The Confident Woman

No one wants to admit that they struggle with confidence, but the truth is the truth. We all have times when we struggle with some aspect of ourselves that makes life difficult, dry, and dull. Losing your confidence or never having built it up, to begin with, makes relationships, endeavors, and purpose hard.

But let's face it! You can't be who God has called you to be, when you struggle with your confidence.

Do you struggle with your confidence?

The first step to building up your confidence, is realizing that you are struggling.

Do you have a secret thought life, where you are really hard on yourself?

• I suck at this. I'm just going to fail anyway, so why should I try. I'm just not cut out to be a married.
• That was such a dumb mistake. I'm always messing things up. I feel stupid

Do you find it hard to deal with the way that you think about yourself?

• I hate how I feel about myself, but I don't know how to change it. I guess I'm never going to change. I should quit while I'm ahead.
• I guess this is why people don't like me. I don't even always like me.

Do you talk to yourself in a way that makes you feel less than, in comparison to other women?

• Those clothes aren't going to fit me like they did her. I will look ridiculous.
• I can't help anyone because my life isn't put together like hers is.
• Why did God give me children anyway? I can't do this. Other women are super and I'm just, me.

Have the words that other people have spoken over you made you feel defeated and like a failure?

• You'll never meet those goals. You should just stick with something simple. It's too hard for you. Why can't you get yourself together. Aren't you a grown woman? Just go get a job and maybe you'll amount to somethin'.

Maybe you say with your mouth, but don't actually believe in your heart that you are worthy of love. Does any of this sound like you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you know when you struggle with your confidence, you struggle with your peace. It's hard to put yourself out there in front of people, whether it's your husband, your children, or anyone else. You know that it's hard to be authentic and vulnerable because you fear that you might be rejected. You constantly feel like the world is looking at you and judging you based upon your lack and inability to be more and do more.

Let's be honest for a moment. When your confidence is gone, you have no peace. When you have no peace, it becomes easy for the enemy to steal your joy. If he can steal your joy, how will you live out the purpose that God has given you as a woman, wife, and mother?

Your relationships matter, but so does what you think and feel about yourself.

If you want to be confident in who you are, so that your relationships are more fulfilling, you have to do something now. If you are tired of wondering if you are lovable, beautiful, smart, or worth it, you have to take a step to be intentional about dealing with you.

The lack of confidence can cause you to have fear and to give 100% in your relationships and in your endeavors. You might even feel like you always have to prove yourself, but you don't have to. You have to embrace how God sees you, so that you can grow and change how you see yourself.

By enrolling in The Confident Woman course, you will learn how to see yourself differently and how to feel better about being you. Just think, if your level of confidence changes, what else would be different about your life, relationships, and circumstances? You are loved, special and accepted by God, but you must believe it to experience joy in your life.
