How to Overcome an Inferiority Complex


Hey, Gabriel Girl!

 Do you struggle with an inferiority complex? If so, today’s blog post is for you!

 What is an inferiority complex? In simplest terms, it’s a feeling of being inadequate, not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough--and on and on and on.


Inferiority is one of Satan’s chief weapons against young women.  He uses thoughts and feelings of inferiority to keep you from moving into the great destiny for which God created you. It’s important that you recognize the devil’s tactics so that you can avoid falling into his trap.

 Here are some ways the enemy will try to make you feel inferior:

 1. Satan will tempt you to compare yourself to others.  Why is this dangerous? Because you are a unique masterpiece and, therefore, you can’t be compared to anyone else. Besides, the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 10: 12 that it’s unwise to compare ourselves with someone else.  

 2. Satan will tempt you to look at yourself from your perspective instead of God’s. The truth is that only God’s perspective of us is the right one. And God says that you are awesome (Psalm 139)!

 3. Satan will tempt you to focus on your failures instead of your successes. He will do this to deceive you, to distract you, and to discourage you. When we focus on our failures instead of our successes, we keep ourselves from moving forward in God’s will. 

 Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt said this: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”  
Decide right now that you will see yourself as God sees you. This is what He says about you in Deuteronomy 28: 13:  “If you listen to these commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.” Hallelujah! :)

 The way to get rid of an inferiority complex is by obeying God’s Word. As you do, you will discover that your worth comes from God alone--and no one can take it away from you!
