Hi my friends, welcome to day 23, Build More Confidence.
Psalms 139.14 says, I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works, my soul knows it very well.
You see, our confidence is rooted in recognizing our unique strengths and ability.
It's understanding that God made each of us unique and fearfully made.
God's created us with a purpose and equipped us with skills
and giftings that we need to fulfill our calling.
And when we fully embrace and understand our worth and value and capabilities,
we can approach the challenges in life with greater assurance.
But confidence is also rooted in our weakness.
You see, the Bible says, for when we are weak, God can be strong.
And we can have God confidence.
We can have confidence that even when we're put in a situation
and we're pursuing our dream that might feel scary or
beyond our skills or capability, that we can have confidence in God.
And so I want to encourage you today, our activations are,
what areas of life do you feel uncertain or lack confidence?
Be honest.
You know, for me, sometimes I feel nervous about, you know,
posting on social media or going out there and sharing my heart.
I love to share it with a couple of my closest friends, but it makes me nervous,
actually, to be out here and sharing my heart with people I might not know as well.
But see, that's also part of my strength because in it, God has to show up.
He has to speak through me.
And for you, it can be the same.
So write down these three strengths or skills that you possess
that can help you build more confidence in these areas.
In addition, ask God where he wants to show up strong in your life,
where he wants to help you in any area where you might feel weak or lack confidence.
Well, let me pray for you today, my friends.
God, I thank you.
I thank you that you create us with unique strengths and abilities
that we are fearfully made in your image.
God, I pray that we'd recognize and embrace the gifts
and the different experience that you have given to us that we could build confidence.
God, I also pray that we would embrace weakness,
that we would embrace and be honest about those areas where we might feel lacking
and allow you to show up, that you would build our God confidence in you.
God, I thank you for your faithfulness, that when you put dreams and desires
and passions within us, God, that you will give us everything we need to do your will.
And God, I just bless my friend in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
OK, my friend, have a great day today.
I pray that you'd walk in boldness and confidence, and I'll see you again tomorrow.
