The Reversed Effect of Self Esteem Building

It is commonly taught by psychologist that those who are insecure need to boost their self esteem. This however does not produce the desired affect. Insecurity is not caused by a lack of confidence one's self, but it is caused by placing too much confidence in yourself. Security in a being so unreliable, sinful, and constantly changing as one's self is destined to cause insecurity. It is only when all our confidence is in God that we can truly be secure. He never changes, and He knows everything. He is good, and we can trust Him. We don't need more confidence in ourselves. We need more confidence in God.
