Insecurities often make a person think and feel that they are incapable of achieving something, and when these uncertainties continue nagging, they are able to drain a person's life away. Jesus said in John 10:10 that He came so that we may have life, and life to the full. We shouldn't be brought down by any insecurity whatsoever, because we are already made whole in the Lord.

Still, whenever insecurities come, the best defense and offense against them is to take refuge in our God, who is our shield (see Psalm 119:114). We find comfort and strength in the Lord, who "trains [our] hands for battle" (Ps. 18:34). With God, we can take an offensive stance against the enemy's attacks.

Here are some Psalms that you can turn to so that you can find confidence in the Lord whenever insecurities nag at you.

Psalm 23:1-3 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake."

Psalm 37:25-26 "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing."

Psalm 23:4-6 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

Psalm 37:39-40 "The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him."

Psalm 18:6 "In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears."

Psalm 112:6-8 "Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes."

Psalm 18:33 "He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights."

Psalm 18:28-29 "You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall."
