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 had already purchased “Confident Heart” and was reading through it, when a friend called me one morning and was sharing her heart about a lot of “stuff” going on with her. (Which she would do often with me) But as soon as I was hearing her words, I felt this I had to give her this book. It was made for her heart! So I did! She has it now and I would love to have another copy, but also the devotion to go with it so we could do it together. She actually wanted to do that with the book alone this summer, but I couldn’t because of how busy my work and family life is in the summer. This would be a perfect time to do it. We live in the Adirondack’s of New York and winters are long and cold. Thank you for sharing you heart in writing this book and for making a devotional to go along with it!
I love great devotional books and this looks like it would fit perfectly in the season I am currently going through. I need a good dose of a confident heart. Please pick me!
I would like to win this book because I enjoy reading devotionals.They help me a lot in my life.I always like reading Christian books very much.
Just love your devotions from Proverbs 31 and have really enjoyed your book “A Confident Heart”
My friend and I are so busy these days and we would like to connect more spiritually and this devotional would be perfect
I love devotional books!!! And since I am currently going through the online Bible study for a Confident Heart and am loving it!! Thank you for sharing your experiences and love of Christ with us!!!
I am trusting God through a difficult season…all forms of encouragement is needed. What great news about this daily devotion. My daughter is on an 11 month mission trip all over the world. This mom struggles at times.
This book is on my list of books to purchase and read. I have found myself feeling really distant from God lately and I’m really trying to push through to stay close to Him, rather than do the natural thing and just think about myself. I’m trying to stay positive even though at times I feel really discouraged. I think this book would really help me through this time and regardless of if I win or not, I will be reading this book in the near future!
My best friend and I meet every week – one on one- to uplift, encourage and hold each other accountable. We would love this book for our next study!!!
I feel as though Satan is attacking me spiritually with the string of bad luck that has been hitting my family one after another over the past 3 months. I know God is there, but I can’t hear him. I feel like all of these things are happening because I am not doing something right.
God is so faithful! And His word is full of His promises to us. I would love to find more. I’m excited to see how your devotional can help me find more of God’s promises from the Bible and give practical ways for me to apply them to my life.
I want to stop living from a spirit of fear and insecurity. Sounds like the book and devotional would speak to my struggles.
The words of encouragement I receive from p31. help me start everyday more positive. Would love to have this this .You ladies are a blessing in my life.Thank you.
I am a women’s ministry leader at a small town church in Illinois. Our thought life is so important in how life is. I love the am/fm radio analogy. I constantly am looking for something to share with the women in the church to encourage them, draw them into a Bible study, help get them focused on God’s Word and any other thing that might be needed. I haven’t read the book yet, but love the title of a Confident Heart. God’s blessings on you Renee.
I recently received an answer to prayer in the form of a new friend who walks with me and helps start the day with the Lord and a positive attitude. We have been discussing on our 5 am walks the power of our thoughts and our words. This devotional seems to fit right in with what God is teaching me.
I have doubts so often and worry consumes too much of my time. I could use a refresher on confidence and a reminder about God’s role in my life.
Thank you for creating the devotional book! What a great resource. I look forward to sharing the devotional with my daughters and small group. Praising The Lord all day long for your heart and obedience to the ministry of women.
“A Confident Heart” is my 4th OBS and I can see the way that God is changing me already. As a result of the OBS, I am digging into God’s Word (the Bible) everyday and this is effecting my relationships with my husband and son. So exciting to be a part of this OBS!
This book is Awesome! I can’t believe that Renee has literally spoken right to me through very similar experiences such as hers that relate closely to my own. I’m loving this book!! I can’t put it down!! I’m so glad I decided to continue being a part of the proverbs 31book studies. God is Great!!
I am in the place of waiting … and I have a friend who just go through a separation from her husband. Both situation, different circumstances . .we are just waiting for the Lord to lead us into something better. Life is hard right now for both of us, but we are hoping. I know this devotional books will help both of us to keep on looking to God instead our circumstances .. thanks for the chance.
