my liking then I will be” happy” instead of trusting God’s sovereign plan whatever the outcome is best and good for me.
I struggle with the lie that I am still and never will be worthy enough of complete forgiveness or anything else. This lie flows into and feeds my insecurity as a mother, wife, friend, working mother, homeschool mother, etc. I struggle daily to believe that I am worthy to be rescued, healed and helped.
A lie I struggle with is that I’m not good enough, or that I can’t achieve X… I get overwhelmed and then get behind, and then don’t believe I can get back on track/caught up…
The lie I struggle with everyday, is that I’m not worth loving. My marriage is in shambles and I’m falling apart.
The lie which I always fall victim to is feeling like I’m not enough. From not feeling like I’m doing a good enough job to not being a good enough mom, the. It’s not a good enough wife, other times it’s not pretty enough or not thin enough, not smart enough….. it all boils down to simply not feeling like I am enough. I’m not a perfectionist but many times I expect close to perfection from myself. But in my heart I know I am enough for The Lord, my mind just goes on wild goose chases and the world distractions me from the truth. It’s something I struggle with often.
The lie I struggle with is being good enough. Am I a good employee, wife, mom? Getting it all done and being there for everyone is a constant struggle, forget ever having time to do anything for me.
The lie I struggle with the most is I’m not enough. I’m not enough to be the best wife or mom. I can’t keep meet the needs of my husbands or spend enough time with the kids while trying to keep the house clean, cook dinner every night, and work full time. I know will not give me more than I can handle but I get so overwhelmed trying to keep up I start felling as if I’m not enough!
I struggle with the lie that I am not enough. I feel that the Lord’s love is contingent on what I do for Him. I’m currently getting my master’s degree in counseling and it’s dredging up a lot of stuff. Something that my counselor told me that God loves ME. Not what I do. That He is in the business of healing and that this process of bringing up everything in my is because He cares about me and wants me to heal.
The lie I struggle with most often is that I somehow am not measuring up, not doing things right or well and often feel I have to “make up for” whatever the circumstance might be. I struggle with fear that I won’t be loved or accepted if I mess something up. I’m learning more about grace and trying to apply it and rest in it
The lie I struggle with is that I’m not enough. No enough of anything.
The lie I struggle with is when my husband or anyone tells me I’m beautiful. I am always so worried about what others think of me and in always comparing myself to other people so I always feel like I’m not good enough or pretty enough and I want to stop doing that and be my own person and feel good abour
Myself in my own skin. I want to be happy and stop thinking those are lies and they are truths !!
The lie that controls me is that I can’t forgive mysels even though God has. I was caregiver for
My husband for 8 years. Last year he was in the ICU for 11 Days. The doctor said we should discuss whether to call 911 the next time it happened because it would. They let him come home and that night it did happen again. I wanted to call 911 but he said no he wasn’t going back to the hospital. I didn’t call and he died the following day. I feel guilty over this and can’t forgive myself.
I struggle with the lie that my calling doesn’t really matter and I should quit.
The lie I have struggled with is that I am not good enough. I have often questioned my value outside of being a mom and wife.
The enemy’s lies I struggle with are that I’m not good enough and that some of my previous sins, that I’ve confessed and asked forgiveness for, are too bad for God to actually forgive me for.
The lie I struggle with is that I am not worthy enough, sometimes for God and then at times for a Christian man because of past relationships that were not pleasing to God and weren’t according to his standards. I struggle with this in my mind so often. Whether someone who is after God’s heart will want me now even after changing my life around.
The lie of everyone else seeming to have a simpler carefree life. I tell myself that their lives are better than mine. If only I could do what they do or have what they have
The biggest lie I am currently dealing with is that God will not supply all my needs completely. I am working on be a good steward of all His gifts! ?
The lie that I struggle with is that I don’t know the Bible well enough yet to be used by God and that the little things I do to serve him are not significant. The truth is that we are all seed planters and we are fulfilling our call with every little seed we plant.
