Satan is a bully who tries to make us feel small, inadequate, less than and insecure. But we don’t have to believe him anymore.
Often times He’ll use something to trigger our self-doubts and then he’ll pounce on us with lies. Today can be the day you decide YOU ARE are more than a conqueror through HIM who loves you!
I’ve got a short video message based on my book that will equip and empower you to stop letting doubt and discouragement beat you up and start letting God’s Word build you up instead! Watch this for a practical way to beat the bully of doubs with the power of God’s promises.

I am looking forward to reading A Confident Heart. I have realized especially over the last 5 years that everything I start I end up giving up on it because lack of confidence in myself. I have such great dreams, but until I gain the confidence that the Lord created me to have, I know that i will not be able to achieve those dreams.
My biggest confidence problems lie in being a wife & mom. One bad day, disagreement over something tiny, or a meltdown from a toddler & I’m convinced I’m not only not cut out for the greatest job on Earth but also that I don’t deserve God’s blessings. I constantly question if I’m doing enough for God, and I have a hard time seeing my family as a mission field. I would love to win this give away.
This message is right on time, as God always is. I have received promotional work and know it is from God and when I experience what you were talking about, conflict with a peer/friend, I begin to doubt my abilities as a leader. Thank you for the reminder that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and God has me where I am for His reasons!
I can’t wait to read A Confident Heart. I recently had a interview and was asked why they should hire me. I stumbled over my words too embarassed to say anything positive about myself. I ended up saying, “I won’t let you down.” I felt like I had just let myself down with such a weak response.
I really enjoyed the video. I downloaded the triggers and truth and plan to use them. I love this website and I am soooo thankful to the friend who told me about it. I went through a very difficult time last year and this website has helped so much. My motto…Take one day at a time!
I so often feel like I am lacking in so many areas. I look at the 3 children God has given me and feel so inadequate and just plain not good enough to be their mom. I want them to grow to love the Lord and follow Him and feel like I am going to mess that up. Your message actually reminded me that I am not responsible for changing their hearts. Only God can do that. I am so focused on me that and my doubts and fears that I am crippling myself. I know Phil 4:!3 but needed to hear you quote it to remind me of this amazing promise. Thank you so much letting Christ use you to remind me and others of His unending faithfulness and promises.
I am currently suffering from doubt about how I raised my children (who are grown and out on their own), whether I am worthy to serve God in any capacity, sometimes I feel as if I am in the middle of a tornado and confusion is all around me…I feel reading the book, A Confident Heart, will give me a direction and reveal God’s love for me.
I know for sure I struggle with doubt… doubting what others think of me, my abilities as a mother, my decision to homeschool, and the list could go on. I look forward to completing the book, A Confident Heart, and finding God’s promises for me amidst this struggle!
Thank you so much Renee. I have been struggling with a situation and honestly, I have not asked God to help me with it; I didn’t know how, but now I know how to ask. Thank you for your works.
Thank you for today’s message.
The Lord has called me to walk out on the water and do something I never would normally do.
Over the last couple of days I have been wracked with self doubt and the devil has taken many opportunities to amplify this.
The ‘refocus’ was just what I needed. Focus on God and not my limitations.
Thank you again.
I struggle a lot with doubting who I am in Christ. I am so afraid I will let him down again. After my divorce two years ago I ran from God for a long while. I am back now but with all the stress of being a single mom of two and working full time I have worked myself into a stress induced paranoi that I am now being treated for. I know God has forgiven me and I have changed but the mistakes I made haunt me and I struggle with feeling I will never be good enough. I need to recall and speak Gods word about who I am every time those doubts and fears assail me until I can overcome them with Gods truth of who I am. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This was SUCH a blessing this morning! I have been wrestling with lies from the enemy for so long – especially regarding feelings of inadequacy, insecurity and doubt related to my weight and a single season lasting longer than I had hoped – but have been truly asking the Lord to help transform and renew my mind and release me from the bondage of these lies at long last.
Reading this devotional today and the tools on your page seemed like a message from God that has reinforced the need for me to continuously replace the lies of the accuser with His truth and focus more on what God thinks of me as opposed to the thoughts I have about myself.
Thank you so much for this spiritual food today…God bless you!
I’m a newlywed struggling with selfdoubt. Sometimes I wonder how my husband fall in love with me,. Struggling with weight problems and feeling insecure.
Thanks for sharing Renee a great start to my day’! I struggle with finding contentment a lot I feel like I am never satisfied. I also struggle with what other people think of me! I am reading your book right now and it is excellent! I can do all things who gives me strength!
This book would be a great addition to my inspirational books. I recently redidicated my life to Christ and it is completely different this time. I can feel and hear God’s presence all around me throughout the day. When we really truly learn, understand, and believe that God is Love and we confidently put our trust in him supernatural experiences start happening you won’t want to stop. God tells us he is a god who doesn’t pressure or force anyone to do anything, we all have free will. He does not Bless us until he sees we have complete Faith in him and are no longer trying to fix things ourselves. He is all powerful, all knowing, and never changing. Take the burden off your shoulders of trying to be the peace maker and allow God to do his work. I would LOVE to have this book, when I was done I’d then pass it on to the next lady in my life. Thanks so much for your thoughts and kindness Ms. Renee. Women like you are truly a blessing to earth.

I struggle as a mom and wife. I feel like I spend so much time letting my family down. I know that God placed me in this family because I am the exact wife and mother they need, but knowing the truth and accepting the truth are not the same thing. I need to spend more time clinging to God so I can not just know His truths, but also embrace them as my own.
Jenny, I couldn’t agree more. My thoughts exactly.
Wow! Thank you so much for this video! God knew I needed to read (and see) this devotional today. Struggling with self confidence is a HUGE battle for me.
I too was tossing and turning early this AM with lots of self doubt and what if’s. I was thinking of a friend and a time that we both doubled over laughing at something I said. It was just one of those moments that I won’t forget. I thought, “she really thinks I’m neat”. I felt a nudge from God to get up and spend time with him so that he too could show me what he thought of me. More and more he shows me his love and acceptance. I wouldn’t want to live without his assurance, counsel and even discipline.
I have a huge problem with doubt and feeling inferior. My husband is an extremely smart doctor and I only had two years of college and I constantly doubt myself and wonder why he chose me. I feel very insecure around his coworkers. I know this is coming from Satan but I don’t know how to get past these feelings. Any feedback would be great:)
I totally agree, I was so blessed to find your devotional in my mailbox on today, because ive been suffering from this all my life, I must admit i am getting better but I still have far to many days when im struggling with doubt, fear and insecurities about myself. Thank you so much. I would love to receive your book I need all the help I cn get, In Jesus name
