GOD'S POWER - CONFIDENCE

There are times in our lives when we face situations that are new to us and we are unsure if we can handle the challenge.  Maybe you are beginning a new job or you have new responsibilities with a new baby.  God will give you the confidence that you need to handle whatever challenges you are facing.  All you have to do is is ask him.

"Such confidence we have through Christ before God.  Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God."  2 Corinthians 3:4,5 

"...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."  Philippians 1:6

"...for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."  Philippians 2:13

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded."  Hebrews 10:35

"And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming at his coming."  1 John 2:28

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God:  that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.  And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him."  1 John 5:14,15
