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’d love to win this as an amazing gift for my sister and me! We love the book and this would bless us even more!
I would love to win this for my mom & I. I could sure use something to re-ignite that flame in me right about now and this book sounds like the perfect thing to do it!
Renee: I have been blessed by A Confident Heart and hope to share the vision with others who need it so desperately. I have started a non-profit to help women in crisis and would love to use this as a resource to women who need Jesus so desperately.
I was so excited when I saw the title of this! I have recently begun a transformation in life to become more positive and become more confident. Having a confident heart is one aspect I never thought about! I would love this book to help me make that change as well!!! Thanks!
I love the book and I am reading it and doing the P31 study for the second time. There are so many people I would love to share this book with, but I have ie on my husbands kindle so I am not able to share it right now. I would love to have a copy to share with a friend! I woe love the devotional to go along with it what a great tool this would be!
This devotional looks wonderful! I am due to have my second child soon and I would love the encouragement everyday. Need to pick up the book. 🙂
I have been working toward being more confident after my heart was broken. With God’s grace I have been doing better. I have been trying to gently encourage a friend to be more confident in the Lord and not let her circumstances drag her down. This book would be a great way for each of us to work together and encourage each other.
I am struggling with anger, forgiving, trust, loneliness, social anxiety, disappointment, fear of the future, etc. mostly because my husband became an alcoholic and pill popper, threw us, myself & 2 daughters away. His mother is the most manipulative, in denial, plays the victim, favors men, weirdest person I’ve met and she blamed me and couldn’t face the truth about her son. 2 years later, my ex apologized and took full responsibility, finally. He is in prison serving a 6 year sentence for the rape of our daughter then 10 years young, now 14. That is what hurts the most. We were both raised in Christian homes, this was a devastating event for us, besides his lying through his teeth, eye to eye with me for 2 years, before shod revealed the truth and I took my girls and left. Anyway now his mom denies ever bring upset with me even though I have the email she sent me 3 months after I left him, which was attacking me as a person and was twisted with bible verses. I can’t get past this and of course I am skeptical now even more than I’ve always been kinda a critical, negative, melincholy kind of person, like my dad. Ugh, sigh. So needless to say I need help from God. I am interested in reading your book and devotional. God bless and thank you.
I would love a copy of this book because I know God is calling me to something and stirring inside of me to stand up despite the way my life has turned out. I know He is telling me the time is now and I need to move. I think the timing of this devotion is perfect for me.
This excerpt excited my heart! Over the past year I have discovered what a “head case” I am and how much my doubts, fears, insecurities have kept me from being the woman God created me to be and from living the life He has planned for me. This book sounds like something that will support my journey into breaking through the barrier that is my mind. THANK YOU!!!!
I would love to be the winner if this drawing!
This is just what I have been looking for. 🙂 I want to be an example to both of my young daughters, especially to my 12 year old and all of the worldly “stuff” that she sees and hears everyday. This would be a wonderful gift.
I have enjoyed reading the book A Confident Heart, I can honestly say it is the first book I’ve read outside the Word of God that has been life changing for me. It was exactly what I needed in a major time of transition for me. I can only imagine how the devotional will keep my mind on the promises God has given me. I am buying the book for a friend and would love to be able to give her a devotional to go along with it.
God Bless what you are doing in the lives of women.
I would love to win this devotional because having a confident heart is something I’ve always struggled with. It’d be nice to have a buddy to do this with too! That’s why I’d love to win two copies! 🙂
We have lost our 30 year old daughter, our first born, to a man. We are not speaking at this time at her choice, she has chosen a man that continues to destroy her life, at her choice. It is a daily struggle & refinement in our home & with my mom as well. This is her first born grandchild & she is TRUELY hurting as we all are. Jesus is the center of our lives & He brings us daily PEACE in our lives. We would gift this book to our daughter & would ask you to pray over it for Gods continued will in her life & that she would find The Lord, His forgiveness, peace, love, faith, hope, grace, mercy & guidance back to His throne. Amen & Amen
I would love to read this book. It’s funny on how God works sometimes. I woke up this morning feeling a certain type of a way. First let me give you a bit of back story. I have separated from husband of 4 years about six months ago. We married young and there was a lot of verbal abuse to the point that I wanted to kill myself. After trying to juggle salvation and marriage I decided for my sanity I needed to leave. I left the situation and took my daughter. We still communicate for my daughter, but my issue has always been confidence and self-worth. OK ( back to this morning) I woke up this morning with my daughter (who peed in the bed) I was just so upset and caught myself as I was lashing out at her for being a child. I really didn’t feel like a good mom or parent at the time. I apologized and we got ready for the day. It bothered me that I was upset with my daughter because I was upset with myself. The mind is a tricky instrument. As I embark on this journey of reconciliation, separation, and or maybe even divorce I would like to get more confident and mature with my relationship with Christ because sometimes I feel alone, tired, stupid etc. I hope in addition to the email from Proverbs 31 Ministries that if I were to win this book, it will help me have confidence in my heart that will be displayed on the outside for God’s Glory. If I don’t win, I still ask that you pray for me and my situation along with everyone on, involved, and that have read this blog.
You deserve better! My best friend lets people hurt her which started with her dad. I think she finally wants to leave her boyfriend who is verbally abusive. She is divorced and has 2 kids. Her whole family Israel up and she really has no one but me. Anyway I just wanted to say that you definitely deserve a healthy relationship! God bless you. 🙂 -Rachel Rickert
What a great giveaway! I am doing the OBS right now and it is fabulous!! Thank you for this book and sharing your heart.
A Confident Heart was a HUGE transformation tool God used in my life to begin crushing the overwhelming shadows of doubt & fear I was, and still struggle with. In the midst of panic attacks, and extreme darkness in my life, God worked through this book in mighty ways to bring healing & hope. I believe fear & doubt are daily thoughts Satan fills our minds with to try and destroy us. It’s a daily decision and effort to choose to believe in God’s truth and believe that through his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit that lives within us WE ARE FREE! I would love to have a copy of the daily devotional for myself and a friend. What a hope to share 🙂
I love the book….am now taking my 2nd OBS with A Confident Heart. If I would win I would give the second copy to my daughter who is going through issues and trying to get her life back on track.
I love this book.
