Clothed in Strength and Dignity





"She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future" Proverbs 31:25. This has been a bible verse that has meant a lot to me but has been hard for me. How can we as women have strength and dignity in every situation. Strength means the quality of being strong , being strong in a relationship ,a friendship or even in a work situation. You need to be strong in your faith with God believing and not wavering in your faith. Dignity means to have the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. This is something that is difficult a lot of times i do not  feel worthy of anything. I struggle with feeling worthy of my family or my friends. I feel that i am never good enough for them. If I'm not good enough for them then how will i ever be good enough for God. What i need to learn and accept and what others might need to learn as well is we are worthy to our family and friends but most importantly we are worthy to God. It says in psalms 139 that we are knit together in our mothers wombs and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God made us to be loved by him and to be his wonderfully children when we were in our mothers wombs he made us to be who we are. " she laughs without fear of the future" my anxiety has been a big problem for me since 9th grade. I have struggled with a fear of alot of things but since about sophomore year after my aunt died i have feared my future. The fear of what will happen  when I'm older. Who will i be with? When will i have kids ? Where will i live? These are just a few of the questions that run through my mind. Fear is a struggle for me because as Christian's we shouldn't fear right? We fear shouldn't  because God is in control and he is guiding your life. This is something i have struggled with because at times i feel like i just want to control my life all by myself. This is something that I'm working on. I'm working to just live day by day and to be more adventurous and spontaneous. I am working to just let God control my life and sit back and have him take over. I do not  know about any of you but these are just some things that i struggle with in my faith and life. Life is just about learning who you are and what your struggles and strengths are. In all i think the main thing i want people to understand from this post is you are worthy and try to not fear. Whether you are 12 or 100 you are worthy of your family,friends,significant other but most importantly you are worthy of God.
