Dear Me,

Just a quick reminder:

You matter.  In the chaos of life, don’t forget your worth.  Your actions, your thoughts, they all leave a mark.

Challenges may come, but remember your strength.  Embrace flaws; they’re part of you.

Past victories prove your resilience.
You’re not alone; ask for help.

Dreams? They’re worth pursuing.
Take care—physically, mentally.

Uncertainty’s okay; it’s where you grow.
Your journey, your story, are unique.

Believe, trust, and always remember:
You matter.

Stay awesome,
You

A Letter To Me From Psalm 27:1

Dear Me,

Remember Psalm 27:1: “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

In times of doubt, picture the Lord as a mighty fortress, unshakeable and steadfast.  He is your light, guiding you through darkness, and His salvation assures you that you are never alone.

Draw strength from His presence.  When fear creeps in, remind yourself of this verse.  Let it be your shield and your confidence.  The Lord is with you, He is for you, and He is your protector.

Stay strong, keep your faith, and trust in His unwavering support.  You’ve faced storms before and emerged stronger.  With Him by your side, you’ll continue to rise above whatever comes your way.

Believe in yourself and in His power.  You are not alone.  You are deeply loved by the Creator of heaven and earth, and He knows your name. 

With strength and hope,

You
