12 Bible Verses for Confidence

Confidence can be a struggle for many people. Life has ups and downs that can sometimes leave us feeling defeated and out of place. But, God wants us to have confidence in life. He wants us to be sure of who we are – and that can only be found in Him. When you need a morale boost, what better place to go than the Bible? Let’s remind ourselves of who God says we are, who He is, and then let these 12 Bible Verses for Confidence encourage us.

Who does god say we are?

The outside world can make it easy for us to question who we are or to seek our value from others. That’s why it’s so important to know who we are in Christ – from God’s own perspective. Thankfully, the Lord doesn’t leave us guessing. He says so many wonderful things about who we are! For example, we’re children of God (John 1:12), a friend of Jesus (John 15:15) and a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are made for a purpose (Ephesians 2:10) and are loved and chosen by Him (1 Thessalonians 1:4). Furthermore, as you delve into the Bible, God continually illustrates who we’re called to be through His guidance.

While all of His thoughts about us are absolutely true, it’s still possible to fall into times of trouble and low-self-esteem. As humans, we are all flawed and born into a fallen world full of hardships and sin. Therefore, our belief in who God says we are must be paired with the belief of who we know He is!

Who is God?

This is the ultimate question, isn’t it? Throughout all time, it has been asked over and over again. At one point, you’ve probably even asked yourself. And once more, our loving God gives us answers. He is the great I am (Exodus 3:14). The ultimate creator of the universe and all good things (Genesis 1:1). Therefore, it’s important to remember that the God who created the wind and the waves looked at the Earth and decided it needed one of you, too. How incredibly powerful is that?

If the almighty God, our light and salvation (Psalms 27:1) declares that you are loved by Him, how can you argue with that? He tells us that His promises do not change (Psalms 89:34). That in Him, we can rest and rest assured that what He says is true (Matthew 11:28-30). This gives us CONFIDENCE! Confidence to become all that He has called us to be. He has already given us everything we need to succeed, because it is He who lives within us (Galatians 2:20). Nothing is impossible for the Lord (Luke 1:37). He is capable of all things. Therefore, so are you through Christ.
