DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE IN GOD
For many, including me, the capacity to develop trust in God has often been tied to how I feel about myself and my abilities. Which is why by the grace of God and His design, He has used several individuals at different times in my life to help me develop a better understanding of God and my relationship with Him which has led to a better self-image as well as self-confidence. This being the case - it is ever so important for believers to be engaged in relationships with others who are credible believers. God does not bypass the human process He designed to enable us to feel comfortable trusting Him.
Learning to trust God takes time. And it began with our earthly father which is so important in helping us (as children) develop self-confidence and trust in God. So it goes that if you had a hard time trusting your earthly father, you will have a hard time trusting your heavenly Father. For example, I grew up with a father who was a great provider, but I did not feel that what I had to say was all that important to him. The result: My view of God was that He was great provider, but I questioned if He really cared about what I thought. The view I had of God growing up lacked and therefore my trust in Him was iffy! Don’t get me wrong I thank God for my parents, they were great …but my confidence in God really began to grow as I rubbed shoulders with others who demonstrated confidence in God!
Regardless of how you were raised by your parents, there will always be a need to rub shoulders with other Christians who demonstrate a real confidence in the Lord.
