To Overcome My Victim Mentality
Lord God,
It is so easy for me to play the role of victim. I relish any opportunity to throw myself a pity party and dwell on how unfair my life is. It’s so clear to me how much better off everyone else is. Whenever I see disparity, I am always on the side that is lacking or losing. My misery thrives when others validate how often I draw the short straw in life.
Like the apostle Paul, what a wretched man I am! Shame on me! Forgive me for thinking so little of your promise that all who are in you overcome the world. There is no place for victims in the kingdom of the Victor. Free me from foolish thoughts of victimhood, surround me with others who care enough to call me out on it whenever I slip back into it, and restore to me the joy of my salvation.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
