Bible verses for when you feel you are not enough

Comparison is quiet and constant. A feed, a sibling, the person in the next pew. If you have been measuring yourself and coming up short, these verses measure differently.

  1. “For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.”

  2. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.”
    Ephesians 2:10

    1 Samuel 16:7
  4. “But now the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.”
