Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus
I recently re-read Nelson Mandela's Autobiography, A Long Walk To Freedom and it confirmed for the this essential truth: The journey of 1000 miles begins with 1 step. There is something that God has put in your spirit and it needs to come out. I know you are at the edge, trying to decide if you are going to try again. Are you going to start that business idea that God gave you, are you going to pursue that new relationship, are you going to pick up the pieces and try again? .The answer to all your questions begin with you taking 1 step forward. Here is a prayer to help you regain your confidence.
You know my heart and you know that I love you. I’m trying to do my best to follow after you, but sometimes I get tripped up. Sometimes I lose focus. Sometimes I forget who I am in you and start looking to the world to tell me who I am. On the days when my confidence is fading fast, build me up again. Remind me of the simple truth that confidence can only be found in chasing after you. I can walk around confident knowing I am loved. I can walk around confident knowing I am enough. I can live knowing I have been rescued, free and called to do great things. Help me remember these things, wonderful Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
