This document discusses insecurity among Filipinos. It identifies several common causes of insecurity such as physical appearance, capabilities, social status, wealth, career, and losing power. It notes that insecurity stems from a failure to fully trust God and reliance on earthly possessions instead of faith. Political leaders in the Philippines capitalize on these insecurities by passing laws that criminalize criticism and hide corruption in order to maintain power and avoid accountability. True security comes from recognizing that God supplies all needs and trusting in him rather than relying on earthly possessions or status.

6. I hate myself for being so insecure.
I’m always comparing myself to my friends family, and even
strangers.
“Why can’t I have flawless skin like her?”
“Why can’t I be as toned?”
“Why can’t I have gorgeous hair like that?”
Why this, why that. It brings me down every day.
People notice better looking people more.
I constantly have to do something to stand out from the rest
because of my insecurities create the need to having to compete
even over simple things.

7. To be insecure is to lack confidence or trust, whether in ourselves or
someone else. There are many causes of insecurity, but chief among
them is our failure to fully trust God (Jeremiah 17:7-8). As
believers, we have this assurance: “And those who know Your name
put their trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who
seek You” (Psalm 9:10).
In Satan’s arsenal, one of his biggest weapons is doubt. Satan loves
for us to question who we are and how we measure up to others
(Ephesians 2:1-2;Ephesians 6:12;1 Samuel 16:7). He wants us to feel
insecure over the meaning and purpose of our lives, where we’re
going, and how we’ll get there.
Insecure about what can you
do?

8. Another cause of feelings of insecurity is reliance on wealth and
possessions instead of God. The world encourages us to strive to be
“number one” and promotes the adage “he with the most toys wins.”
If we don’t have the latest iPhone, fastest car, biggest house, or
largest paycheck, we are failures. Yet the Bible teaches us not to set
our hopes on earthly riches but on God: “As for the rich in this
present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on
the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with
everything to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17). Riches, being uncertain, will
certainly bring insecurity to those who trust in them.
Insecure about your status, wealth
and career.

5. New “medical parole bill” because they wanted to kept
from prison at all.
6. Refused to pass anti dynasty law because they are
insecure from losing political power.
7. They are surrounded by bodyguards when nobody

12. Conclusions:

“God will supply every need of yours according
to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”
(Philippians 4:19). When struggling with
feelings of insecurity, never forget God’s
promise: “You will keep in perfect peace those
whose minds are steadfast, because they trust
in you.” (Isaiah 26:3).
