Today I had one of those monumental moments when something I have been struggling with really just clicks and I understand it not just in my mind but in my heart.

The last week I have been reading a book about being confident... something I always struggle with. The book has been wonderful, and she said something in it that really struck with me a few days ago, and I've just been thinking and thinking about it. I know it's true, but it wasn't until this morning that it really settled in me.

I don't need to be confident in myself. Sounds crazy, huh? It isn't though, because I can't do anything without God, and I can do all things through God. So the confidence that I need to have is not in myself but in God. I need to be confident in God and trust in Him to guide me and show me what to do and how to do it. God will take care of it, I just need to make myself available to Him and listen to Him. As long as I do my best, He'll do the rest.

What a relief!

I can totally do that, I have complete confidence that God is both able and willing to take care of it all. I've lacked the conifidence in my ability to do some things, but I do not need to have confidence in me, if I have confidence in Him, I just need to follow Him and I can be confident knowing that I am covered. Whew!
