Bible Verses About Acne
Many people ask, why did God create acne? Many people struggle with acne, even celebrities, but usually it’s only when going through puberty and then it will start to clear up.
Most of the time it’s truly not that bad at all, just a pimple here and there, but our mind makes it far worse than it actually is. Never let your self-esteem come from your skin.
Be confident in the Lord. You were bought with a price. Acne can indeed be an idol in our lives when we allow it to take over.
I’ve struggled with acne before so I know how it feels. We want everything about us to be perfect, so we stress ourselves about what people see and neglect our inside, which is what God cares about.
God can allow your acne for many reasons such as to teach you to stop worrying about it and always draw closer to Him. Stop stressing and be patient.
He can use acne to help grow your faith, character, and confidence. Commit to the Lord in prayer and get to know Him.
Know He cares for you and is always by your side. Stop picking your acne, stop stressing, put your full trust in the Lord, keep your mind on the Lord, and you will be at peace.

This is awesome! My skin is clearing up now but for the last month and a half my face was breaking out and getting every day due to a medication overdose. I kept asking the Lord for it to go away but instead was getting worse. My face is still in the process of clearing up and I wanted Bible cleansing of my face and I found your article. It’s so beautiful and brings tears to my eyes as I trust God with my heart and face. Thank you so much :-)!!!
Thank you soo much for your article. I’m 17 and for the first time I have been experiencing acne. I’m so used to having clear skin so this is very new to me. I get frustrated sometimes or sad because I just want it to go away but I know God has put this in my life for a reason and reading your article made me realize that even more.
I loved this article, i never has acne before but in a year it got really bad I never knew that acne could be an idol when we let it take over. But this article opened my eyes that God has a plan for me and I noticed ever since I got that acne I been loving my self more and I been growing my relationship with God. I will no longer look in the mirror and see ugly. I will no longer let my acne define my worth. I won’t let it take over for I am beautiful and this wont matter in heaven. I won’t let it define my worth for I am God’s Masterpiece, and for whoever is struggling with acne, know that you are beautiful just as you are . I know that God does not see me as ugly but as a beautiful creation He made. Starting today I won’t let my acne define me. I won’t let it be my idol any longer. I will accept it, for it is temporary. I will love it and I will live my life for God for I am His beautiful Masterpiece!
