I didn't know what to expect, as I was nieve and thought it was normal. My self esteem has been low every since. I always think I'm fat and no matter how I look, I think I'm unattractive. Could you please pray for me. I also have picked up anothe habit that is totally wrong and can't seem to get control over it.

I WANT TO PROCLAIM to the world GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, but with guys I think are nice I create a shell to protect myself I curl up inside myself. Could you please pray and any bible verses would be great :) Hi, I was abused by my Dad physically and mentally and I feel like that has influenced my confidence around guys, it’s not that I want to start dating but when I ignore them out of fear and shyness I feel like I am not showing God’s love and I feel horrible!.

Please pray for me to grow confident and secure in God. I always thought confidence came from dressing well and looking good. And because of my skin disease my confidence and self-esteem was badly affected. Its so diificult for me to look people in the eye and to make friends because I'm always worried about what others are thinking of me. But then I see some girls who are not wearing trendy clothes and are dressed averagely and yet they are so beautiful and attractive i realise its because the are secure about themselves. So confidence is the best thing to wear and I want my confidence to be based in God. My parents have always criticised me for being shy and weak and I want to prove them wrong. I'm too scared ...I'm scared i won't become better and I won't measure up to their standards. And I do a lot of negative self-talk. PLease pray for me. Thank you for this article.

But, it suddendly happen when i went back to my country (afica) after leaving in the uk for some years that i started to smell. I guess it must have been the africa weather. I did not notice it myself but it was the people around me who noticed it. During my two weeks stay it was full of embarrassment because people were trying not to breath around me and i kept hearing commen like what smells? .i also became sad and low,i guess i was depressed. That became the beginning of my low selfseteem. Now after coming back to the UK, i was spending more time in the bathroom and took more care when it comes to taking care of myself. But because of my sensitivity which developed back in africa, whenever i get close to people sy on the bus i ALWAYS i mean ALWAYS checking for some sort of reactions. Its like buying a gorgeous dress and walking into a room and lookig for reactions. Sometime people sort of try not to breathe where i am and sometimes theres nothing. If i get a bad reaction like covering noses, i just need one person out of 10 people to react to my smell, that is enough to give me a bad day. suddenly that happy girl and smiley girl would rush into the toilet and cry. I guess my problem is looking out for reactions to whatevr i do. I am a christian , i have prayed and i know GOD loves me but if there is any body that is going through what im going thru or has gone thru it, i employ them to reply me. I seriously need help and its more of controlling my thought rather than what is happening externally. God bless u.

Lord, show her your ways. Let her feel your love and know that YOU care for her more deeply than any earthly man ever could. And Father God, I ask that you fill her with your love and give her the strength, wisdom and confidence to get through this. Carry her through this very trying time, God, and let her know you will never hurt her nor allow her to be hurt. Father, show her how to be a loving wife and let her know how much YOU love her. In Jesus name! Amen Dear Jesus,
