Building Confidence in Life
For the entire year of 2022, we – the National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs (NACWE.org) will focus on the theme Cultivating Confidence (#Godfidence) in Your God-given Calling to be who He has called you to be and to do what He has called you to do.
Watch for the #’s

Questions:
- in Life: Do you sometimes look at the big picture and freeze?
- through Trials and Suffering: Do you sometimes struggle under the trials of life, small and big, and wonder where you will find the strength to continue on?
- as Entrepreneurs: As a woman in business/ministry have you started and stopped and started and stopped different projects and wondered why and how to get back on track?
Proverbs 3:26 in the NASB says,
“For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”
The entire chapter is titled The Rewards of Wisdom. And the wisest man on earth, Soloman, gives advice to his sons and to us to seek wisdom first. Only through the wisdom given to us as Christian women entrepreneurs by the Lord, can we cultivate the confidence needed to be who He has called us to be and to do what He has called us to do.
“To HOLD the Reins of Confidence to Reign in life, through trials and as Christian Women Entrepreneurs in service for the Lord and for His people, we must hear, believe and obey God as He leads!”

Life can be so complicated, so busy, so involved!
Praise God! We can HBO-Hear, Believe and Obey with Faith! He is our/THEE SOURCE of Confidence!
Paul said, as he described believers as Ministers of a New Covenant, in 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 NASB:
“Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
We carry this God-given confidence in our hearts, in life, through trials, as Christian Women Entrepreneurs because of Who He is!
Our confidence and “adequacy” and strengths and talents for service come from “God’s empowering presence.”
His Spirit empowers us and gives confidence in life!
In LIFE, The Confident Follower of God Hears the Lord, Believes His Words, and Responds to God in Obedience -because surely our lives and our work/ministry must begin with Who God is and who we are in Christ.
