One of the things that most, if not all youth deal with are insecurities. You know, that voice that tells you you can't do something, that your not good enough, that there are better, and the list goes on. This problem is not only among the youth who do not know God, but also, this has been a problem for those even baptized with the Holy Spirit.
Why is this? Because insecurities are our battle. Something we as individuals need to overcome. While the person does not face and overcome their insecurities, they will find themselves stuck. Stuck to make decisions in their life because of the fear of failure. Stuck to making a difference through their life.
So, the quesiton is how does a person face and overcome their insecurities?
The first step is to recognize/realize that we need God for everything. And as the bible says, without Him we cannot do anything. When we humble ourselves and recognize this, we tell are insecurities, "Yes, your right. Maybe there are better. Yes, maybe I cannot do it, BUT God will give me the capacity, the strength, and wisdom to do it".
The next step is to confront your insecurities. If your insecurities say no, then you say yes. If they say you wont be able to, then you say, "Let's find out if I'm not going to be able to do this".
Another thing that provokes insecurities are comparisons. Never compare yourself with others because God makes each person with different talents with their individual value.
Finally, dont be afraid. Well, the fear will come but it is like I always tell the youth. I never let my fears, insecurities, timidness, stop me from doing what I have to do.
God gives a secret weapon to confront insecurities which is called faith. You have it inside of you, now it is time to use it.
God Bless,
