What is the Japanese equivalent of the word “worthy”?

I’m having a hard time trying to find a similar meaning to the word “worthy”—deserving effort, attention, or respect, good enough; suitable. “I am worthy”.

From what I read online I have found 値する、 ふさわしい、 価値にある etc but the definitions aren’t adding up to the meaning I listed above. Is there a word that I’m missing that would be closer? I also read that this vocab isn’t used much in daily Japanese due to cultural differences but I’m trying to find a word that’s as close as possible to the meaning. Also one of the study guides I’m using had ふさわしい but after looking into the word I am unsure if that’s the same meaning as the way I listed above.
