Overcoming doubt is critical for success in any area of life and as we gain confidence and develop our faith, our self-esteem also grows. Jesus came to give us abundant life, banishing worry and casting away fear. In Mark 11:24,, we are told to pray as though we have already received what's in line with God's will for our lives.
