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.
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?
One of the most difficult aspects of walking with God is believing he will exert his power in and through our lives.