The lie I struggle with is that I am unlovable. I know that can’t be true because God made me and He loves me.
I struggle with the lie that I’m stronger than I really am. I reach out to others often because it makes me useful. When you help others , you don’t have time or the energy to dwell on self. I wish I didn’t have to be the strong one all the time and that someone could really see me, my fears, my weaknesses, and come along beside me, to help me.
I struggle with the lie that “it’s my responsibility”. I’m over responsible, naggy, and try to be the Holy Spirit — which is obviously too much of a burden for any human!
The lie I struggle with is that my broken past and failures are judged by others and therefore, I feel as if everyone looks down on me. I pray over this daily. It’s a constant battle for me. I have believed some lies that caused past failures, which I have come to regret. But this is a recurring battle that I would love to once and for all bury and believe God’s promises instead of the pointing finger of the enemy who always tries to get me down.
I struggle with being capable to do the work that God has blessed me with. The lie I “hear” is that I am not skilled or smart enough, which just shuts me down and makes me want to quit. So, I run to my Father; and the Holy Spirit breaks through the noise in my head. He reminds me that God has given me the opportunity to lead the ministries I’m leading and He is ultimately in charge. So, I just need to rest in Him.
The lie I struggle with the most is that I have to do everything right in order to receive the Lord’s love and blessing. I AM blessed. Just because something bad is happening in my life doesn’t mean that I’m not loved by my Father.
I struggle with the lie that “I am not smart enough or know enough”> I feel can’t lead a Bible sturdy or tell others about God’s truthes because I have not gone to college or a bible training course to know enough.
I wrestle with the lie that I am unworthy or unwanted because my earthly father abandoned me. Not easily overcome
The lie I struggle with the most is that I am not good enough to be loved. I struggle with this the most because when I was younger I was promiscuous and then when I got married I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. I have struggle in relationships ever since my husband passed away even though I have gone through healing because in the back of my mind the thought always lingers that I’m just not good enough. As I see so many happy couple and I remain single it just exasperates these feelings for me.
I think the lie which often rears its ugly head is that I am not competent enough to do _________. And yet, as I rely on God, He makes me competent to face the task every time. So looking forward to the study!
The Lie that i struggle with most is that because i didnt lead my kids toward God when they were children that now they wont be saved because time is running out and thats my fault. Time IS a precious gift ! All i can do now is live as an example now and encourage them to do the same .
The lie I struggle with is that God is looking to punish or find fault. As a kid my aunts were always looking for what I did wrong and not what I did right
I struggle with the lie that I am not enough. Satan whispers in my ear, “You are not smart enough, good enough, nice enough, happy enough, helpful enough, etc”. His favorite one is, “You’re not a good enough mother.” Maybe I believe this because my dad took out his inadequacy on me. Honestly, though, I think I believe it because I give Satan more power over my life than he actually has. He uses a handful of events with my dad to keep that thought alive and active. If I could only remember that nothing in all creation can separate me from God, then I can overcome the lie. Simply put, Satan was created by God. If nothing God created can remove me from God’s hand and Satan is God’s creation, he has no power over me.
I struggle with am I enough. At work, in service, with my husband, children, parents. Am I doing enough for everyone, am I enough for myself?
The lie I struggle with is accepting that Im good enough. I grew up in a family where my mom was a perfectionist. Nothing was good enough for her, my best wasnt good enough, I had to try harder, be better. I know the verses, Im created in his image, God’s grace is sufficient, I can come to him just as I am. Its hard for me to accept that He accepts me for who I am with out having to be someone Im not. I have had family tell me Im not good enough, boyfriends tell me Im not pretty enough, companies tell me Im not smart enough or dont have enough qualifications. I am almost 36 years of age and its all I have ever heard. This is my lie
The lie that I struggle with is that I will never complete anything and I will never move past a mediocrity. Bold face lie! I am in a place in my life where my heart has been changed and I want to go towards God the Father like never before in my warrior stance fully covered.
