It means you feel anxious and fearful about yourself, a present event in your life, or the future… WHERE does it COME FROM??? Where does INSECURITY enter in? ---INSECURE about your BODY, insecure about your GIFTS, insecure about your WORTH, insecure about HOW OTHERS SEE YOU, insecure about your AGE, insecure about the FUTURE… --- this mindset creates suicidal thoughts, depression, unworthy, failure, --drives people to drugs, alcohol, sex addictions… --At the root of INSECURITY is the FEAR OF MAN----Proverbs 29:25 questions to identify insecurity--- •Do you often need something from others? •Do you crave compliments? •Are you ever afraid you might be exposed as an imposter? •Are you overly concerned with how you look, what you weigh, or how you are dressed? •Do you think about your self‐worth or self‐esteem a lot? •Do you often feel painfully unappreciated? •Do you make excuses for your mistakes, justify bad behavior or shift blame because you can’t handle the thought of failing before people? •Do you show favoritism? •Are you over committed? •Do you get easily embarrassed? •Do you compare yourself to others and feel good when you win or feel envy when you lose? --Or maybe walk out of CONVERSATIONS and have these thoughts: does that person like me, were they offended by what I said, do they think I’m qualified, etc.... but people have MOVED on!
