Inspection Time! Does this prayer ring true for you?
The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest.
It makes me lie down only when exhausted.
It leads me into deep depression.
It hounds my soul.
It leads me in circles of frenzy, for activities sake.
Even though I run frantically from task to task, I will never get it all done.
For my ideal is with me.
Deadlines and my need for approval, they drive me.
They demand performance from me, beyond the limits of my schedule.
They anoint my head with migraines,
My in-basket overflows.
Surely fatigue and time pressures shall follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the bonds of frustration
Forever.

Does this ring true for you? You may be thinking what does this have to do with self-esteem. Think about it. If your too busy to stop and listen to God, then how can He show you your value to Him? Just knowing the truth of who you are and who you belong to is encouraging. The first key in having a healthy self-esteem is having the God confidence of being whole and complete in Christ.
Take a moment, slow down, and spend time with God. He so desires to show you His love and how precious you are to Him. He is trying to get your attention! Take control and dictate your clock. Set aside time to spend with God!
Be blessed!
