Thank you.

I’m having trouble seeing how these steps can bring a change of heart.  Are there some other steps left out?  Repentance?  Prayer?  What else?

I am struggling with what I thought was a low self esteem issue and have been trying so hard to recognize what is it that I am going through.  I feel hatred for myself and beat myself up all the time for something I said or something someone else said to me and its been miserable.  Never did I relate what I am going through with some sort of “people pleasing idol” inside my heart. I so appreciate this blog because it really causes me to seek and search this out.  I pray for wisdom and healing and understanding so that I can be free to serve my Lord the way I desire too and in a way that brings God glory but I have been paralyzed by this situation.  Thanks for shedding some light in this particular situation and possibly helping me identify its source.
