Insecurity is a feeling we all know too well. It may arise from a number of factors ranging from poor self-image and low self-esteem to financial instability, stress, relationship problems, comparison with others, doubts about our abilities, or past negative experiences. When insecurity creeps in for whatever reason, we begin to question ourselves and our worth, and we may end up feeling sad, fearful, or even discouraged.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:14 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. So, whenever you begin to have doubts about your image or your worth, you need to remind yourself that you are created in God’s, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
