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 would love to have the devotion book. Our church just finished this book in a women’s class at church. I did not get to attend any of those because I work, but I talked to the lady who did the study and she is starting a wednesday night group and I can attend! So I would be so excited to win the book!

After years of abuse as a child and then living out of a fractured heart and life for many years as an adult until I was able to begin trusting God, I still struggle with confidence of heart, mind, and strength on a deep level. Through changing churches (for a good reason), God connected me with a dear sister in Christ who introduced me to the Proverbs31 ministry website and the daily devotionals there. Almost daily, God has used these devotionals to encourage my heart–it’s like those women know exactly where I am on that specific day! I know it’s a God-thing, but I’m so grateful He uses people with Jesus-skin on them, as well… I believe I would really benefit from the book–learning to trust my Jesus a little more. I would also love to share a copy with my Jesus sister who introduced me to Renee and the rest of the gals at Proverbs31 as a special “thank-you”!
This is like the icing on the cake! Thanks for doing the devotional. Blessings to you 🙂
I loved the book and have s friend that I would love to hare this with.
I would like to win this devotional book to continue to encourage me in days I struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem, plus share it with my friends and family who need encouragement to overcome the lies and strategies of the enemy who attempts to steal, kill and destroy our joy in Christ Jesus.
I’m so excited about a devotional based on this book!
My life has been strengthened by reading Renee’s devotional thoughts… I know I will be blessed by her devotional!! 🙂
Newly separated from my husband after 24 yrs of marriage I’m challenged to find out who I am & what my full purpose in life is. I want to be a godly woman & mother so that I can lead my sons to a fruitful life & to be the men God has called them to be. Their father is in their lives but not on a spiritual level. As I was listening to KLOVE on the way in to work this morning I realized how important it is for me to be that role model for them. I already struggle with staying in the WORD every day & feeling like I’m not impacting my son’s lives enough. So maybe I should start with me a little more so that I can be focused & confident in who I am in Christ so that I can effectively & affectively lead my children to be the men & husbands God wants to bless them to be.
When we moved to this small town, and I started at church again, this woman and a couple of her friends took me right in. They were like the sisters I had never had. I had not had strong sister (familial and Christian-wise) relationships like that in over 20 years. We both struggle with depression and both had serious health problems during our various pregnancies. By the Grace of God we are both here and our children (seven total between us) are growing up and growing strong. I would love to be able to share this devotional book with her as a symbol of the encouragement that she has shared with me.
Would love to win this for a friend she still struggles with the fact she was a teen mom and both her kids are grown. When I met her she could not even say God and wouldn’t let people pray for her. I can’t wait to hear her say Jesus is Lord.
Looking forward to this confident heart as my life changes and I want God to be there with me every step of the way.
This book sounds amazing. I must get a copy to share with my daughters. One of our biggest issues is insecurity and self-doubt. I’m afraid I passed that sown to them. I welcome the challenge of working with the Lord on this so we can become all that He wants us to be.
I have never read the book, but this sneak peek is very inspirational and going a through life changing challenge I would love the opportunity to not only receive a blessing to rebuild my confidence but the chance to share this blessing.
Excellent book, so many applicable thoughts. I have shared the book with others in my church and community. Looking forward to the Devotions book as well.
I am really wanting to grow spiritually and mature in my daily walk. I think daily devotionals are a great way of doing this! I would love to win something!
I am reading A Confident Heart right now & following the online
Bible study. It’s only week 2 and I am can feel God working in my life &
changing my heart. I am excited for the weeks to come. The daily devotional would be
a great way to continue on this journey!
My journey toward confidence began 4 years ago when I protected my children and myself, removing an abusive/alcoholic father from our home. It has been a long journey of finding new ways to seek His will and understand where He wants us to go. This book may be the roadmap for that next part!
Brave Mom (That is what I will call you),
Praying for you and your precious children.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard (and guide) you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11
Be Inspired By Him,

I would love to win. I purchased this earlier this year & it has been such a blessing. I have a few people that would love Renee just as much as I do. Can’t wait to get the video & devotional.
Confidence has always been my weakness, I’d love to read something directed to that area of my life. Thank you for the opportunity! Great giveaway!
A Confident Heart is sometimes a daily if not hourly struggle. I would love to share these with my sisters.
