9 Bible Verses About Confidence in God

for the LORD will be the one you rely on, and he will keep your foot from the snare.

Common questions
What does the Bible say about confidence in God?
Christian confidence rests on God, not self: “the one who started a good work in you will keep working at it until it is finished” (Philippians 1:6). Because the Lord is our helper, we can say with confidence that we will not fear (Hebrews 13:6).
Which Bible verses build confidence in God?
Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 13:6, Psalm 27:1, and Hebrews 4:16 are among the strongest. They anchor assurance in God’s character and finished work rather than in our own performance.
How can I be confident when I feel inadequate?
Hebrews 4:16 invites us to “approach the throne of grace” with confidence, to find help just when we need it. Confidence comes from who God is and what he has promised — so it holds even when your own ability gives out.
