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)

My friend Dianne and I are both looking for a job. Your devotional will be a great way to keep our spirits up and support each other on our journey.
I have a friend who has walked away from God and church altogether. I would love to be able to hand her a copy of this and to encourage her.
I am on my second time of the Bible study A Confident Heart. Renee speaks in a way that truly grabs you and gives you the desire to get to know God better and seek Him more. Proverbs 31 ministry offered the first Bible study when I was truly going through a difficult, dark period in my life. The ladies who led the study reached out to me and gave me hope and strength when I didnt think I could go on. If I were to win this set, i would share it with someone who is struggling just like I was, and some times still do, so they can know Jesus in a close intimate way. In a way that Renee teaches so well in her book. A book I have shared with many. I am excited to see a devotional that I can have in my hands every day.
I am excited to read this book
The book looks like it could be a life changer for not only me but for my good friend who is going through an extremely painful season in her life. It would be blessing for us both to win this so we can experience growth and encouragement together through “A Confident Heart”.
I am looking forward to reading this devotion and growing closer to God and feel his presence with me all the time.
No matter how hard I work and no matter how much I accomplish at work, I am frequently plagued by self-doubt and worry that I am not valuable enough in my job. This is in no way corroborated by my employers, so I know I need a shift in my thinking!
I would love to win your book Renee I love your book A confident Heart this is my second time through! I know a friend who would love one too! You are such an inspiration! I have been doing OBS for almost a year now and LOVE IT! thank you for what you do! I love devitional books becuase its hard for me to read a whole chaoter of the bible and understand what it is saying so with a devotional i get just a clip and its easy for me to understand and some are stories from peoples lives!
I would love to win the package because I tried to order and it is sold out. I am very drawn to the title and will look for the book itself, but the devotional sounds like exactly what I need right now.
This morning I am really fighting hopelessness and discouragement due to feelings of inadequacy. It seems like I don’t have the strength to do anything good these days as a wife or mother. I saw your email and read the book excerpt that you posted and it was just what I needed to hear! I do want to glorify God with my life but it seems so impossible because of the daily frustration I have because my actions don’t line up with what I really want to do and be. I would love to have this resource as a daily reminder of god’s love and mercy for me through the stories of other women so that I can push through this mud I feel like I’m in. Thank you for your ministry!
I am so excited about this devotional! I have been following the book on radio stations and online and the sessions are so encouraging every time. My husband is battling selfishness and otherthings you mentioned and I am drained from trying to help him. I even got caught up in feeling hopeless. We both need this encouragement daily to get our marriage back on track. I can’t afford to buy the book right now but will hopefully be able to get it soon!
This sample blessed me and will bless my marriage today. Thank you for sharing this. We are always encouraged by you.
I have a teen girl (and several others) but reading isn’t really her thing. I think this devotional would be so helpful in getting her into her Bible and be a great one to do together. I would love for her to help me mentor and go through it again with my other daughters! I’m so thankful for the Proverbs 31 Ministries! 🙂
I would live to win this devotional as I believe it will bless my life!
Hello,
I would be so grateful to receive your book. I have suffered enormous loss in the past year and a half.
Long story short, I lost my mother and 5 days later lost my 26 year old daughter in a very tragic accident.
The accident happened early in the morning of my moms funeral, therefore I was not able to attend her funeral……and this happened in AZ so my husband and son and I felt very isolated from all our friends in
NC.
My beautiful daughter had brought us to a church we just love and it’s because of her that we are now closer
To God than ever before. Yet I still want to grow in my faith and discover Gods plan for me.
I have a lifelong friend who lost her father recently and have been trying to be there for her ad wel
I know in my heart that we could both benefit greatly from your book.
Thank you so much and God bless!

I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss. May God use the “A Confident Heart” book and devotional to rise up a woman of God-fidence as Renee calls confidence in God.
Blessings,

My mom and I are doing this devotional together. I would be lovely to have the DVDs and actually watch and discuss the topics with each other and if we had another book my sister could join us as well.
I’m excited about this book to connect with God on a daily level and grow spiritually! To be inspired and develop a deeper relationship with our heavenly father. A Confident Heart is what I strive to reach.
Would love to have this devo. Using a morning devotional draws me into deeping thinking and questioning about my Walk with the Lord.
I’d love to get this book and devotional so that I could share it with my friend and her daughter who are going through a really hard time right now. This would be great to share with her. Thank you!
I am ready to start this wonderful devotion, to grow and gain more understanding of God’s plan for me.
The books sounds awesome. I would love to read the devotional book. One of my best times is having quite time with the Lord and my devotional book. It keeps me focus on what is Lord has planned for me and his promises. I have read some wonderful devotional books and look forward to A Confident Heart.
Thank you for all you do in this ministry
