You are looking for a clarity and a confidence to move, that only comes from moving. Execution creates the momentum for your next moment. You are praying for a power, that already exists within you.
The authority you are seeking is your own, use it. Trust what I placed in you, trust what is in your hand and trust the work before you. Exercise your faith through action.
It is not a belief in your accolades or your résumé. The problem is conviction. You are not fully persuaded and need the world to validate, affirm and confirm who you are.
When the external has power over your internal, the external will always control you. Your power is within you and not in the words or the approvals of men. Look into the mirror and not out the window.
1 Thessalonians 2:4
For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
