Megan's prayer: Kutless' "Down"

Our world is full of beautiful people. Whether short or tall, skinny or fat, male or female, I think every person is beautiful. They were made in God’s image… how could they not be beautiful? And yet, sometimes, I look in the mirror and have a hard time seeing that in myself.

Tonight I found out I’m not the only one who feels this way. I was talking with a friend who was also having a hard time seeing, and believing, that she was beautiful, and this shocked me. I have always thought she was gorgeous, stunning, truly beautiful. To hear her talk without any confidence made me so sad.

When I had the chance to sit down tonight and listen to Kutless’ “Down,” I was shocked to see that the song fit so perfectly into my night.

A young girl walks into her room and doesn’t like what she sees
In her reflection there, she’s not what she wants to be

I want to be like the movie stars and models on the screen

It’s so sad to see that society dictates to us what is beautiful. Isn’t it God who created us, who made us in his image, who made us beautiful?

My wish, my hope, my prayer, is that everyone (including me) is able to see, and believe in, their own beauty.
