MY INSECURITIES


I was always feeling out of place, 

I always wanted to get recommendation from others.

I wanted that feeling of belonging to a certain group of people. 

I needed people to approve of things before I did them and as such I didn't have much motivation for anything I wanted doing. A little criticism and I've backed off from that course of action. 

I wanted to be perfect and get everything straightened out.

If I wanted to embark on a project, I wanted all the information at my hand and the whole idea planned out such that I had the end of the project in view.

I had fears of the future.

I feared veering off into anything that would dampen my future or truncate my plans.

I couldn't trust anyone, because I never felt anyone could do anything or feel anything like I did.

Later on at some point in my life, this verse of the Bible became real to me -Ps.127.1 - Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

There was just something I couldn't know or do.

Then God taught me how to trust Him.

He taught be to bring my fears to Him.

He taught me to unburden my heart to Him so much so that He would help me to carry them.

He taught me to trust His heart even if I can't feel his hand.

He taught me that, I must not know everything about what He's called me to do but each step of faith I take will bring me closer to Him.

He boosted my confidence in Him and constantly assures me of who I am and what He has called me to be.


1Sam.2.9 - He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.


Everything cannot be done by your self. 

But God has offered His way. His word is right.

He would make you complete and confident if you are willing to let him take care of everything about you.


Prayer point.

Dear Lord, I thank you because you are able to carry all my cares and burden. I thank you because you are interested in every part of my life, even the ones that seem minute.

I bring my entire life into you care and I ask that you please align my life to your will. I ask that you grant me the faith to trust you even when I cannot see the path you are asking me to tread upon. I choose to trust you completely with my life.


AMEN!
