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 dong the OBS of A Confident Heart and this devotional would be the perfect companion! The icing on the cake!!
I would love to be able to do this bible study and learn to turn my thoughts around an no longer deal with anxiety and fear.. I want to have a deeper relationship with God and live Free!!
Hi Renee!
I am working through your book “A Confident Heart” with the P31 online book study. I have come to realize that I would never speak to a friend In the way that I speak to myself…..:( Why are we so hard on ourselves??? Fear of not being “good enough” has become a way of life for me…..and I am tired of it. Anyway…I am enjoying this book study and I am hanging onto God’s truths and getting rid of the lies in my head and heart…..Thank you for writing such a wonderful book!
I would love copies of this devotional for myself and a friend.
Love in Christ,
Kim
Although I am an older Christian, I want to have that confidence that is talked about in your devotional. I want to be able to share with others the love of Christ.
I would love to win this!
I cannot wait to read this devotional! What a great way to start my day! 🙂
I am a retired teacher/ youth pastor’s wife who will be 65 next month. In my head I know a lot but it has not all gotten down to my heart even after all these years. I still desperately need that “confident heart.”So. I would love to win to have these helps on my continuing journey to be fully and completely the woman of God He wants me to be.
The book has been a blessing to read and is helping to restore and build my confidence as I analysis the next step forward into my future. Thank you! 🙂 May God Bless you and your work.
I’ve spent the last decade-or-so so completely involved in serving my family and pushing aside anything that would personally nourish me. In the process, I have lost all the personal confidence I once had. I know the Lord is taking me on a journey to rediscover who I am, what nourishes me, and to bring back that confidence I once had, so He could really use me in additional ways, for His kingdom. This devotional just seems like a great tool to aid in that journey.
Praying for God to direct your steps during this journey. May you stay in step with the path that he has laid out for you and may you hear his voice.
Blessings,
Donna

This is a great encouragement!
Glory to God!
May God bless you!
Mihaela Bob,
I would very much love to win this book as I have no income with which to buy it and it would help me become stronger in my walk of faith each day. Thank you and God Bless
I have loved this Bible study! It has changed my way of thinking, and has helped me stop the pattern of doubts and “what if” thoughts. I see and feel God up close and personal. Thanks Renee for writing this book and to the Proverbs 31 organization for leading the Bible studies. It has changed my life!
Can’t wait to read. I have 3 kids and 2 grandbabies and I just seem to mess everything up! Looking forward to this! Thannks
I’ve always been in and out of learning about how to live a life of Christ and am truly seeking a way to help me get there. I just happen to come across the comments about this book and truly feel connected with it and inspired. I would be honored to be able to own a copy and share it with others!
I have the book but haven’t had a chance to read it yet but it truly speaks to where I am at. I want the God confidence to be who He has created me to be instead of allowing my shortcomings to hold me back. I can’t wait to read the book and would love to win the devotion set.
I would like to win and share with my sister who was given up for adoption when we were little.
I’m currently in a Bible Study (What Happens When Women Say Yes to God) and I think this would be the perfect follow up study for us to do next. I’d love to win so that we can learn to be confident women for God.
I would like the opportunity to share this book with a dear friend, Amy.
Thanks!
I just keep on feeling like I need something that would help me become more confident again and since our money is very scarce we don’t get to buy many of these books.
I’m in dental school right now, and some days are really trying with seeing sick patients and then completing the work load as well. I try my best every day to be a cheerful, christian woman and would love to learn how to become even stronger through God. I can’t wait to read the book!
