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)

Hi there,
I find life so hectic and trying to fit in a devotional time is always so tricky so I love the look of this book and think it would help me on my journey.
Vanessa
OH how I need this!! I am an RN who has lost my job due to 2 back surgeries and too many back procedures to count. I need an uplifting presence in my day to day life!! I would be so grateful!!
I am on a journey with God that needs support each day. I feel as if I am on a climb toward His purpose for me..this book would be a wonderful addition to this climb! Looking forward to potentially reading it.
I read the book back in the spring and now I am doing the OBS based on it, but I noticed that I need these reminders from the book to refresh my mind and knowledge on a regular basis, so they will root in my heart and mind. The other copy I’d like to give either to the Women’s bible study group at my church or to the Christian library in our city. I think it would be great to share it with others so they can benefit from it too.
I BELIEVE THIS WILL CHANGE MY THOUGHT AND GIVE ME THAT COFIDENCE I NEED, I AM A MUM AND WIFE AND SOMETIMES THE DEVIL MAKES YOU BELIEVE THAT NOTHING YOU DO WILL MAKE YOU MEASURE UP TO WHAT GOD EXPECTS OF YOU, OR WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS SO CRITICAL OF EVERYTHING AND THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS USING HIS WORDS AND INTIMIDATION TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE WHO GOD WANTS YOU TO BE AND ARE NEVER ADEQUATE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ABLE, AND I AM WHO I AM BY GODS GRACE AND HE IS ABLE TO TAKE THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFIDE THE WISE AND THE WEAK THINGS TO CONFIDE THE MIGHTY, AMEN.
I would love to win a copy of this book because i believe that whatever we feed/fertilize/nurture is what grows. This book would allow me to affirm who I am in God and grow spiritually as a result. It would also give me a word in season for others.
I love this book it has help me alot with my journey with God I have struggled with confidence all my life this book has given me hope and confidence I thank God for opening my heart to learn from this bible study I would like to be able to share this book and devotional with other women.
I NEED this devotional. Going through an unwanted divorce, you can imagine the beating that my confidence has taken. God is walking me through identity, and A Confident Heart was one of my first steps…one I want to revisit for sure. And one I’d like to take others through. My bible study teachers says our group is a launching pad to send us out to start more groups where we as women can help other women. I want to help other women who need encouragement like I need. Who need to know who we are as God sees us.
Always looking for devotionals and bible studies to do. Just started a bi-monthly women’s bible study group. This group is so encouraging and I know that God will continue to do great things with your ministry. I wish I could get this devotional package, but unfortunately we don’t have the funds to do so at this time. Hoping to win it though! Thanks!
It would be so inspiring to have this devotion. I have been blessed to stumble across P31 Encouragement Devotion and Confident Heart? I am inspired to see how your trials were the Father’s will for you, and how you have humbly surrendered to His call. Today many are blessed and set free, because your confident in God, is proof that we serve a Living God, an all mighty God who has unfailing love for all! May we all be encourage to trust God in the trials he has chosen in this present time, and may we thank Him for the blessings that will glorify Him!
I enjoy reading your devotionals and I’m so excited for your book to come out!!
Thank you for this blog post and the timely reminder to keep my internal radio tuned to the right frequency.
Thank you for your devotions. I follow Proverbs 31. I am truly born again. I know death and now I know life. It takes lots of prayer, scripture and support for a woman who KNEW Christ, Left Him, and has now returned to not tear myself up for all the bad choices I made. Thank you for support and encouragement and reminding me I can be confident.
When I received this offer in my email box it was right when I was asking God to heal my heart and lead me to be the woman he wants me to be. Praise God for coming at the right time and answering my prayers!
I am interested in your book because I would like to start a women’s group but I am currently working on my own issues and I feel that the Lord wants me to be prepared to do his work. This would be a great resource for my personal growth and preparation to do His work.
Being confident in myself has always been a struggle for me. I know that’s not what God wants for me, but I need a little kickstart to help me change that 🙂
I would love the devotional! I’m doing The Bible study now at OBS, but also meet with a group of other moms from my church weekly and would love to give the devotional to a couple of the moms just to be a blessing to them…I know it would encourage them so much. I would love it!
I’d like to win these to share with my sister, Carolyn, who is currently doing this study online with me. It would be a wonderful follow-up gift to encourage us more when we complete the study.
I need a confident heart. My life is lived for the Lord. I find myself struggling to stay positive. My husband and i are separated after 27 years of marriage (his decision). We had no children, l am alone and isolated and without transportation and i dont know what to do. I pray and study the bible but still i get so depressed in this valley experience. I am thankful the Lord is with me, He is my light in this darkness. I would love to win but i ask for prayers. Thanks and God bless you.
