Self Love

Dear Father in Heaven,

My issue of the day is learning to love myself. Please help me to conquer this demon of oppression on my lack of self love. I don't have a good image of myself and I don't feel that I
measure up most of the time. I want to be able to have confidence and feel self worth. I have
been struggling with this lately. Especially with my body image. I want to love me for me and
take care of me for me and not becuase I am trying to compare myself to others or what I think
I should look like. I need to get past this and I blame today's society for this problem.
I pray that you will help me to overcome this oppression that I have been dealing with and help me to see me as you see me.
I know you created all of us different, but we are still made in your image. And if you love us no matter what we look like, then why can't I do that. Satan constantly badgers me telling me that
I need to loose weight or deprive myself of foods in order not to take in so many unneeded calories. I know this is not from you. But I need to get a new view of me. Please help me with this. Maybe then I can see myself in a different light and excercize for the right reasons.
I love you and I know that only you can help me with this. Thank you for loving me as I am!
