I'm Unworthy

Hi LadyKay.. you know last night I was saying basically the same thing. Seems I am ALWAYS ... haha the song ECHO just said "when my mind says I'm not good enough God your enough for me". Shared before but I remember when the word in the margin said something like if your heart convicts you you wont get anything from God. I got up and said I quit, my heart convicts me 24/7. As I was leaving the room.. He asked  "what is righteousness?" I said ok ok righteous is right standing with God. He then asked "how do you get righteousness?" I said by believing in Jesus. It was like being blind and then you can see. 

I NEVER get tried of remembering that. For me one would THINK GOD telling you how HE sees you case closed. I wonder if its not like we keep going back into that hole that He got us out of. We keep seeing the old man not the new man created in righteousness and true holiness. So in all this someone is lying to us feeding us thoughts that are not true  Its So hard for me to see myself through my Fathers eyes yet that is truth. If not worthy then we can never come before Him BOLDLY and we never can sit in heavenly places.

We get up dust off keep going. Not what we were its what we are IN THROUGH BY Christ. This is what comes to my mind "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Your words speak for and to everyone - that must tell you something.... BUT YOU have made a decision to seek Him out, to place your life in His Hands... while, unfortunately, most do not.

Ask Him (repeatedly) to let you see yourself as He sees you- remember, He already sees you as a new creation, this new man, only you fail to see him. Let go and let God.

Here is the Scripture that counteracts your feelings of unworthiness to ask God for anything.

"Be not anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests to God, and the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:5-6).

So, are you trusting your feelings of unworthiness, or are you putting your trust in God's Word?   Are you trusting in your own righteousness, which is a filthy rag in the sight of God, or in the righteousness of Christ which has been given to you as a free gift?

Are you of "the circumcision that worships God in the Spirit, rejoices in Jesus Christ, and has no confidence in the flesh (that is in ourselves)"?

Or are you obsessed with yourself, your failings and shortcomings, in spite of what the Word of God says about you?   Are you obeying your own feelings, or the Word of God?

Paul, this is really good, but this I have against you (taken directly from Revelation- pretty good, huh?), anyway, I noticed you failed to place your name at the bottom of this enjoyable comment!

I would suggest you edit this post or someone (me) will sign their own name at the bottom... just looking out for you. Charlie

No one is worthy. We must be contrite. That's the key in my opinion. God is near the broken heart and saves the contrite.

We can't edit others posts. We don't need to sign our name, as our name is on the top of the post.

When things happen and I need to ask God for his help. I feel I am unworthy to ask. I am not perfect. I am not a great and wonderful Christian. I fall short of what I should be time and time again. I let God down at times. So why should he help me when I pray? This is how I feel. 

The Lord created us - maybe he feels some responsibility towards us. He loves us. It is to his glory that he should help us.

Not as good as this one:

A drunk driver gets pulled over by a cop for going through an intersection in the wrong lane.  The cop asks the driver, "Didn't you see the arrows?"   The driver replied, "Arrows??  I never even saw the Indians!"

I think it's fine to be humble about it and recognize both our personal failings and that we don't deserve it. At the same time some of the things Jesus said about prayer are also worth keeping in mind. Luke 11:5-13 and Luke 12:24-31 both stand out to me in that respect.

We need to be careful about false humility that can be a deception to stop godly folk from coming boldly to God's throne of grace to find mercy and help in their time of need.  The inner "voice" that says, "You're not worthy to approach a holy God", may be a lying spirit trying to block one's access to God through Christ.
