Biblical Principles for Self-confidence and Self-esteem
Believing in God’s Love for Me
As a child of God, I am called to walk in confidence, knowing that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I can view myself through the lens of God’s love for me, and find my worth and value in Him.
Scripture: Psalm 139:14
Renewing My Mind with God’s Truth
Instead of allowing negative thoughts to dictate how I see myself, I can renew my mind with the truth of God’s Word. His promises remind me of my worth and potential in Christ.
Scripture: Romans 12:2
Embracing My Identity in Christ
My identity is not defined by the world’s standards, but by being a child of God. I can walk in confidence knowing that I am a new creation in Christ, and that His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Seeking Approval from God Alone
Instead of seeking validation from others, I can find my confidence in seeking approval from God. His opinion of me is what truly matters, and His love and acceptance are unwavering.
Scripture: Galatians 1:10