The lie I struggle with most is my self-worth. Satan tells me I’m not smart enough to go to book clubs or talk to others about bible studies. He tells me I’m not good enough, that I have not accomplished anything in my life and that I’m not likeable. That Satan has a way of making us believe the lies he feeds us.
I’m not sure if I’m wording this right but I struggle with feeling worthy of God’s forgiveness, love, and grace. I feel so undeserving and unworthy I have trouble believing those things apply to me.
I struggle with the lie I am not ever going to get things under control, like my weight, my finances or my house.
The lie I struggle with the most is that although God CAN, He won’t for me because of the choices I’ve made and the person I am.
I struggle with the lie that I will never get my weight off and be healed. I feel like such a big disappointment to God because I want to serve Him, but once I get started, my body hurts. So here I sit once again nursing the hurting knee that probably needs surgery, but I weigh too much for it to be successful in relieving the pain.
Worst, most harmful lie I struggle with: Being saved through faith is enough and I can relax in the promise of eternal life.
Truth: Jesus calls us to action and our salvation does not entitle us to laziness as far as contributing to the body of Christ and shining our light into the darkness.
Lie I most often struggle with: I can do this.
Truth: I can do nothing without Jesus.
I struggle with fear. The enemy whispers lots of what ifs into my life. He wants me to believe that God isn’t really with me like he says he is and that he won’t take care of me and my family. I know he’s a liar though and by God’s truth renewing my mind I fight from victory! (I just finished the Fear and Anxiety study and I already feel like by God’s grace I’m gaining ground in my struggle.) I can’t wait for the new study to start!
So. Many. Lies.
One of the biggest lies I struggle with is that I am not worthy of anything good in life. God’s Love, opportunities, blessings, relationships, etc.
I know the truth of the word. I know my husband and my children love me. But I struggle to quiet the lies and the turmoil in my heart feels non-stop. In my mind, I wholeheartedly believe God can, but because He does not move in my time I start to listen to the lies that He won’t do good things for me.
The lie that I struggle with is that I am not enough (a good enough mom, wife, friend, daughter, sister). I want to be everything to everyone, and when I feel like I’m failing, it consumes me and brings me down. I know that I should not be living for me and others opinions of me, but it is a lie I fall into time and again.
The lie that I can never be good enough and therefore not fully accepted. Growing up nothing I did was ever good enough and it is doubtful that I will ever truly have my mom’s approval. Due to problems at home and physical limitations making true friends not easy. After college I got into a bad relationship and went from one to another. When some people heard about my past they no longer wanted to associate with me. Marriage was a disaster (knew was a mistake but chickened out on calling it off 3 days before wedding) and the abuse further destroyed my self esteem. God is faithful but I still struggle and have to catch myself and redirect my thoughts.
I struggle with the lie that I’m not good enough/strong enough/trustworthy enough to do what I know God has called me to.
The biggest lie that I have believed is that I am not good enough or articulate enough to WIN at all God has promised me.
One of the biggest lies I struggle with is that I will never know God’s purpose or calling for me or that I’m just going to miss it altogether….I don’t even know if that could ever be, maybe I’m overthinking that my calling is to do some big huge thing, maybe it’s just what I already have, the back and forth with that is enough to make myself crazy at times. God has seen me through way too many difficult times for my life to not be important to Him, I know that much, I just don’t want to disappoint Him any more. This has been my latest lie I’ve listened to, but there are so many more. So many that I have read through that are much the same as the ones above my comment…reflecting on that, it seems as though the devil has a set of schemes that he tries to do to us all to make us feel unworthy and none of them can be very true, all 216 people commenting before me can’t be all that bad, right? Hopefully we all quit listening to the lies!!
Because of my mother communicating the message that I could never be good enough to earn her approval, I have spent most of my life trying to please people to get them to love me. Like many others who were trained to think this way, I transferred this idea to God and find myself trying to be good enough for Him to love and forgive me for my many repeated sins.
