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’m excited to do the devotional!
I am so excited about this book! I am going through a time of dealing with fear and insecurity and I think this book would be a great one for me to have! I haven’t been able to go to church or be around friends because of the anxiety and insecurity. It has been a battle for 10 years now and waxes and wanes. I am working on renewing my mind with God’s word.
I would love to win this package so that I can bless a sweet friend who is at a very difficult juncture in her life.
I would really love to win today’s drawing. I am the house mother at a new Faith based Homeless Shelter for Women and Children in my town. I know that I could use this daily devotional for myself to keep me encouraged in times of doubt and stress and I have a friend, who lives at this shelter also, that is a new believer in Christ and we were just talking yesterday about how she wants to grow more, but she gets confused on reading the bible and just likes to read the devotionals that I have given to her. I think this would make a wonderful gift for her. Thank you for letting the Lord use you to reach so many. May God continue to bless you.
I have been struggling with feeling insecure and wanting to know God really does love me. Proverbs 31 ha been the best devotion I have found and I find so much peace and wisdom from it everyday. I would love to read the new book they are advertising A Confident Heart Devotional.
I would love to win these books as I need these encouraging words. I am in a very tough period and keep feeling God is against me. I need encouragement to help me remember the truth.
My friend and I are going through some changes…New seasons…job loss (We work together) We both need the confidence to go forward in God’s plan with boldness and confidence…Would really like for you to keep us in prayer….
I would love to win this package as we are a very small church and we have started a Soul Sister group for the women. We meet on Wednesday nights as a group to go through a book together so we can grow in the Lord and build a relationship with each other. I believe this book would be great for that class and what a blessing to everyone to be able to do it at no charge. Thank you for the opportunity and look forward to hearing from you!!
I need to remember God’s promises to me so I can repeat them to myself when fear and worry come my way! I can’t wait to do this devotional!
I am so excited for this devotional! I am doing the P31 Bible Study of A Confident Heart and know this devotional will just cap it off nicely! Blessings!
The past 2 years have been tough and I’ve been dealing with depression. I build up my confidence to only let others and situations knock it back down again. Hoping and praying that the ACH OBS I am currently enrolled in will help me overcome this and realize/remember that God is my confidence, not people and things and situations. I have several books by P31 authors with their companion devotionals and they really compliment each other.
Would so love to win this book to help me elevate my faith! Praise God!
This is my second time reading this book and I absolutely love it. I find that daily devotionals are extremely helpful in applying what we learn through bible studies to our lives
A Confident Heart is my go-to book when I’m struggling with insecurity & doubt because it points me right to God’s encouraging word! I stopped counting how many times I’ve read it – at least once a year! I face insecurity constantly and I would LOVE to have the devotional book to really help me with this battle!! Blessings! Huge thanks to Renee and Proverbs31!
I am loving the Confident Heart book and online Bible study! I am sure this book will be a great addition!
I would love to win this devotional! There are so many times in my life that I feel like I’m not good enough at either being a good wife, mother or just overall person. I’ve been through a divorce and remarried. My new husband had an affair after we were together for 2 years…it went off and on for 2 years without me even knowing. I immediately forgave him, because I know that is what the bible tells us to do. I’m not in the place to put judgement on anyone. However; the pain and grief that I went through to heal was a lot to handle! I thought of suicide, but then I thought about my kids and family that love me. We are still together and I have grown to trust him and I think being through something so tragic has made our relationship that much stronger. I have to thank God for that miracle work in my life!
Having recently entered into an extremely difficult and unexpected season of life, I’m learning dependence on God but my faith is being tested, and my courage and strength shaken. Would love to have this for encouragement through this hard time
Reading your book ” A Confident Heart” helped me to place my confidence where it really belongs, with the Lord! Since then, He has enabled me to share my story with other women in a small group for married couples where I have started teaching a women’s session every few weeks. I want other women to see and experience that God wastes nothing in our past and when we place our confidence in Him. I hope the devotional will help me day-by-day to stay on track and help others along the way.
Renee, thank YOU so much for your daily encouragement to women globally. The peek that I had today on your new book is DYNAMITE! Like what you said, I’m my worst critic of myself. For whatever the reasons, I’m my biggest worst AM commentator! I need to tune in to the powerful FM channel. If God is for me, who can be against me? My actions going forward, is to align my thoughts with God’s truth like you said:
“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.”
I’m sure most of the women will also share your book with the men in their lives. God bless you, sister!
I struggle as I am sure many women do with not believing the lies that flood my soul. It is a moment by moment battle and I am so desperate for God’s truth to set me free and to give me the strength and confidence I need each day to live in His truth and grace! I would love a devotional like this one that God could use to do just that!
