Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. When the centurion came to Jesus to ask for healing for his servant, he felt unworthy to have Jesus come to his home.
People feel unworthy to come to God in prayer before they have been born again but after that, this feeling is only a temptation to keep you from the Lord, unless there is sin in your life. Why should you feel worthy to bring your needs to the Lord? You have been covered by the righteousness of Jesus, which allows you to become worthy, and approach God in prayer with confidence.
You are worthy because of what Jesus has done for you! Any time you feel unworthy, ask the Lord if there is any hindrance in your life. If the answer is “No,” then resist the temptation to feel unworthy. You are the righteous-ness of God.