The lie I most struggle with is, “God doesn’t really care about me.” I know it isn’t true, but I often feel like I am completely responsible, and alone in every aspect of my life turns out.
I really struggle with the lie that I am not good enough. (I am not a good enough mother/wife/Christian/etc.)
I struggle with the lie that I can do it all on my own, that God is only there for when I really really need Him. I don’t rely and lean on Him in all things, good or bad, like I should.
The lie I struggle with is that I have no purpose. I know that I do yet there are days when doubt seems to take over.
The lie I struggle with the most is not being enough. For me, for my husband, for my kids…for God.
The lies I struggle with is that no one wants to listen to what I have to say became I don’t have anything worthwhile listening to.
The lie(s)I struggle with the most are that what I have to say is not important and that people are always judging me because of what I do say. I came to believe these lies as a child because I was always silenced and told not to talk unless spoken to. This has made growing up and connecting with others a huge struggle for me. But God is so good and He’s guiding me through all of the yucky stuff…and as I step out in faith I know that if I stumble He’s there to pick me up and help me along the way.
The lie I struggle with is that I am a sad excuse for a Christian. I know what the word says, yet this lie keeps coming up when I am going through a season of challenges.
I struggle with that comparison trap especially with some of my female acquaintances who don’t seem to struggle with health and finances. It’s a terrible rut to stay in.
I lie I struggle with is I am not making any impact for God.
The lie I struggle with is that I am not good enough. No matter how much I do or How well I do it it’s not enough as a mom, daughter, sister, wife, friend, aunt…any one of the many hats I wear. The Lord has been reminding me that I have all that I have need of and He has equipped me for all He’s called me too.
The lie I lived was I am little miss shameful. I was stolen from my birth dad by my birth mothers side of the family and sold into human trafficking, child porn, and slavery. I was blamed by them for abusing me sexually and then forcing abortions on me in my childhood.
Y’shua is faithful. His promises are yes. Y’shua is helping work out those issues while I get closer to finding out the truth about my life and I am going to be reunited with my birth dad.
I have no value to my family, friends, or God. I am not pretty, overweight, not smart, and have no gifts. I don’t know why God made me.
I lie about my feelings. I always act like I’m happy but I struggle with depression and self doubt. It’s exhausting but I want friends badly. I end up draining myself by encouraging others.
The biggest lie for me is that my life is not making eternal impact, that I’m failing in the things God has called me to do.
The lie I struggle with is feeling like people don’t like me. And that everyone is liked more than me and that I am unrememberable.
The lie I struggle with the most is not being good enough in all areas of my life, not a good enough mom, not good enough at my job, not good enough for my fiancé,.
The lie that continues to battle time after time is “you’re not good, smart, pretty, … enough”.
The lie I struggle with, but God has delivered me out of is..
I am not pretty enough. The Lord has healed me from this lie, but we know that we struggle against unseen worlds. God has given us the spiritual Word of God to fight against this daily lie and battle. I struggle with this because sometimes you see so many women especially Christian women who have it together or let’s say seem like they have it together. Since, we know we all go through stuff. It just seems like they have it together. I struggled with this lie because of what I see or sometimes not feeling good enough. Daily trying to meet expectations and to live this Christian life correctly. Sometimes, even the world will make you feel like your missing out on something or not enough. Daily battles! I am working on taking on each lie with the word of God and his peace. I am working on doing Bible studies just like this one you all are doing. It’s helping me and motivating me. The Lord is good and I have to work on taking daily steps with the Lord.
They lie I struggle with is that God punished me for being sexually abused by not allowing me to be able to bear children.
I struggle with the lie that I am loved. Growing up it wasn’t something that we were told, we kinda knew it; but it was never said. It makes it very hard to accept it when words are used, it is like I need to see the love. I don’t know if that makes sense and I know my parents loved all of us. They were from other countries & it was not something you did to openly express or show affection. I am going to be 66 this month & still am not able to be open in that area, but I can show love by doing things for & serving others, but not hugging, kissing, or stating the words.
