Over explaining/apologizing
Being afraid of rejection or what people think
Questioning if you’re good enough
Mirroring other people
Saying yes when you want to say no

Sweet Friend, we can’t go where God is leading us caring what everyone else thinks.

Today we learn to spot approval addiction, surrender it and get free. Press play above to listen. You don't want to miss this one.

Prayer from the Strong. Confident. His. Faith and Fitness Devotional

Dear God,

Strip away my pride and need for people’s approval, and let me serve you, placing no confidence in the fleshly things of this world. Give me the strength in the power of the Holy Spirit to see that I don’t need anyone’s approval, only yours. Forgive me for ever putting the desire for things, what someone else thinks, or the insatiable need to feel important above you. I see the trap of wanting status and success for the approval of others, but yours is the only opinion that matters.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. – Galatians 1:10

Now you know I’m never going to leave you without asking you to get into action because nothing happened without it!
