Hebrews 4:16 “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Our self-confidence has a direct impact on whether or not we reach our God-given potential. Oftentimes we find ourselves battling with our own fears, doubts and insecurities, questioning if we have what it takes. So how do we actually become the woman God designed us to be? How do we embrace our true confidence?
This isn’t an uncommon question to ask. One quick Google search on being confident will surface over 225 million results filled with tips, tricks and how to’s.
However, if your primary source isn’t the Holy Spirit, you’ll find yourself on a hamster wheel exhausted without getting anywhere. He is your source. Acknowledging this simple truth will shift how you look at being confident. Wait patiently on the Lord. He’ll guide you and give you everything you need to become who He designed you to be.
As women on a mission, it’s our job to live devoted to our heavenly Father so that we can experience all He has for us. So go on, sister, and confidently sit at the feet of Jesus. You’re His Beloved.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace – “The throne of grace!” What a beautiful expression. A throne is the seat of a sovereign; a throne of grace is designed to represent a sovereign seated to dispense mercy and pardon. Bible Hub
Reflections: When we put our trust in the One who is trustworthy, we let go and relax knowing that it is covered. Replacing our fear with His faithfulness allows us to experience a sense of peace. God wants to hear all about our fears, our pain and our worries. He is big enough to handle all of it. He wants us to be so confident in our standing with Him that we fear nothing.
What are some ways you can put your trust in God?
Prayer: Lord, help me to experience a new assurance that is only found in you. May the assurance of the King who lives inside of me fill my heart with unwavering faith, trust and God-confidence. I am a woman on a mission after you, Lord. In total surrender and full dependence, I ask you to guide me as I work vigorously and rest peacefully in your presence. And just as the Proverbs 31 woman, I want to become the God-fearing woman that you created me to be. Lead me to live out my unique story and I will follow you with courage and boldness. Amen!
