I have struggled with people pleasing for a long time and God has been so gracious and mighty and powerful to help me come out of it. 

One of my favorite scriptures about people pleasing is this:

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10 NIV)
