Greetings for Christ,
Can I share with you a couple of beautiful truths, that, if you will only believe... yes, only believe, you will have the victory and overcome in Jesus name?
First, you are right! You are not good enough... praise the Lord, sister. Honestly, anyone who thinks they are good enough is deceived!
Let's look at Scripture, then I'll share something else....
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:22-24 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
It is pretty clear....
Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Now, sister, the devil is a liar...the liar, the one who works constantly against truth.
He lies constantly and viciously against The Lord's people, of whom, you are one.
This is what I told that sneaky old liar last time he tried to con me....
He said I was not good enough... I said, "yea, I know!" and then, "But Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is, and He died for me, so it doesn't matter about me, how good I am, cos I am not..... BUT, He is!" (Then I praised the Lord for His great love!) That's the last I heard from that old liar on that subject!
Honestly sister, we are only ever good enough on Christ's merits, not ever our own.... and this is so very important for you to understand..... By grace we are saved, not of works..... Jesus is our righteousness, He is our Saviour... and we need Him 100% to be saved.. not one little tiny bit less... and certainly not one bit of our filthy rags of righteousness will help us one bit, except, that it grants us to receive of His mercy and grace. This is the second point I mentioned.
Let's look again...
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Let it sink in, right in, and next time the thought of not being good enough comes to your mind, say, "RIGHT ON!!" and step out in the victory that was purchased for you by our Saviour's life and blood.
Bless you ....><>

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21
