Going deeper......
The confidence we have will intimidate those that have no confidence and the intimidation, infuriates!! We feel things for a reason so search them out for answers!! Please don't run from or get mad at what you don't understand!!! We are intimidated when we lack confidence, it is then that we should seek to learn from our intimidators because they obviously know and possess something we don't.
"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;"(2 Corinthians 3:5)
Try a new approach to life and people!! Do you see clearly? What you see is your perception, is it correct? Has your perception been skewed by the words of others, if so you are not thinking for yourself!!!
At some point in the journey of life if you want confidence you with experience discomfort. If you cannot handle some discomfort then you cannot handle the challenges confidence will bring!!! So you will have to stay as you are, criticizing everyone that makes you uncomfortable for whatever reason!!

Make it personal.....Keep it real!!!
Be careful who you listen to, follow and allow to influence your life. It will have a profound effect on you!!

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Psalms 55:22 KJV)
If we take this verse at face value it is a powerful promise from God to sustain us!!! But we need to dig deeper into the verse by reading the whole chapter to see just how heavy the burden was that David cast on the Lord. It will give us even more hope and strength!! Take time to read the chapter 2-3 times, slower and more deliberate each time!!
This burden is so heavy that David's heaviness upon him has him crying loud unto the Lord due to the voice of oppression, iniquity, wrath, and hatred of those that have come against him in every way!!! David's chest is hurting, he feels the terror of death and with such anxiety he feels certain that death is soon!!! He is overwhelmed with fear, trembling and horror!! In verses 3-5 David describes the worst possible anxiety attack that can consumed you!!!
David prays for the Wings of a Dove so he can just fly away to a place of rest that is far away from here!!! David says he is going to pray morning, noon and night because He knows his God will fight his battle for him and win!!! In verse 21 he describes his enemies......they are the dangerous kind, smooth talkers but war and hatred is in their hearts!!
"The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords."
(Psalms 55:21 KJV)
Now let us cast our heavy weight upon our God! He can sustain us because we are deeply embedded in a righteous foundation that cannot be moved!!! Jesus Christ is the Anchor of our souls so cast your burden upon Him because He alone can carry the weight while sustaining us at the same time!!

Trapped?
Do you feel trapped? Are you overwhelmed by feeling trapped and feeling like there is no way out of your present circumstances!! If you think that you are trapped, then you will soon start feeling trapped. Your thoughts will overrule reality and put you in a dark room, alone, in a room full of people!!!
When our thoughts get out of control we generate enough brain power to produce enough anxiety to power the planet!!! When anxiety starts overflowing into other areas of our lives we are not only sinking ourselves but we are taking the people we love down with us!!
You can find this darkness in relationships, marriage, at work, at school, in finances, in sickness, etc...
The sad reality is that you can feel this way when there is no logical reason for you to feel this way!! It's ok to seek medical treatment but please pray that God will guide you to a Praying Doctor!!! But between now and then, cry out to Jesus, it's highly possible that Jesus with get to you before you get an appointment with your Doctor!! (No offense meant to the medical world)
Jesus can stand on the sea shore of your life and hold the waves of anxiety back while holding you with His other hand, simultaneously!!! Jesus can bust you out of whatever has you trapped, just call His Name!!
"Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, WHEN MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."(Psalms 61:1-2 KJV)
