Fighting the enemy's lies

Dear God,
So often I am plagued by thoughts of insignificance. I look at other people and think, "Who am I compared to them? I am not as respected as they are. I am not as pretty. I am not as privileged. I am not as loved." These are all lies from the enemy. He's trying to gang up on me and tell me that I'm not worth much.
Well you know what Mr. Enemy? Guess who I have on my side? The Creator! The Mighty King! The One who has made everything right according to his plan. The One who cherishes me and loves me.
God, you are on my side and I choose now to fight with You. I will not let the enemy get into my head. God, I pray that I would train hard and work to fill my life with more of You. God, I pray that I would fill my mind with Scripture and prayers; I want to be armed with Your Word as I fight the enemy's lies. When I look to You, my dear Jesus, I do not find feelings of defeat or insignificance. Instead, I find peace; I find hope; I find purpose; I find rest.
In you, Abba, I know that I am loved. I am not missing out on anything. I am right where I am supposed to be.
I praise you Father. I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and I am in the middle of Your beautiful plan. May I not forget this. May I be armed with Your Word and the Spirit; ready to take on whatever is thrown at me. I look to You!
With love,
Your Secret Admirer
