"subject to fears, doubts, etc.; not self-confident or assured."

"not secure; exposed or liable to risk, loss, or danger."

Insecurities. It amazes me and yet fiercely frustrates me that certain, if not all, insecurities stick with you throughout your life. Well, maybe not all of life, but at 23 years of age, for me they are all of life.  And how do they always surface at the most inopportune times?!  


Feeling insecure...is that part of being authentic?


Judges 6 tells us that Gideon had his own insecurities and God still used him to lead 300 men into battle against a bazillion-man army that had completely taken over and destroyed the region.  A simple man who was called by God, who first had to make God prove himself a few times before finally following God's commands by the way, who did something great.


"God wants to do something in your life that only He can take credit for and will provide encouragement to help you overcome your insecurities so that you can fulfill His calling." - Dan Pride

[God.  Be great in me.  Encourage my insecurities to flee.  Attract my eyes and heart to new perspectives.]
