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)

Would love to share with my daughter.
I would love to win this devotion for my best friend and I. We read the book together and did the questions as a study group. We both have recently lost a child and I have gone through a divorce. We both are going through the feeling worthless and this book has really help with dealing with our hurt and still being confident.
I so want to have a heart without fear…my husband is very sick, I sing Isaiah 41:10 all day to keep me going
I so want to have the heart God desires for me…I must admist fear has been my enemy of late. My husband is very ill. I pray for God to keep me stronge, I sing Isaiah 41:10 all day to myself.
I read the book and loved it!! The devotional….. would help me grow even more!
Our Ladies group completed Renee’s “A Confident Heart” bible study and found it very valuable. The new Devotional Book is a great way to receive Daily encouragement and practical application. I would love to share it with all my girlfriends!
A dear friend recommended this book for me and my 12 year daughter who is in great need of encouragement.
I have been reading P31 devotions for over a year now. I often struggle with fear and a lack of confidence. As a young, married couple, my husband and I are facing many life choices (house, jobs, having kids, etc.). These devotions are a great encouragement to me each day. I would love to have a copy of this book. And to be able to share it with my mom and sisters.
I love this study and I would love to have the Devotional Book as well. Thank you and God Bless. Barbara
I think that this devotional would be a great book on my bed side table. I am doing the online study right now and it is really speaking to areas of my life that I thought were never to be brought up again. A lot of my “doubts” stem from my early adult life and are dragging their ugly heads into my marriage and motherhood. Thank you! This was needed very much!

Why i should win – because i am more than a conqueror, plus a winner, i am above not beneath, the righteousness of God
I would love to have this devotional to help me remember Gods promises for me and my family. My husband of 21 years left me with 5 teenage kids to care for, my confidence to live for God needs a real boost.
Thank you so much and may our wonderful Lord bless you.
Learning these truths has changed my life. It will be a good thing to have a daily reminder to put them into practice. Thank you Renee for being so honest and willing to share your story. I know that is not easy, but I appreciate it. Laurie
hello renee. thanks for your encouragement. Hoping to get a copy of your book for free. I believe it will help me as i journey on the road to healing and recovery from the pain of an unfaithful husband.
I have really enjoyed this book and its truth and freedom. I would like to share it with my daughters.
I enjoyed A Confident Heart and read the book twice! It was comforting to know that I wasn’t the only one struggling with everyday life and someone could relate. I often felt like no one had the thoughts or feelings I did, and this book helped me to understand how much our Lord loves and cares about everything that goes on in our lives. I would love to share this devotional with my friend at work.
I’ve resently discovered your devotionals and I’m amazed how much they are dead on so much of the time. I’ve been encouraged and challenged so many times. Thank you so much.
I would love to be the winner of this give away. It looks like a really great book to build my relationship with God.
My best friend and I started our spiritual journey in 2009. Since that time, we have been baptized, started a small group that still meets every week, and become more like sisters than friends. I would love to take this 60 day journey with her!
I would love to be the winner of this give away. It looks like a really great book.
