Title: Self-confidence vs. Confidence in God
Post by: Therese on November 15, 2015, 05:28:00 PM
Some people pray for self-confidence, which is a big mistake on their part, as they should be praying for 100% confidence in God rather than for confidence in self.  It is a very good and beneficial combination to have no confidence in self and all confidence in God.