The lie I struggle with is “I’m not good enough”. It’s been almost 5 years since I’m feeling frustated professionally speaking. I have not been able to graduate from college and my current job makes me feel I’m stuck and that I will never been able to find a job that I’m passionate about. I love Jesus and I want to serve Him through the talents and gifts He has given me, but when I look inside of me I see a woman full of doubts, afraid of taking risks, fears that hold me back. Fears I have tried to overcome but I always endp up in the same place: Frustated, thinking that God doesn’t have a plan for me, that He’s too busy to help me, so that things will never change for me.
The lie I struggle with is that I have to say yes when someone asks me to do something especially for church. If I say no I feel like I’m going against God and that I’m not adaquetly loving my neighbor.
I struggle with the lie that I’m inadequate and need to turn to desires of the flesh to make it through the day, to not feel anxious or worried, and letting the devil whisper in my ear that I’m not happy enough and need to fulfill my needs myself when I know that only God can truly make me happy and He is all that I need and shouldndesire.
I struggle with not thinking that I’m not good enough. That I don’t deserve God’s kindness and forgiveness.
The lie I struggle with the most is telling myself that I am going to pray each night. I tell myself I am but I lie to myself and I don’t because I feel that prayer isn’t good for me. I know that it is and that my relationship with God is going to strengthen because I can feel him moving in my life each day. My goal is to start praying and telling myself I am and somehow set a reminder to myself that each morning and each night I will pray for God to lead me and guide me through my day. I am so thankful I have God in my life because if I didn’t I would be lost and in trouble. I know that prayer makes life better and I am going to start putting that reminder in my life that with prayer God can strengthen me.
The lie I struggle with is that I have to do everything myself. It stresses and tires me out. I need to remember I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me!
The lie that I live with is that I was not a good parent because my daughter grew up and does not follow the Lord. Satan wants me to believe that it was somehow my fault.
The lie I defintely struggle with is saying I’m not good enough..or I’ll never be pretty enough, etc, when really God loves me For who I am. I am a 18 year old in a wheelchair and i put my self down daily saying “I’m not good enough” “I’ll never be the same” etc. but I’m actually just like all the rest
I have a couple: 1) I’m not good enough and 2) Everything that has happened to me is because I’m not good enough and 3) no one likes me so I blow things out of proportion and take on the victim mantle. God has been trying to get me to see this. And through little things large and small, I have received the
Message. He is telling me—NO you are good enough and you’re loved by the
King of Kings
The lie I struggle with is that nothing good will happen in my life. My pessimism has me in a prison with the devil whispering in my ear that it’s because I am not good enough.
The lie I am struggling with is that nothing is going to change and that I’m stuck in a place and a future I don’t want. Definitely need the Lord’s help for a new perspective and for hope.
The lie I struggle with is not deserving to be be happy because of my past due to an sexual assault. I’ve tried to be forgiving and I say I forgive but it’s not true I still hurt. I’ve started my walk with God and it took me several years to get here but I’m determined to be happy and the only way to do that is to walk with God and learn forgiveness. I’ve also started to message my children everyday tell them I love them and that Jesus loves them too. I pushed them away from because I thought I wasn’t worthy I was damaged and they didn’t deserve me. It’s all a part of my healing process. I’m trying very hard.
Praying the God frees you from the lies, all guilt, all shame, but especially that He frees you from the pain of your past!

The lie I struggle with is that I’m not good enough. It’s hard to accept completely that God’s love doesn’t depend on my actions. ???
I struggle with I’m not good enough. My parents made me feel like I wasn’t good enough, mom was always over embellishing what I did. Dad just made it know that nothing I did was acceptable by him. So with all that, I’ve not felt good enough for God.
