Why You Don’t Trust Yourself—and How God Helps You Rebuild That Trust

One of the deepest struggles many people carry into 2026 is a quiet but powerful one: Not Trusting Themselves. On the outside, life may look fine, but on the inside, there’s constant second-guessing, hesitation, and doubt. You replay decisions in your head, ask others for reassurance, and struggle to move forward without fear. This lack of self-trust doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means something inside you needs healing and clarity.

When you don’t trust yourself, it often shows up during moments that require decisions, boundaries, or change. You may ignore your instincts, talk yourself out of opportunities, or stay stuck in situations that don’t feel right. I’ve lived this myself—praying for direction, but still feeling unsure, confused, and afraid to make the “wrong” move. Over time, this pattern becomes exhausting. You start to feel disconnected from yourself and unsure of who you really are.

This struggle continues because many people were taught to doubt themselves early in life. Past mistakes, failed relationships, criticism, or seasons where your choices didn’t work out can slowly break trust within. Instead of learning from the past, people begin to fear it. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 3:5–6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Trusting yourself doesn’t mean trusting apart from God; it means trusting the person God is shaping you to be as you walk closely with Him.

Many people try to fix this lack of self-trust by investing in expensive services—long retreats, therapy sessions, or programs that focus only on talking about the past. While those experiences can be helpful, they often don’t lead to real change, internal peace, or confident action. That’s because self-trust isn’t rebuilt by avoiding life; it’s rebuilt by learning how to think differently, make aligned decisions, and partner with God in everyday moments.

This is where the Confidence Mindset Program becomes a turning point. I help people feel sure of themselves and live on purpose by teaching them how to change the way they think and partner with God to create the life they truly desire. This program is designed to help you rebuild trust within yourself, find peace in your decisions, and move forward confidently—even when life feels uncertain.

Until Next Time Remember to Live Confidently on Purpose…

My Weight Loss Journey: Day 587 – 1 Year 224 Days

In the Weight Watcher’s Meetings the participates are always asked what are the small steps that we can take everyday that will help us reach our goal? This is a very good question, and my answer is self control.

God’s word tells me that I have self control, and that I am in control of my body and thoughts; with the help of the Holy Spirit. So, I have to chose the make a different choice concerning food, and eating late at night.  Let me explain-I get home from work late and when I get home I am hungry, so I would eat my dinner. Then I would go to bed, and thus I gain weight. Many people might say why would I do that if I know I am going to gain weight. And my answer is because I have to eat right, and that is the thinking that I have to overcome. God says that I have self control, so at a certain time I should be able to stop eating and still know that I will be okay. But I don’t, I make the choice to eat late at night, and I know that it is derailing my weight lost journey.


So, one might think then why are you doing this (trying to lost weight and sabotage your self), and I would have to say because I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me and God’s word also tells me that I have self control. And His word continues to motive me to get back up again once I fall down, no matter how many times I fall down. Don’t get me wrong failing (falling down) more than once and back to back is very discouraging and it can bring your spirits down, but when I read God’s word and attend church to hear His word I am encouraged to get back up and take another step in the right direction. Every successful person will tell you that it is good to fail (it may not feel good) because it teaches you something and it helps to build character. The knowledge that I am gaining from Weight Watcher’s can also be applied to my everyday life journey. The bible say that as a man thinketh so is he, so if I think that I am someone that has self control, then I will be that person that has self control. If I think that I am successful, then I will be successful.

So, yes my one small step that I can take everyday that will help me reach my goal is to practice self control as it concerns eating late at night, Because God says that I have self control, so I have it. Now my question to you all is what small step can you take everyday that will help you reach your goals in life? Please share you thoughts and I will continue to share my weight lost journey with you all, until next….
