Hi, I'm Julie Weber of Liberate Ministries.
Today's topic is called: Diminished Self-Confidence.

All information is quoted from my Lady Liberty workbook on pages 64 and 65.

When something is diminished, it is smaller or made to seem less. Post-abortive women generally have smaller or less confidence.

Ways you might recognize it in yourself:
- When you have little confidence in your ability to do something, how do you feel? Do you feel hesitant to try things because you already believe that you can’t do them? Women who have abortions suffer from this lack of self-confidence.
- If you agree to try something new, do you end up talking yourself out of doing it because you lack the confidence? If the lack of confidence is strong enough and it goes on long enough, it can even keep you from fulfilling your God-ordained destiny.

Later in the course we will learn that the best way to increase our confidence in facing new situations is to understand our “identity in Christ”.

What the Bible has to say about self-confidence:
Psalm 3:3 (NIV).
But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

The Bible also warns us about misplacing our confidence:
1 Corinthians 10:12, (MSG).
Don’t be so naïve and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.

Thanks for watching,
Live, life, liberated.
