That usually causes some ruts in our faith. When we feel obligated to do things - we often aren't taking action out of love. Obligations are actions that we take when we feel like we have to do something without a deeper meaning.
When we don't have confidence, we are often immediately filled with doubt. Think about it this way...Imagine not having any confidence in your ability to learn something each time you open your bible...you'll never learn anything without confidence.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12)
My hope for you is to start approaching your walk with Christ in confidence. I promise that you will begin to grow in ways that you never thought were possible when you have confidence. I also encourage you to embrace the freedom that we have through Christ. There are people all over the world who don't have the freedom to practice their religion and in America we have the freedom to do that. Please don't take it for granted.
Day 10: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for another day! I am especially thankful for your love and for this life you have blessed us with. I pray that you help us embrace the freedom we have to worship you daily. I also pray for our confidence. I pray that we all start to have more confidence in our walks with you. I know that oftentimes that is tough. But you make all things possible. Thank you for loving us unconditionally.
