Self-criticism is crushing, but God can free us from it. All we have to do is be teachable.
The Bible gives us a lot of examples of people who found the courage to be themselves by believing that God loved them for who they were.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
Learning why we distance so we can learn how to draw closer to God.
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
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?
One of the most difficult aspects of walking with God is believing he will exert his power in and through our lives.
Regret is painful, but when it is attached to spiritual failure (mistakes or sins), it can destroy our faith.
