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)

As women we need to be reminded of God’s plan for us and the security we should have in His love. I would love to have another resource to remind me how to rest assured in the peace He has for us!
I would love to win the book for me and my bestie! We have been with each other through thick and thin. She helped me walk through the illness of my husband and his death. And I’ve helped her through family battles of her own. We both did the “When Women Say “Yes” To God” and we’d love to journey through this devotion too.
God is so good….all the time!!
I would love the book to help my daily life grow in God.
I read all Proverb 31 Ministries Devotionals. + love all of them. You always address problems that happen in every day life.
As women we have such a huge responsibility of how our lives affect so many others. It seems our actions and thoughts can inspire or completely discourage those around us such as husbands, children, grandchildren, fellow Christians, co-workers and the list goes on and on. I want to learn to have complete trust and victory in the power of Jesus so I can be part of God’s plan to break the chains that hold so many women back from “joy unspeakable” in the Lord. Just reading the notes about your new book “A Confident Heart” already inspires me today to begin this journey of “turning my thoughts into God’s thoughts” and sharing this excitement of hope to those around me!
I have been enjoying Proverbs 31 online devotionals for years. I have purchased Lysa Terkuerst’s book, Unglued and Becoming more than a good Bible Study Girl. I would love to read a Confident Heart. I definitley need a confidence boost and need to learn to lean on Our Heavenly Father more. Thanks for all you do through Christ!
I want to share God’s love with other women!!
Self esteem and self worth – and knowing who I am are issues I have struggled with all my life – would love to be set free!
I love your Proverbs 31 Ministry! I would love to win copies of the Confident Heart devotional for myself and my best friend, Cel. We both have been through so much this side of Heaven, and struggle with fear and incessant insecurities daily. It’s funny we believe God’s promises for each other with our whole heart, but when it comes to believing it for ourselves, it’s a struggle! We love the Lord and each other, and are determined to continue to walk this “path’ together with Christ in the center….the daily devotional would be such an asset for our continued journey!
Being that I am always weighed down with self doubt, this would be a great book to have to read on a daily basis. I am stepping out of my comfort zone in starting a new career and business and need all of the uplifting and self doubt armor that I can get. Love the part that you shared. Much luck on you new book.
I would be a great candidate to win this book for a friend and myself, because: I love sharing the good news with other women. If I tell another woman to read a book, they read it just because they trust my judgement and walk in Christ. I would also use this as an opportunity to set up a Bible study with other women and start a conversation, dialogue and exchange about what it means to be a woman after God’s own heart. It would also give me the opportunity to share in encouraging someone the entire time that we participated in the devotions together, as well as after.
I would love to win this book. I feel like I need this devotional book in my life right now!! I am having a rough time with my marriage & raising my rebellious teenage son. On top of that, I have MS and have had it for 6 years. I am 39 years old and life it just rough right now….sometimes it doesn’t seem quite fair. Hoping something like this would help me see things more clearly & lean more on God for guidance.
I recently had the privilege of guiding a dear friend to Christ and I think this devotion would be so encouraging for her…and ME! I’m excited to see her and I grow together and to gain valuable insight on growing up and going deep in Christ.
We walked through a impossible tragedy as a family two years ago, and I stopped to wonder where God’s plans would next lead us. I have looked at my daughters’ bond, wondering how their heartache and acceptance of what happened has shaped them, and realized they really need to find strength and support in each other throughout the rest of their time here on earth. I want to use this series as an accountability devotional for them to gather (through Skype, or face-time) and share how their study in this series is helping them, to draw them closer as not only sisters by blood, but also sisters in Christ. Winning these books and DVD’s would make a difference in our lives.
I would like a copy if this book for me and my friend Bc we are both going through very hard times in life especially our marriages. We feel like this is the end and don’t understand what God is doing. Tried to commit suicide b couldn’t see pass this but God saw fit to spare
I haven’t read this book or even heard of it but it sounds great. I just turned 30 this year and i feel completey at a cross roads….I don’t know where to start. I know with Gods love and support i can do anything…but I still feel so lost. I hope this book would me to get out of living in fear and to be brave about moving foward in my life.
I’m starting to read the book & would love to have a copy of the devotional to go along with it. Thank you Renee for writing it! Blessings! Laura
I have been doing the Confident Heart online study. This is a really good book that encourages deeper
Thoughts on the bible and it’s meaning and how that pertains to me. I would love to have the devotional
To go along with this.
I have attended the Confident Heart online study twice and have truly enjoyed it. I download my book but would like to have a hard copy so that I could transfer my notes into the hard copy so that I could pass on to my daughters. I also have a friend in a small town who has the gift of teaching but is fearful of stepping out and actually doing it. I’ve encouraged her to do your online devotional but she has limited resources. If I won the bundle, I’d send a book and the DVDs to my friend so that she could step out and serve God in this capacity – since I truly believe she has the gift of teaching.
I am excited to win this because I would love to have another tool to help on my journey to a more confident woman in Christ! And how exciting that I would get to share one with a friend!!
Thanks for the opportunity!!
Good luck to all!!
