Reasonable self-confidence is not to be deplored, for it allows man to transcend himself and distinguish from the animal kingdom. 111:6.9
Peter's presumptuous self-confidence led to trouble for himself and others, but he would receive help from the experience he would pass through that night. 181:2.27
The Spirit of Truth gives believers a new consciousness of spiritual joy, security, and confidence, prompting them to proclaim the gospel and the resurrection of Jesus. 194:0.1
