For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God, or am I striving to please men?

For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1.10

God, I thank you for freeing me today from the fear of the judgment of others. I no longer

worry about what others think of me, whether they approve of me or appreciate me, or

criticize or condemn me. Their words have no authority, no power over me. It doesn't matter how

others have seen me in the past past or how they see me now.

What matters is that you see me. You see me and know me. You know me and love me. And it's

your love that sets me free. I declare that I will no longer listen to the lies of the enemy.

I will not listen to my own insecurities. I will not doubt your plans or purposes for me.

I will believe every word that you speak over me. I will stand on your promises.

I will trust in your goodness, faithfulness, and love.

I will make it my mission to seek your approval and your approval only.

I will be the best me I can be.

I will be who you created me to be,

for your honor and your glory.

I pray all of this in Jesus' name.

Amen.
