Never doubt yourself!

“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV.

Never doubt yourself, because the grace of God upon your life is not in vain. The same God who called Moses, despite his speech impediment, empowered him to confront Pharaoh and deliver Israel (Exodus 4:10-12). When Gideon saw himself as the least in his family, God called him a "mighty man of valour" and used him to save Israel (Judges 6:12–14). God doesn’t choose the qualified; He qualifies the chosen. Like Paul declared in 1 Corinthians 15:10, your confidence must rest not in personal ability but in divine enablement. When you embrace God's grace, you stop shrinking back and start showing up with boldness, knowing, as Philippians 4:13 affirms, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Throughout Scripture, men and women who dared to believe God rose above doubt and limitation. David, just a shepherd boy, spoke boldly to King Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine” (1 Samuel 17:32). Elijah stood alone before King Ahab and declared a drought, not by human strength, but by divine authority (1 Kings 17:1). Peter said to the lame man at the temple gate, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee” (Acts 3:6). They acted not because they were the strongest, but because they trusted in God's grace and power. So never doubt yourself—receive the grace, believe the Word, and move forward in bold obedience (Daniel 11:32, John 1:16, Joshua 3:3). Your steps of faith will activate the supernatural.

Prophetic word: “Do not look at yourself through the lens of weakness or past failure. I have clothed you with My grace, and I am calling you to rise in boldness and confidence. As I was with David before Goliath, with Esther before the king, and with Peter on the day of Pentecost, so I am with you. My Spirit is within you, and My favor surrounds you. You are not inadequate—you are anointed. Do not shrink back, for you will see My hand work mightily through your obedience. Step forward, speak, build, lead—because I have empowered you for such a time as this.” (2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:31, Esther 4:14).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace that makes me who I am. I reject every lie of self-doubt, fear, and unworthiness, and I receive the fullness of Your strength, boldness, and power. Like Paul, I declare that Your grace in me will not be in vain. Help me to walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You live in me. Let Your Spirit stir up courage, wisdom, and bold action within me. Lord, open doors that no man can shut, and let my life be a testimony of what Your grace can do. I decree that I am more than a conqueror through Christ, and I rise today in divine confidence, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
