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 currently participating in the Online Bible Study of A Confident Heart and would love to have the Devotional Book for a daily nugget to continue my journey and staying strong. Plus I know just the friend to share the other book with!
I’m a 46 year old woman that has gone through many trials in the last few years.Surgeries, dealing with two substance abusing daughters. Raising my grandson for years. A alcoholic husband whom I got the courage to leave this past August. Most of the people that know me have no clue how I’ve survived these trails. I knew I was strong but never could figure out what kept me going. Until, I opened my heart up to God through Jesus and fond my new church through a cousin. I have become a faithful believer. Since opening the door I’m a work in progress that is for sure learning so much about myself someone I had lost a long time go. I have lived with a “why me” look on life as if a dark cloud followed me everywhere destine for awful things to happen. I never saw any good in any of my trails but I knew I never felt alone either. ODD but true. Even though I never knew it but God was always with me. Never gave up on me and I honestly believe he showed me where to find him. I have become easier going. I’m softer, kinder and most of all easier on myself. I’m learning forgiveness sets me free not the people whom hurt me but me. I would love to win your gift your books. To continue my journey.
I am going through a very difficult time in my life right now and really need this devotional. I read the book and absolutely loved it. I am finishing a bible study in the next week and would love this book to be my next focus.
Every morning I wake up and start my day by getting my kids off to school and getting ready for work. When I get to work is when I can read my Proverbs 31 devotion through my e-mail. It would be a great start to the day if I could have a devotional to start as soon as I wake up. Even if I don’t win one, I still think that this would be the one for me. I have read the book and I have a bible study group that meets on Tuesday nights. We have been discussing starting our next study on a Confident Heart.
Our daughters are both in college now and I have several young moms I’m friends with and try to encourage. One’s having a particular difficult time and this might just be the thing to get more of the Lord into her day and to speak the truth of His love into her life!
I am super excited about this book! I would love to have the daily encouragement from this new book to keep me going from the great information and encouragement I received from the first one.
I think I would be soooo very Blessed as a woman to daily seek this new Devotional. I love listening to Renee Swope on KLove, and her encouraged for being a mother.
God’s Word is my fuel! Being able to read godly encouragement as I walk this difficult journey in life and to not allow the enemy to come in and plant doubt. Daily words of arming myself in God’s ways, this devotional would be a great blessing on the journey!
Thank you for an opportunity to win. I have been wanting to read your book and am looking for a good devotional. I was just put on bed rest at 26 weeks pregnant so this would be perfect timing for me ..
I’ve been so encouraged by the devotionals from proverbs 31 ministries during this stressful time in my life. I would love to have a hard copy of this devotional book.
I would love to win this book. I’m part of a ladies bible study and I think this would be a great book for us. I’ve always struggled with low confidence and still do. I feel a call to share my own words and I think this will encourage me.
I would love to win this devotional for my mother and I. I have the book, but it’s on Kindle. I am heartbroken at the desperation in my mom. She’s lost hope. Even though she’s a believer, she doesn’t feel worthy. Thank you for writing these books.
I’d love to have the wisdom and encouragement from this book as I seek God for this next season in my life. Oh how I need to hear His heart towards me, guiding me into His truth and the plans He has for me. I’d love to share it with my best friend who is at the beginning of her mothering journey while my children are preparing to graduate and leave our home.
I would love to share this book with my granddaughter. She has a new job and is alone in another city. She is trying to find a church and meet new friends and adjust to a new job.
I have faith that if I am meant to win these devotionals, I will. My friend and I are both single moms and our budgets are tight. She just won us tickets to see Michael W Smith in concert; maybe I’ll win devotionals we can share in our faith journey.
Thank you Renee and Proverbs31.
I believe this will bless me and the ladies in my family and Bible study group!
This devotional is just what my sister needs as she is struggling in her faith and confidence in God’s promises for her life. Reading it together although in our separate towns may help to bridge the gap as God works her through the struggles of her life and helps me be the supportive, faithfilled, confident in God sister I should be.
I would love to win this! I have really been stuggling with this very issue. Sharing my stuggles with a friend and doing the devotions together would be wonderful. Please consider me when picking a winner. Thank you.,
I am at a low place in my life, struggling with self-loathing, pulling inward, feeling of no value. Wear a mask well. Need a devotional like this to eliminate destructive thought patterns and to make positive changes in my heart.
I was looking for a new devotional book & would love to win this one. Thanks for sharing your heart & being a blessing to so many women!
