Here’s a peek inside:
“I can’t do it all! I am not cut out to be a wife, a mom, a daughter, a speaker, a writer and all the other things God has called me to.” I had barely opened my eyes, yet I already felt beat up by feelings of inadequacy. My thoughts were against me, and my feelings were too. About that time, my radio alarm came on and my thoughts were interrupted by Twila Paris. With confident assurance, she sang truth to my soul, telling me it was not a time for fear, but a time for faith and determination. She challenged me not to lose my vision or be carried away by my emotions, but to hold on to all that I had hidden in my heart, and all I believed to be true. Then she reminded me of the most important truth of all: God is in control.1 As my thoughts aligned with God’s truth, my whole perspective changed. I went from feeling afraid to feeling determined, from feeling out of control to knowing God is in control.
Every day we have a choice – to either to let doubt beat us up or to let God’s truth build us up.
In the same way a radio has AM and FM frequencies, our thoughts do too. They are either AM (against me) or FM (for me) thoughts. Honestly, we are often our worst critics and have a lot of AM thoughts. And if our thoughts are against us, our feelings will be too. The next time you get feelings of inadequacy, stop and identify what you are thinking that is making you feel that way. Then compare your thoughts to God’s thoughts found in the Bible. Do they match? If not, find a promise in God’s Word to replace the lie that has filled your heart with doubt and start thinking about that promise. Even say it out loud and pray the words, asking God to make them true for you in that moment.
For instance, when doubt comes against you, telling you that you’re weak and all alone, focus on the truth that God is for you! You can be strong and courageous because the Lord your God is with you. He promises to never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6, NIV)
Then why not turn that truth into a prayer – claiming how much God is for you: God I’m so thankful You are for me. Because You are for me and with me, I can be strong and courageous in this situation. You promise You will never leave me nor forsake me. I’m choosing to think Your words that are for me instead of listening to the doubts that so easily come against me. You have full access to God’s power and His promises to live with a confident heart. But it won’t just happen because it’s possible. You have to take action! Just like I tuned into a Christian music station the night before, let’s be intentional about tuning our thoughts into God’s thoughts toward us, today and every day! Lord, help me remember today that You are with me to fight for me against my enemies of insecurity and feelings of inadequacy. In all these things, I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
When I say: Everything and everyone is against me. God says: I am for you! “What, then, shall [you] say in response to these things? If God is for [you], who can be against [you]?” Romans 8:31 (NIV)

I am really enjoying the online Bible study of this book. The book is wonderful, the fellowship of the ladies in my group is encouraging. Together they are a true gift, and a blessing. I stumbled upon this in a way that some might call “an accident”, I don’t believe it was accidental. I believe it was God intervening to heal my heart. Praise to our Lord.
I would love to have this beautiful devotional to encourage my growth in Christ…thank you for doing this!
My sister and I would love this book. We both have 3 little kids and need all the encouragement we can get.
I would consider it a true blessing if I was able to win this package. Not only do I find this study helpful to me – I have two daughters that need this so much and a friend that needs help in building her self esteem back up.
Good luck to everyone that may be able to blessed with this winning.
I just told my husband that I needed a devotional for me. i just feel like i need a guided lesson. Not just willy nilly reading. Thank you for the offer.
Pretty sure this book would qualify as a need in my life right now. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
They say it takes 30 days to develop or change a habit. I would like to develop the habit of better self talk about what God says about me and infuse more of His truths to me. This devotional would be a wonderful help.
My friend and I have been guiding and walking with each other with God and encouraging each other in hard times. I would like to win the book for the both of us because both of us struggle with insecurity and needing God’s worth shined into us.
I have the book but would love to have the devotional to go with it for a deeper study. I live in PA and my friend Heather, lives in CA. We encourage each other on different sides of the country and yet are connected through Christ. I miss her terribly. We are always praying for each other about lack of money, time, problems with our kids and constantly feeling a lack of confidence. I don’t have a lot of money right now, my oven is broken and my kids have been to the doctor for breathing/coughing problems for the past month, so you can add lack of sleep to that list. I would LOVE to bless my friend in CA with a copy of this devotional. She is a blessing to me, and I wish I could do more for her. Please keep us both in your prayers.
I am looking for such a study to grow my confidence as I am stretched again and again.
I have been reading A Confident Heart – this book is so inspiring and uplifting! I can only imagine what the devotional holds me and any other women that would read it! I know it will be awesome – and that God will definitely be speaking to me as I read it! Thank you for letting God shine thru you as you share thru your book writing.
I love to win the book because I need confidence. It has been a rough year and I need encouragement daily. I know God’s in control, but somedays its hard to see beyond the problems.
I would love to win this book as I’ve got an almost-16 year old AMAZING daughter who struggles with severe test anxiety. We’ve discussed that those feelings are not of God and that He’s with her at all times, just ask for His help. I believe your book could really help her with this struggle. I’m praying for God’s favor that I might win this wonderful book so she can really understand God’s promises and love.
Thank you for the opportunity!! May God Bless you!
What a blessing it would be to use this book for myself and a friend. A perfect opportunity to jump in the Lords word together when we’re not feeling sufficient. When we are doubting. When we need lifted up. By the Lord. What a great give away!
I would love to have this devotional to keep me daily focused on Truth when there is so much chaos and deception in the world all around me. The second one I would love to give to a friend who is going through a very rough time right now.
I am so excited to be studying The Confident Heart book and am looking forward to the devotional. God bless all my sisters in Christ!!
I have been going through so much these last four years with a 2 of my 3 children with different illnesses, divorce of 23 year marriage and the realization of the unresolved abandonment issues from the loss of my dad as a little girl. The negative self talk and the walls I have built around myself are beginning to be broken down with counseling. This devotional book would be a great comfort and encouragement for my desire to replace the negative self talk with the word of God and then be able to apply these truths with my children to help them hearing the voice of God’s truth about them.
I have the book and would so love to get the devotional and share this with my daughter. She as well as my self struggle with being confident. She is a new mom and i am a new grandma. We both need each other as we go down this road of being confident and to bring up this new child of God with a new heart and love for our God. I love what i have read so far. Would love to have a the set for us to share on this journey
I tried to buy the book and it is sold out 🙁
So sorry for the confusion as you attempted to order the book. I assist Renee with her ministry and I just got off the phone with the P31 Office. The book is not actually sold out. The books will ship into the P31 offices on October 31st. It’s just a technically glitch that they will be correcting today with their systems. Please try again later today to pre-order your copy.
Thanks,

Thanks to Proverbs 31 Ministries & our Lord’s guidance I have been able to be in God’s Word daily each morning for the first time since I asked Jesus into my heart when my daughter was born! In addition, one of my goals for quite some time was to be in the Word with my daughter daily and now I have had an opportunity to journalize and email my daughter reflections each day which she responds to.
Reading “A Confident Heart” together, would give us further strength to focus on doing God’s work together! Thank you for a chance to be EXTRA blessed by more words of encouragement!
