Reclaiming Worth: How Women Can Overcome Internal and External Unworthiness Through the Bible’s Law of Assumption

Violence against women is a harsh reality that continues to pervade societies worldwide. At its core, this violence reflects a deeper and more pervasive issue: unworthiness. This unworthiness operates on two intertwined levels—how women often feel about themselves internally, and how men and society externally treat women. Both create a cycle that traps many in pain and limitation. Just having to write about this is eroding my IAMness.

Yet, there is hope. The Bible’s law of assumption teaches that what we firmly assume in our imagination and belief manifests in our reality. By consciously shifting these assumptions, women can reclaim their worth, break cycles of disempowerment, and begin to live from a place of dignity and strength.

The Internal Battle — How Women Often Feel Unworthy

Many women grow up absorbing messages that cast doubt on their value and dignity. Cultural conditioning, past traumas, and social pressures can shape a negative self-image, filling hearts with shame, fear, or a quiet resignation. This internal narrative of unworthiness often becomes an unseen force, shaping choices and relationships, sometimes inviting or tolerating mistreatment.

The External Reality — How Men Reflect and Enforce Unworthiness

Societal and patriarchal structures often reflect and enforce this internalised unworthiness through various forms of violence and disrespect. Men’s violence—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—can be seen as a manifestation of the same broken beliefs imposed on women by culture and, sometimes, by men’s own unresolved issues. This perpetuates a cycle of pain that affects individuals and communities alike.

The Law of Assumption — A Biblical and Spiritual Framework for Change

The Bible, interpreted according to its own symbolism, reveals a powerful principle: the law of assumption. This law shows us that what we assume as true about ourselves and our lives shapes our external experience.

For women, this means that by changing the assumptions they hold about their worth, identity, and future, they can transform how life unfolds. Biblical figures such as Esther, Ruth, and Deborah embody this transformative power. Esther assumed her royal role and saved her people; Ruth embraced a new identity and future; Deborah stood as a leader and judge. Their stories show how renewed self-assumption can lead to remarkable change.

The song of Solomon is poetic allegory, deliberately crafted to describe the feeling of living in the new, chosen and desired reality. It's words describe the ideal adoring and loving union between the two aspects of mind - imagination. It's imagery is superior and beyond any idea of a physical relationship.

Practical Steps for Women to Harness the Law of Assumption

Before beginning any spiritual or mental work, safety must always come first. If you are in an unsafe or harmful situation, seek immediate help from trusted individuals, support groups, or professional organisations. The practices here are intended for use only when you are in a secure environment where you can focus on healing and growth.

When safe, women can begin to transform their lives by:

• Consciously assuming their worth, dignity, and strength daily through affirmations and declarations.

• Visualising themselves as whole, respected, and powerful, embodying the woman now. 

• Meditating on empowering Bible verses such as Psalm 139:14 ("fearfully and wonderfully made") and Esther 4:14 ("who knows if you were made for such a time as this?").

• Living ‘in the end’ — acting and feeling as if they already fully embody their worth and freedom.

• Rejecting and releasing internalised negative beliefs and external messages that seek to diminish their value.

The Ripple Effect — Changing Internal Assumptions Changes External Reality

As women shift their internal assumptions, they begin to embody a new energy of strength and dignity that naturally alters how others respond to them. This transformation can challenge harmful patterns in families, communities, and society over time. When many women reclaim their worth simultaneously, a collective ripple of change is possible.

Conclusion

The cycle of unworthiness—both internal and external—is a complex and painful reality, but it is not unchangeable. The Bible’s law of assumption offers a spiritual path for women to reclaim their dignity and transform their lives from within.

However, it is vital to emphasise that your safety and well-being must always come first. These spiritual practices are powerful tools for healing and empowerment, but they are intended to be used only when you are in a safe space. For those currently in danger, seeking protection and support is the essential first step.

By embracing their divine worth and assuming a new, empowered identity, women can break free from the cycle of violence and unworthiness and step into the fullness of their true selves. The Bible is a beautiful treasure trove of repeated stories, dressed up in different symbols, teaching the power of assumption.
