SELF CONFIDENCE VS GOD CONFIDENCE

Self confidence is a key factor in many situations. Many suffer from low self confidence because of repeated failures. This is especially so in relationship difficulties. Low self confidence leads to low self esteem which then results in repeated failures. These failures just confirm your view of self and results in depression and a negative view of life. Self confidence is related to your view of your self. If your view of self is based on works then if you fail at work it affects your confidence. Work is related to your sense of significance. This is a primary need just like love is a primary need. Many work to be good at what they do and this makes them feel good and significant and admired. However a life built on works cannot survive the challenges of life. At some point you will be challenged beyond your limit to cope. Then what? Confidence in God however does not depend on works but in God. God is the supplier of all my needs for love and significance. In Him I can face any situation and triumph because He is with me all the time. My confidence is in God who is Almighty. Faith in God is the answer to low self confidence.
