How should I deal with my feelings of insecurity?

Matthew 6:32-34“These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

To deal with feelings of insecurity, first we must realize that God knows all our needs and will provide for our well-being.

Philippians 4:6-7Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

To deal with feelings of insecurity, we should bring our concerns to God in prayer with thanksgiving.

Ephesians 3:16-20I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. . . . Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. . . . Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Philippians 4:13I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

To deal with feelings of insecurity, we should rely on God’s power and trust his promises to provide for our needs.

John 6:39“And this is the will of God, that I [Jesus] should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day.”

John 17:12“During my time here, I [Jesus] protected them by the power of the name you [the Father] gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold.”

To deal with feelings of insecurity, we should trust God’s protection of our souls. Since we will all die one day, our bodies are not guaranteed protection, but our souls are secure; God will not let Satan snatch us away.

Psalm 37:3-5Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.

To deal with feelings of insecurity, we should read and learn to trust God’s promises.

Isaiah 26:3You [the Lord] will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

To deal with feelings of insecurity, we should focus on God and trust in him. Then we will experience God’s perfect peace.
