Analise D Mello MBBS, MS obgyn, DNB

 “How do you know me?”

I often sit and think about the sins I have committed, some times of omission, many of commission.. I keep thinking how does God know exactly where to find me … sending the people or words I know and I should hear!

Past few days, I have been feeling a sense of doubt in myself – imposter syndrome ! At work and at home! I feel I am not good enough and unworthy and then I put on a façade like faking it till I am making it!

I am unsure why this feeling has crept unto me – I barely got back onto my feet after getting adjusted with new place! Seniors saying stuff to me, co workers gossip, chaos at work and language issues- I was barely getting along the flow!

And then one day someone passed a remark and my entire fake confidence came crashing down! As I sat in prayer asking God what I wanted – I asked God , how does he know me?How does He know who I am and what I want?

I think He does!

He knows all of us.

Let us know the Lord like He knows us!

AMEN!
