Turning to prayer may be a source of strength and consolation when one is experiencing self-doubt and poor self-esteem. Not only is prayer a method to communicate with a higher power, but it is also a very effective approach to raise one's self-esteem.

By praying, we acknowledge the existence of a power larger than ourselves, a force of love and compassion that goes beyond our finite human capacities. Knowing that we are loved and supported by a loving presence can give us a sense of security and worthiness.

Aside from that, prayer can assist us in switching our internal dialogue from critical self-talk to encouraging affirmations. We might ask for direction, insight, and the strength to face obstacles instead of focusing on our flaws. As we allow ourselves to connect with the divine, we begin to view ourselves through the eyes of love and acceptance, eventually gaining a higher feeling of self-worth and self-assurance. Take a minute to pray, let go of your cares, and embrace the uplifting power of divine love to strengthen your inner self when you are feeling weak.
