3 Reasons You Should Have Faith In Yourself
I know a lot of people who profess to have complete faith in God. They trust that He will show them the way, keep them safe, not give them more than they can handle, and that, above all, He has a plan.
That’s all fine and good, but I can’t help but feel that this kind of faith deprives us of our individual strengths. Not only does it tell us we don’t have control over our own lives, it tells us to put faith in someone else to solve all of our problems for us.
Having complete faith in God is a comforting thought, but I don’t think that’s what the Bible is trying to tell us at all. Here are 3 bible verses, and what I think they are telling us.
- Proverbs 3:5 tells us to not to lean into our expectations but to have faith in ourselves and our inner voices instead.
- Psalm 9:10 tells us that if we are authentic with ourselves, we will not forsake our values because we will know, accept, and love who we are.
- Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without having faith in ourselves, without loving and accepting ourselves, it is impossible to please God.
Faith in ourselves is how we become one with God (whichever god you believe in).
Have a FAITH FILLED day!
