We are all unworthy. The feeling of guilt and unworthiness is one of Satan\'s most dirty tricks. Ever notice that the priest prays for the forgiveness of the congregation because of his unworthiness? As long as we acknowledge our faults and ask forgiveness we are brought into God\'s grace.
Don\'t forget the true meaning of the word \"paraklitos\" in reference to the Holy Spirit. In most translations it is rendered as \"advocate\", \"comforter\", or \"paraclete\". While it means advocate or comforter, it has a deeper meaning. Just as the word \"Satan\" means \"accuser\" , in ancient Greece, a \"paraklitos\" was your defense attorney in court! So don\'t forget, if Satan puts the idea in your head that you can never measure up, remember the Jesus Prayer and that the Holy Spirit is your defense before the throne of the Almighty God!
