How do I overcome feelings of being worthless? There's this guy and we've had a past relationship. We try to talk now but I can't help but get these feelings of hurt and worthlessness. I just don't understand why God keeps bringing him in my life if all he does is bring me pain.
Answer:In answering this question you have to take a look at how God views you. 2 Timothy 1:7 says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. The source of those feelings that you are experiencing do not come from God. In first understanding what does not come from Him you can embrace what does come from Him. One of the great truths about God is that He loves you and had a great plan for your life long before you were even born. Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;"
It's important to understand as well that He does not make mistakes but we do. Luke 17:1 says that it's impossible for us to live this life without offenses coming. Because of that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship no matter how hard both sides try. We experience hurt because we make mistakes and receive hurt from other people's mistakes. Sometimes things just don't turn out. It may very well be that the Lord is using your constant running into this guy so that you can work out the situation for closure. It first starts with recognizing that these feelings don't come from God and that He will take care of you. 1 Peter 5:6 says that we need to give Him all of our cares because of His care for us. In giving these cares to Him those feelings will not have power over you anymore. Then you will freely walk and enjoy what God has for you in your life as you look to Him.
