Bible Verses for Self-Confidence: A Christian Perspective

As Christians, most of us do not know or read our Bible as much as we would like. I fall into this category.

Unfortunately, when we neglect to prioritize the Word of God, we miss out on having scripture at our fingertips that can help us through life’s daily challenges.

We at CMHI understand and want to help provide you with that Word!

           Welcome to our ongoing series of Bible Verses for Situations. The first installment is Bible Verses for Self-Confidence. We hope as you go through these verses, you find a couple of common themes:

1. You are capable. Period. 
2. You are capable because your God is capable. Even bigger PERIOD.
3. Your God loves you enough to die for you and make you a valid child of His. 
4. With the tools God gives us, there is no reason for us not to have Confidence.
