“Isaiah 61:10, “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”
 
One’s self-worth is the combination of perceptions of self, others, and God. The desire to feel a true sense of value, acceptance, and love is given by God and is to be satisfied by him. Struggles with self-worth can occur when too much emphasis is placed on performance and other’s opinions. It is also further complicated by a history of trauma, abuse, family experiences or situation, excessive comparison to others, and emotional struggles. Our self-worth should be based on two sources: 1) being created in God’s image and 2) our position in Christ.

Colossians 3:2 “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

In our fast-paced, demanding world, we often experience feelings of pressure and stress. These feelings occur when the resources available, such as the ability to cope with challenges, do not match the demands of a specific situation. Stress can result from any kind of change—such as in jobs, relationships, finances, or routine. When stress is not coped with effectively, it can interfere with daily activities and relationships, cause or aggravate medical problems, or lead to other problems. One way to limit unnecessary stress is by building a healthy lifestyle through realistic expectations, nutrition, exercise, relaxation, routine, and effective coping skills.
