The last couple weeks have been going really well but today Ive been having some of my old negative thoughts that I'm not good enough and that I cant trust my descisions. How much self confidence should I have?, its like I'm afraid to trust/love myself.

I apologize my computer was acting up and it seems I accidently made multiple posts. If anyone can fix that.

I know how you're feeling. Guilt is something not of God but the devil. He wants you to remember past sins and mistakes and just feel guilty. If you remember that Jesus paid the penalty for ALL your sins and has forgiven you, you will be walking in forgivenss instead of guilt.:)

O.O what alive pretty much said.

I can honestly say I can relate to what you're going through. I struggled with self-loathing in the past, and still wrestle with low self-esteem. One little thing that helped me was whenever I bagged on myself or called myself a name, I tried to give myself up to 5 positive AND TRUE honest compliments to myself. What it did for me is that it helped me discover some true and wonderful things about myself, and I learned how to love myself overtime. It also helped me so that I could see the way God sees me, rather than how my flesh saw me.
*hugs* I will be praying for you, alright? Don't listen to those lies you tell yourself about you not being good enough. It's a trap. Also, if it helps at all, from what I seen of you on this site, you seem like a friendly person. :)

Don't give it to the lies! Just stop thinking about it and trust yourself, and trust God. :)

Thank you! I actually forgot about this post until earlier today when I started getting some rotten feelings. But a few minutes ago I got finished listening to a sermon on Gods love and justice and for some of it I started to get those nasty thoughts of "How do I know I'm saved?, I'm a failure, etc." but I kept listening and realized how blessed I am that Jesus saved me and I got a really great feeling of thankfulness. Ive got to remember this and keep praying. I think I'll be fine!
