Imposter Syndrome by Tony Senor

“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.”

- Proverbs 4:23 (ESV)

“By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God”

- 1 John 3:19-21 (ESV)

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

- Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV)

Imposter Syndrome Defined:

“The persistent INABILITY to believe that one’s success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one’s own efforts or skills.”

- The Oxford Dictionary Definition of Imposter Syndrome

Signs You Might Struggle With Imposter Syndrome
● Do you feel unworthy of success?
● Do you feel that you got where you are by luck or chance?
● Do you underestimate your competence and skills?
● Do you criticize yourself even after others give you praise?
● Do you set unrealistic goals and expectations for yourself?

The main question to be asked is what does the Bible say about WHO we are and WHAT we can do through Christ and the Holy Spirit?
