Imposter Syndrome vs. God’s Truth
What happens when doubt calls me a fraud but God calls me chosen.
You ever have those days where doubt and insecurity are so loud? Those days where your achievements feel insignificant and you feel like you’ve gotten no where in life? I’ve been there too. Working through it as I type these words.
Sometimes I feel like an imposter. Like I’m just faking it in life. I’m not really a writer. I’m not really a Christian. I’m not really a good person.
Sometimes, I look around and wonder if anyone really supports me.
My love of reading and writing isn’t new. I’ve always been the girl with a book in her hand. I’ve always been the girl trying to turn her imagination into something worth reading. That had been my identity for so long.
And no, this blog post is not me fishing for compliments or an ego-boost. This is a real and raw confession of how the enemy can trick me into thinking I’ve done nothing notable or good in my life.
BUT this is me saying that I know these feelings aren’t real. I know this is just attack on my mind and my walk with Christ.
In that tension, I have learned to remind myself of what I know to be true: God repurposed my love of reading and writing to glorify Him. He called me to use these gifts not for myself, but to plant seeds that might one day lead others to salvation. That is the assignment.
And nothing grows overnight.
When I sit in the quiet, it’s easy for doubt to whisper that I’m not enough, that no one cares, that my words are pointless. But imposters don’t wrestle with those thoughts, only those who are truly walking in their purpose do.
So here I am, showing up again. Writing through the doubt. Trusting that even if the audience feels small, the obedience is big. Trusting that even if support feels thin, God’s presence is thick.
Because in the end, this journey was never about being seen by everyone. It’s about being faithful to the One who sees me.
And that’s enough.
Prayer 🙏
Lord,
Thank You for reminding me that I am chosen, loved, and called by You. When doubt whispers that I am not enough, help me to hear Your truth louder. Guard my heart against the lies of the enemy and strengthen me to keep walking faithfully in the purpose You’ve given me. Teach me to trust that my small steps of obedience matter and that You are working through me even when I can’t see it.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
✨ If you’ve ever felt like an imposter in your faith or calling, I want you to know that you are not alone. God delights in using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Keep showing up. Keep planting seeds. Trust Him with the harvest.
