God formed you carefully—every part of you. In this episode of Draw Near, Kara leads you through a guided visualization meditation designed to quiet the noise and open you to the depth of God’s love for you.
This reflection is especially for anyone who struggles to see themselves as wholly good and loved... those who can appreciate their strengths but wrestle with their weaknesses, insecurities, or parts they wish were different. This meditation gently invites you to see yourself through God’s eyes and to receive yourself with the same love God offers.
Drawn directly from the Surrender Journal we wrote and offer through our shop, this prayer experience is meant to be returned to again and again—especially in moments of self-doubt, comparison, or discouragement.
Find a quiet place, take a deep breath, and allow God to remind you: you are deeply known, carefully created, and lovingly held.
Questions to reflect on before you begin:
- Where do you find value within yourself? When do feel valuable? Are there moments when you do not feel valuable but worthless? What are they?
- What lies from the evil one do you listen to regularly regarding your life, identity, or value?
- What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What does it mean to be in the likeness of God?
