Does your girl ever struggle with feelings of inadequacy in her spiritual life? As her parent you may notice this while she’s lip-synching during worship or prefers not to pray in front of a group.  

It can feel scary to be physically, emotionally, and spiritually vulnerable in the presence of others—especially with believers who seem to have it all together. But that’s the enemy at work, isn’t it? She’s made to believe she isn’t good enough for God—what a lie. 

Bolster your girl’s confidence by reminding her of the story of the fishes and the loaves. God multiplies what we bring to His feet. If she can spare a bit of vulnerability in the name of His glory, He will strengthen her heart until it overflows to those around her.
