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 read all of the above comments and would really love for my life to change the way all of the people above speak of. I want to be free of the pain and misery, once aand for all!!
The first line of the book description is what I need desparately. “Exchange fear-filled thinking with faith filled believing!”
Even if I don’t win, I will buy this book and encourage my friends to do the same. In this world, we need all of the strength and support we can find – and we need to share it with one another.
Blessings,

This past years trials have really shaken my faith. My confidence level in God and myself has gone up and down. This devotional will enable me to remain consistent in my walk with Christ and be a light to those around me.
I would give this devotional to my precious daughter, who homeschools her 4 children under the age of 13. She leads and teaches them in the truth of the Lord.
I’d like to win these two devos for me and my daughter. She is going through some medical challenges. Presently she is not driving and depends on several to get her to work. She has a doctor’s appointment in 3 weeks and will be making a decision about a treatment. Doing the same devotional will deepen our relationship further. Being in the Word everyday together may help her come to peace about the decisions she will make. We may not live close to each other, but we can talk and message each other each day about what we are reading!
I am loving the book right now ~ going thru the study online right now. I can only imagine the power the devotional book will have. Empowering women to leave the doubt behind and trust in God. I would love to share this with my friends and women’s outreach at church.
Confidence is hard to come by sometimes. I have struggled with weight and dieting my whole life. I was finally able to quiet my heart enough to hear God tell me that my body is a temple for the Holy spirit and I don’t have to feel trapped anymore. Now that I am winning the battle of the bulge I could sure use some help building that confidence! Looking forward to a great read!
I am in need of some direction. My husband passed away in a tragic car accident on his way to work at the age of 40. That was May 31, 2012. I have been struggling ever since.
I can’t wait to continue the journey I started with “A Confident Heart” by getting the book of devotionals! I hope to be able to share this with my Bible study group for Christmas! Thank you, Renee, for your faithfulness and transparency…God has used your books to change many lives!!! God bless you!
I would love to have this devotional!
Since learning about Proverbs 31 ministries, my soul has been fed in so many ways — daily devotionals, book studies, on-line Bible studies, power verses, etc. As a mother of young children, I know this would speak to me. My only problem would be deciding with which friend in the same boat to share the second copy!
I am confident that God is God and that He is in control of everything even if it doesn’t look like He does!! I am not sure I have the time for this Bible Study but I would like the opportunity to find out.
I would love to receive your book. I have been studying about faith and have just re united with a group of friends to form a prayer group. I think this book would help me tremendously during this time of my life.
I would love to win this devotional because I need daily reminders as to whose I am. I also would love to share a copy with a young mother that I know will be blessed by this. I woud also like to lead “A Confident Heart” Bible study group at church or in my home (Oh, Gosh, did I just #SayYes AGAIN!! 🙂 Love you , Renee, sweet sister in the Lord!
My husband and are parenting 3 teenagers and one pre-teen right now. There are days when my confidence is weak. I have read the book and loved it. The devotional would be such a daily boost to help keep me going. I have friends in the same situation and I know this would be a blessing for them as well!
I would LOVE to win this AWESOME package! I have been wanting to buy the book as I know it would help me with my insecurities and lack of trusting God! I need so much help in this area!
I’m excited for this opportunity and would love to share it with a friend!
I’m trying to follow God with regards to a new leading in my heart, but my life is already busy, busy. I’d love to live every day confident in this definite calling and in God’s power and strength to help me bear fruit in this new ministry.
I love helping others. If I win this bundle, I plan on using it to help other women through their difficulties in this life. The Lord wants each and every one of us to be confident and bold women. He wants us all to prosper. I plan on sharing this book with all of those around me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share Gods love with others. Be blessed!!!!
This book changed my life, and I have bought several copies to share with women in my life! I’m SOOOO excited about the devotional. God is doing great things through the ministry of Renee Swope! Thanks!
