Sometimes, we forget who we are. Not like our names or our addresses, but the deeper truth—the one reality that actually matters. We forget that before we ever accomplished anything, before we failed at anything, before we were even born, God named us beloved.
But in the noise of life, it’s easy to let other voices drown out that truth. The ones that say you’re not enough, that you’re too much, that you’re defined by your mistakes or successes. Yet God’s voice is steady, clear, and unchanging: “You are my beloved child. In you I delight.”
The Psalmist puts it like this: “The Lord takes delight in his people” (Psalm 149:4). Delight. Not frustration, not disappointment—delight. If you need that reminder today, here’s a Scripture that was first about Jesus, but captures how God responds to us too, and a prayer to bring you back to the truth of who you are.

“This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).

Father, whose voice spoke over Jesus at the Jordan, speak that truth over me today. When I forget who I am, when the names the world gives me grow louder than your own, remind me: I am your child, your beloved. You are the Shepherd who calls me by name. You are the One who engraves me on the palms of your hands. May that truth be louder than shame, steadier than fear, and stronger than the voice of the enemy. Today, let me live as the one you love. My identity is secure in you. Amen.
