Insecurity........it stinks!

One of my biggest weaknesses is insecurity! The enemy uses it so much in my life! He makes me doubt myself and keeps me from doing things because I don't feel good enough, or I'm afraid I might fail! I'm afraid of what others will think of me!

Today I was struggling with feelings of insecurity and having a little pity party for myself! In the midst of this, God made me realize that feeling insecure is not only doubting myself, it's doubting Him!

He doesn't ask me to have it all together or have all the abilities it takes to accomplish something. He simply asks me to obey and He takes care of the rest! It isn't always for me to understand why or how, just obey!

So, if God has been laying something on your heart, but you've been doubting yourself (and ultimately Him), I challenge you to step out in faith and obey!

I would also appreciate your prayers for me as I try to allow God to help me overcome insecurity in my life! It's one of those ongoing battles! I have to surrender it over and over!
