In this devotional, we will ask ourselves a few questions to reflect on how we view God so we can understand who he really is.
6 tips from the scriptures
Any lasting change starts with a change of heart.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
Learning to understand your fear and how to overcome it.
Learning why we distance so we can learn how to draw closer to God.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
The longer you do something, the easier it becomes to forget why you started doing it. This can happen to us with Christianity. If you have a seared conscience, these steps will help your heart heal.
God doesn’t want us to feel like we have to conform in order to be accepted, and wants to help us become strong enough to stand for what we believe and who we are.
What motivates you? Are you more motivated to please people or to please God? Do you believe it’s possible to care more about pleasing God than pleasing people?

Pray about your lack of trust in God. What areas of your life are you unwilling to trust God with, and how has this affected your desire to pray? How has it affected your desire to read your Bible?
