You only gain confidence in any relationship by spending time with someone and staying in touch with them.
In the beginning we were created to have intimate fellowship with God but when Adam disobeyed he lost his confidence in his relationship with God and hid the intimate part of himself behind fig leaves. If you have disobeyed and have guilt and shame instead of confidence, run to Him not from Him. Strip off the leaves that the intimacy may be restored as you stand before Him naked with nothing to hide.
Dear Child,
Confidence comes from spending time with Me. As you spend time with Me you grow to know Me better, and as you know Me better, you have confidence in your relationship with Me.
Carnal confidence is the fruit of pride, spiritual confidence is the fruit of true humility, gained by recognizing your inadequacy while you are in my presence. Your confidence is not in self but rather in your relationship to Me. Be bold, be strong, for the Lord your God is with you!
Thus saith Papa
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
CHALLENGE: If we lack spiritual confidence, we are not spending enough quiet time alone with our heavenly Papa.
