Nonfarm payrolls declined by some 22 million at the onset of the crisis, and about half those jobs have been recovered.<\/p>\n<p>However, even August showed some slowing in those gains, even though the 1.4 million growth was better than Wall Street estimates.<\/p>\n<p>Economists worry that a resurgence of the virus in the fall could slow or reverse some of that progress.

You may feel timid and shy, but you can still be bold and courageous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">I want you to know that even if you\u2019ve struggled with anxiety, fear or low self-esteem for decades, you can take back the reins of your life and regain your confidence, one step at a time. As you start to replace the enemy\u2019s lies that say things like, \u201cYou\u2019re not good enough,\u201d or \u201cNo one loves you,\u201d with the truth of God\u2019s Word, which says, \u201cI am the righteousness of God in Christ\u201d (see 2 Corinthians 5:21), \u201cI have all the strength I need\u201d (see Philippians 4:13), and \u201cNothing could ever separate me from God\u2019s love\u201d (see Romans 8:38-39), you\u2019ll find your confidence increasing a little more every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">The more you ask God to help you choose to believe the truth of His Word over the lies of the enemy, it will get easier and easier to be the person He designed you to be, and you\u2019ll become bolder and bolder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\"><strong>Prayer Starter:<\/strong>\u00a0Father, please help me remember who You say I am, and to choose to believe Your Word over the enemy\u2019s lies.
