Quotes about Confidence
You can be the first. You can be the one to set a new standard. Don't be moved by what you don't see, by who's against you. God being for you is more than the world being against you.

something like this: "Father, I thank You that I have Your favor. Your favor is opening doors of opportunity. Your favor is bringing success into my life. Your favor is causing people to want to help me." Then go out with confidence, expecting good things to happen, expecting doors to open for you that may not open for somebody else, knowing that you have an advantage. There's something special about you. You have the favor of God.

Be wary of people who play up to your weaknesses as a way to convince you that you need them in your life. They'll try to make you think you're not smart enough on your own. You're not talented enough, and you need them to make up for what you're lacking. Don't believe those lies.

People can call you many different things, but you are not what people call you. You are what you answer to. They can call you slow, lazy, too old. That's all right. Just don't answer to it. Answer to "victorious," "talented," "history maker." If you'll do this, I believe and declare, today is going to be a turning point. The bondages from the past are no longer going to have any effect on you.

Know that the "Best Possible You" may not be as successful as your neighbor, but that's okay. The best you may not be as thin as your sister, but that's fine. The best you may not be as talented, as dynamic, or as outgoing as your co-worker, but that's all right, too. Be comfortable with the person God made you to be. You can't get distracted and lose your focus by comparing yourself to others. Run your own race.

God, if You say I'm blessed then I believe I'm blessed. My checkbook may not say I'm blessed. The economy may not say I'm blessed. The medical report doesn't say I'm blessed. But God, I know You have the ultimate authority. Since You say I'm blessed, my report is I am blessed.
— Joel Osteen

You know He'll go out of His way to be good to you.
— Joel Osteen
