How to Build Confidence With God
Building confidence with God begins by changing where your confidence comes from. The Bible points away from performance and toward identity, trust, and God's strength.
What the Bible says
- Scripture
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.
2 Corinthians 3:5 Your sufficiency does not have to come from yourself alone.
- Scripture
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.
Joshua 1:9 Courage is grounded in God's presence, not personal perfection.
- Scripture
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Proverbs 3:26 The Bible directly describes the Lord as your confidence.
A grounded way to understand this
Confidence with God grows when you stop measuring yourself only by weakness, failure, or approval. It grows as you learn to stand on what God says is true.
