Cultivating God Confidence in a topsy turvy world

November 05, 2025 by Rev. Mona Scrivens

Let’s be honest—staying optimistic isn’t easy when life feels uncertain. Insecurity sneaks in with one awkward silence, one odd look, or one discouraging thought. But true confidence doesn’t come from believing more in ourselves—it comes from trusting more in God.

David said, “My heart is confident in You, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing Your praises!” (Psalm 57:7).

When we remember who God is, our insecurities lose their grip.
Here are three quick truths to anchor your soul:

  1. My God is for me.
    “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). You don’t live for God’s approval—you live from it.

  2. My God helps me.
    “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” (Hebrews 13:6). His presence changes everything.

  3. My God is still working in me.
    “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” (Philippians 1:6). You are a work in progress—and God isn’t done yet.

So, when insecurity sneaks in—when the silence is loud, when the doubts are heavy—preach to yourself. Remind your soul who God is, and who you are because of Him.

“Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God.” — Psalm 42:5

You can be optimistic in a topsy-turvy world because your confidence doesn’t come from what’s in you, but from Who’s in you.

And here’s the best news: God is still cheering, still helping, still working—because God is crazy in love with you. 💙
