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 win these books so I can share them with my daughter. She is recently divorced with a small child and having a tough time. She has let Satan beat her down. I loved the book but thought maybe a devotional would be better for her.
I heard Renee speak on The Confident Heart at the Compel Conference, and have read the book. I think the devotional would be very helpful in daily reminding me that God is in control, and none of my own failures or struggles can separate me from God!
I have been working in full-time ministry at The Walter Hoving Home for almost 5 years. It was 6 years ago that God, through this ministry, saved my life from drugs and alcohol. Before coming to the home, I had achieved a number of accomplishments in my life including obtaining a Masters Degree in Education and teaching Highschool for 6 years. Needless to say my addiction robbed me of everything and my identity. Now that I am working in ministry, my goal is to foster and encourage change in women’s lives. I am often insecure in my ability to influence women and would love the encouragement that you offer. I need to be poured into so that I can continue to pour into others.
I struggle with confidence. Since I was a child with four brothers who liked to pick on me… Through sexual abuse a few years ago… Through up and down health issues for the past five years… Through the chronic pain this past year… And most recently, through losing my job two weeks ago. Satan has used this to his advantage, telling me I am not good enough and that God doesn’t love me and that if He did then none of this would be happening in my life. However, in my head I know this is not true. I know God loves me. I know He cares. I recently opened my Bible to see where I would randomly land. I opened to the book of Job. And god has been showing me so much. Just because we are “good” or “Christian” or “righteous” doesn’t mean bad things won’t happen. We are called to consider it pure joy…. Even when life sucks we are called to praise Him!!! Why? Because testing of our faith refines us… Just as gold is purified by putting a flame to it. Confidence: it can make or break you depending on where your confidence is placed.
Today was a perfect day for me to view this information regarding A Confident Heart Devotional because I am trying to search God’s will for my life through a very trying time in my life. I have been struggling with my husband leaving me and now that we are separated, I have been trying to find peace and I know it only comes from God. His grace and peace surpasses all understanding and I need a confident heart to rebuild the most treasured things in my life that the storm has torn apart and it feels like they have been blown away for good. God uses the storms to make us stronger, but I need this book to have confidence through this journey I am facing. Once God has mended my life’s turmoil, I would like to devote to helping others through their struggles as well. There’s a song that says, there may be pain in the night, but joy comes in the morning. I am taking one day at a time and seeking the joy that only comes from God daily. His grace will find me because he can provide something beautiful to touch me.
Im always looking to get closer to God i would love to read this book and share it with others
I am almost 40 with a loving & understanding hubby, and three kids (10, 8, & 6). After being a SAHM for the last 10 years I have reentered the work force part time at the beginning of this. I know there is a transition time but I am struggling, especially this week. I love all three of my children but sometimes wonder why God blessed me with three kids. I guess I just don’t feel worthy enough to do the job He’s given me.
Yesterday and this morning was a rough morning with my 8 yo son. When I read the devotional on here I just sat there thinking of how much God loves me. I was reminded that God is there with me giving me the strength & confidence I need to get through the day. Thank you!
I would love to win the devotional because I am currently doing the OBS, and I am LOVING the book. It is sooooo speaking to me. And I would like to win a copy for a friend because I have a very dear friend that got me into the last OBS (which was my first) and I think this devotional would be a great way to tell her Thank You for being a sister in Christ with me. 🙂
would love to give to my daughter who has lost confidence in her self.
Your book, A Confident Heart, along with God’s leading and guidance has literally changed my life, my confidence level, and most importantly, my relationship with God.
I have been blessed by the love of the Lord. 6 months ago I pulled myself out of a terrible situation. I was killing myself with drugs and surrounding my entire life with people whom i called my friends doing the same thing. I saw suffering in each person except myself. I was so desperate for an answer to my life that was going so far downhill. I called to my friends who attended an AMAZING church in Austin, TX. I found my soul was starving for the Lords love. He saved me and I was baptised by the name of Jesus Christ and devoted him as my savior. I am still digging into everything I can to heal so I know this book would be a huge benefit to my new found happiness.

I feel this book and devotional will give me the confidence that I am lacking and help me to help others build their self esteem and confidence that I come in contact with.
I have a friend who is going through all sorts of thing with her children and also with a possible foreclosure on their house. She struggles so hard to stay strong and not be afraid but it creeps in everyday. We are on the phone alot to keep each other focused on how strong our God is and therefore we don’t have to be. It would help each of us to have this book. Thanks.
I did the Confident Heart study with a wonderful group of ladies at Legacy Christian Church. I would dearly love to win the giveaway and have the opportunity to experience the devotional.
Confixence has long been an issue with me. I would really benefit from a devotional on this issue.
I have been struggling and my faith is damaged. I’ve been to the dropping off point
In my life. What’s the use in continuing with this fear every day? It’s to much to handled. How do you give something to God and then not worry about it? Fear it ?
As I read the inspiring words about your book I thought oh please this maybe what helps me to get back on track.
I’m entering in hopes of being a winner of one of your books.
And would like to say thank you for the time you have invested in writing these books.
God bless you!!!
The devotional books would help my friend and I to connect on a different level
I sometimes feel so inadequate trying to be a 52 year old mom to beautiful 7 year old and 11 year old girls, be a wife, help take care of an 86 year old uncle, work full time and balance other responsibilties. I feel like I am on autopilot and my “job” is to take care of others needs. I at times feel so helpless and alone…that the Lord doesn’t even hear my cries. I feel this devotional would be my stepping stone to get back in tune that I am a valuable part of God’s plan and I am worthy to so things for myself without feelings of guilt. I want to be reminded that I am “God’s Girl” and other “positions” I hold in my life shoudl be worthy of Him. I think this devotional would be a gentle daily reminder of His love for me and how important I am to Him.
I hadn’t heard of this book until now, and it sounds like a wonderful insightful book. It is on my “to get” list.
This topic is so real for women today. It remains a struggle for me at times to be confident in who God says I am, and what the world and me dictate I feel I am.
I am overwhelmed with the need for communicating with God and His Son Jesus and dealing with sickness. I am at my wits’ end in procrastination, and trying to help a brother who hasn’t spoken to me since May of 2005!
The Proverb 31 drvotionals sustained me as I supported my sister through her cancer fight. So many times they spoke to what we were dealing with. My sister loved listening to them. Now my cousin is battling cancer. l can’t be there all the toke and would.love to give her this devotional.
