Confidence is based on hope and trust in God's promises.
We can have confidence only if we first trust and in trusting have hope.
It is best to place our trust in God because He knows what we need and He will not let us down.
Whatever God asks us to do, He will give us what we need to accomplish it.
If you believe this, you possess the virtue of confidence.
A confident person:
Avoids worry at all costs.
Thinks thoughts of confidence.
Uses the gifts God gives him/her.
Perseveres to complete tasks and all responsibilities.
Never quits.
Tells God often you trust Him.
REFLECTIONS:
- Worry is like a rocking chair; you rock and rock and get nowhere.
- Without you, nothing is possible; with you, all things are possible.
- Ask yourself: How confident am I on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest)? Ask yourself the same question 4 weeks later.
