✌ Feeling Inadequate?

I can't be the only one feeling this way? In fact I know I'm not, this is a common feeling that is shared among many young people. This feeling of inadequacy shouldn't even be a thought that runs through our minds, but it is. I hate to say I have been feeling a little inadequate as of late. I would like to pretend that everything is okay and nothing is wrong, but there is something wrong with feeling this way! No one is inadequate! Then why can't I get this through my thick skull?! Oh yeah because I am stubborn. Actually I now know why I am feeling like this. Lately my life has had some HUGE changes, and I am seeing some things that is making me feel like this.

To be honest this is the hardest post I have ever tried to write. Trying to put my thoughts and feelings here is making me so confused. Am I making any sense? I hope I am!

In simple terms I feel like I am overlooked. Overlooked by my family. Overlooked by my friends. Overlooked by everyone. I have noticed people drifting from me to other people, and it makes me wonder are they better than me? Are they funnier than me? Are they prettier than me? 

I feel as if I have no true talent. I can't sing. I can't play an instrument. I think I can dance but I probably just look like a limp noodle flopping around on the stage. Seeing people using their gifts makes me feel useless. What do I have that I can actually use?! It really breaks my heart seeing people using their gifts, when I have nothing to use. 

It is a constant struggle trying to be happy lately. I hate being around my friends, and I hate feeling this way. I know that God has made me who I am for a reason. He made me to reach people that others can't. So why do I feel like this?

Because the enemy is seeing all of the great things ahead of me and he is trying to make me self destruct. I have self destructed a couple of times in the past and it's not something I care to go through again. So I am going to take this feeling of Inadequacy day by day and give it to God. It is his now. Jesus's last words were "It is finished" and indeed it is!
