This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
The Bible teaches how to build confidence in God, not self.
Looking at two key areas in my life that stop me from being motivated to build relationships: pride and insecurity.
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
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?
