confidant
When things get rough where do you go with your problems? Who do you confide in? i think a lot of our problems and anxieties could be alleviated by changing this one simple thing in our lives. All too often we do things like, worry and mope. Actually what we really should do, is thank God for opportunity to grow and pray. We find ourself confiding in silly things and we get caught up in ourself. Michael Catt said, "People have largely rejected the word of God as the basis of their authority and become gods unto themselves bowing down to 5 gods who have self as their first name: self-righteousness, self-will, self-pleasing, self-exaltation, and self-confidence." If we put all of what we have into "self" what left do we have to give to God? We live by his grace alone and nothing good has come from ourself, so why do we put some much trust and worth into our own bodies? We find it so hard to confide in Jesus over our friends and ourselves... but lets be honest its easier to confide in a close friend than someone you barely know....
