I can remember days in my life when I have wanted to hide. Ever felt that way? When circumstances have seemed like more than I could manage, considering the emotional bricks I was carrying in my invisible backpack. I have literally wanted to wear my sunglasses through the grocery store and hide behind my Foster Grants. I have wanted to shut the world out..to let the phone ring.. or the knock at the door go unanswered.
It has been in those precise moments however, where I have known that I needed to rise up..where I have sensed the need to cultivate confidence in Christ when my own self image was shot. When our own confidence is pierced or deflated, our confidence in Christ proves unshakeable, independant of any circumstance. During those times of the greatest amount of stress, we often sense God's presence more clearly.Ask the Lord to build you up, to strengthen your resolve, to help you to rise above your present conditions. Your confidence isn't gone..so don't throw it away. Resuscitate it with the breath of the Holy Spirit
