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 unable to buy the book right now but am excited to be entered in the drawing to perhaps win one. I just can’t get enough of your Proverbs 31 encouragements and the other ladies there. So I imagine the book would be like the jackpot of encouragement. Thank you
Stay Well

I am doing the online bible study now with P31OBS and I would love this devotion book to go along with it! It is a daily battle and struggle to remain confident and not let the enemy steal our joy and confidence! This devotional would be essential in helping maintain the right attitiude!
I have been thru a lot in the past 2 years being diagnosed with several different diseases and having to have joint replacements. I struggle with my Confidence level because I am only 50 years old! My mind wants to do so much but my body is not cooperating and I am blessed with 3 Sons, Daughter-In-laws, 8 Grand Children and 1 on the way and I want to be a positive influence in all their lives! I would love to have the devotional to add to my morning quiet time & Bible study!!!
Praying you are a living legacy of faith to your loved ones & future generations.
Blessings!

Proverbs 31 Ministries has helped me a lot. I have been a daily devotional reader for 2 – 3 years. This looks like an amazing way to learn and grow in Christ.
Would love to do this devotional with a couple friends of mine! Thanks for doing the contest!
this book is really gonna help. cant wait to get one
I have just found your website recently and already God has blessed me in so many ways. It seems that the scripture and devotions for the day is just what I “need” for that particular moment. Thank you.
I will definitely be doing an online Bible Study and I plan to purchase the book that goes along with the devotional book.
I know a friend that could really benefit from this book as she battles some self-criticism as a missionary. Also, I would love to get a daily encouragement from the Word thru a devotional on this topic.
I loved your book and can’t wait to read the devotional. So many of your thoughts hit right home with me!
Love the OBS. Would like to use in addition!!
God has given me a passion to encourage women and help them see who they are in Christ. I feel this devotional would be a great asset in helping women see who they are and the relationship God wants to have with them. Thank you for your ministry to women everywhere!
Would love to have this bundle. I have the book and it is just what I have needed for years. Thank you, Renee for all you have given us.
I need daily devotional to keep my thoughts focused, can’t wait.
Reading your book “A Confident Heart” was such a blessing to me. What a wonderful follow-up with the devotional. Thank you!
I would love to have the opportunity to share this with my daughter! Confident Heart was so powerful and life changing.
I would love to the chance to win. I am on disability right now so money is tight and I cannot purchase the book right now. Thanks!
I am always excited to read anything from the Proverbs 31 team. Being able to share this with a friend who has read the book also is exciting. We have done studies together and since our last one ended we have been missing the chance to connect. This would give us an opportunity to stay connected through our quiet times.
I am excited about the new devotional book, I have two of your books already. I hope I am a winner of one of your free copies of this.
I am going through divorce after 21 years of marriage. Confidence is not my strong suit right now- I feel like this devotional will help me on my course to finding out who I am. I would like to have confidnece in ME before I begin to embark in another relationship. For better or worse, my friend is also struggling w/ her own confidence after her divorce- I feel we could do this , like so many other things we are facing, together.
I’m so sorry you are going through divorce. What a blessing you & your girlfriend must be to each other!
Blessings!

I did the online Bible study of the book a while ago and I absolutely loved it. The book is a wonderful tool that Renee is using to reach women who don’t have the confidence they would really like to have all the time. That is me. I am excited that the devotional book is coming out and I know it’s going to be just as great as the book is. I would love to win it!
