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 have not heard of this book before but it sounds like exactly what I need. I will have to get the book but wld love to have this devo to go along with it. I’ve been a little discouraged with myself lately.
Looking forward to getting this devotional for myself and my best friend. She struggles with doubt. I’ve tried to get her to read the book, but she doesn’t like to read a lot, so the devotional would be perfect for her!
This is my second time reading this book and it honestly has changed my life! I would love to win this new book because all my life I have struggled with self doubt, negative talk, etc. However when I read Confident Heart it was like Jesus was speaking to me. I would like to just flourish on that and use this devotional. I have a new mom friend that could really use this and it would be a great excuse for us to get together once a week 🙂 However, I trust that whoever wins this will be blessed immensely! Thank you! 🙂
I am so excited about the devotional and a chance to win it and other great prizes because I am currently doing this OBS for a Confident heart and it has made me realize and learn ,much about myself and my relationship with God. I love it and look forward to other OBS. renee Swope’s book is amazing. please enter me in the competition.
I would love to win these two devotionals because I feel that I could benefit from them. i could also share them with my teenage daughter to help encourage her on her daily walk with Christ.
A confident heart to combat the lies of Satan with the truth of God is what this exhausted momma and people pleaser needs. I have been encouraged by your devotionals over at Proverbs 31 and I have needed it in this hectic time of life.
Just from reading the unsure of this devotional I know that this book will be a tremendous blessing and encouragement to Christian women.
I could see this book/devotional bringing peace to a friend in need.
I’ve been reding Provers 31 for years and over e last 6 months I have felt as though god has more planned for me. I’ve been praying about what
I’ve heard really good things about this book! So excited it will now be a devotional. I hope to share it with a colleague who has begun attending Bible Study with me. We all struggle with insecurities and the search for identity.
Despite the many doubts I have about myself, there is no doubt in my mind that God gave you a message to write in this book! I know that feelings of doubt, inadequacy, and insecurity fill my mind just about daily – it is a huge struggle for me. And yet (I’m going to be really honest here) I have not yet read your book, even though every time I read something about the book I think it must have been written just for me. I even signed up for the current online bible study through P31 (with Melissa Taylor) and am already behind. I had my mother get it on her kindle when the book first came out just so I could borrow it and read it, and while she did read it and said it was very good, I have yet to read it. I’m not even sure what keeps holding me back from actually reading this book when the promos for the book seem to speak to my heart every time. So, thank you for every giveaway you have and every opportunity to win materials to help us step over the struggle!
I would love to win a Confident Heart Devotional book for myself and a friend! I help lead a moms’ group called FLOURISH, and I am always looking for encouragement and inspiration to pass on to others. I have already been blessed by reading Renee’s book and watching her videos.
This is a complete confirmation for me this morning from a prophetic word last night! But God!!!!! And, SO EXCITED to see what is in store!
The Bible is full of God’s promises for His followers, us His children, His beloved. The world, self and Satan daily remind us of the ways we fall short, lies about you we are and where we have failed. What a blessed reminder this daily devotional is of the truths that can hold us secure in the joy, promises and security available to Christ’s beloved.
I love good devotional books!
Cant wait for this book to come out. So excited to see what God has planned for me.
I am doing the online bible study and I actually feel changes happening inside of me, especially my thought patterns. I’m much more aware of not allowing the belittling thoughts that usually rule me all the time. It would be so cool to win – winning is fun. 🙂
I suggested doing the Confident Heart bible study with my Emmaus reunion group so we started a week late on Mon. Oct. 21st and there were 7 of us. We had some good discussions. The devotional sounds really awesome. Thanks Proverbs 31 ministry
I am a seeker always searching for information and teachings. Your delivery and faith truly resonate with me.
I would deeply appreciate any gift you share.
I looking for a learning tool to help me become more confident, strong and free in the word of God. I feel the Lord is truly pulling and tugging at my heart. I love the Lord and He has heard my cried and this devotional book will help me with my journey.
