  1. What encouraged me while watching your video is even though we will fall down and fail, God will always help us up. It reminds me of the song whose words are even if I fall, I’ll rise again for you are my God.

  2. I loved the story of Gideon, but I think the teaching you had about failing was utterly inspired. I think so many of us who are A type people, think when we fail we have let down God. We made the wrong choices, we werent listening etc. Its so easy to beat ourselves up. I think failing is apart of God’s plan for us because it brings us back to Him. Its a reproof and a way for God to teach us something very important. I love also the names of God that you have put together. I think there are a few things that are important to know by heart- the Lords prayer is one and I would like to add these too. I would like to spend sometime each day thinking of the names of God. I think its a good way to know Him more. I liked your idea of carrying these in my purse. Im going to put a copy in my prayer journal. Thanks. (Ive signed up for your comments and shared this on FB and with my mops group. Its so awesome this book is only 2.99. Im going through the study again. It gave me a lot of hope. Thanks for all you do through your ministry. Thanks!)

  3. This chapter was so encouraging to me. It seems that I fail more than I succeed some days. The busyness of work follows me home then I have to take care of dogs & hubby, before having my quiet time. Unfortunately, by that time I’m exhausted & I fall asleep. But just reading your words of reassurance has really helped me be more positive this week. Praise God. We may soon be finished with this study, but this is one book that will not be put away on a shelf. I plan to read it again and make more notes in my journal. Blessings to all my sisters in this study. I will also share on facebook.

  4. Continually thanking God for you, Renee.
    You have become a sister and best friend in my heart even though we have never meet.
    God knew your guidance and wisdom would help me climb out of a very deep pit.
    You have led me to so many amazing woman trusting in Jesus.
    Most days I am speechless when God tells me exactly what I need to hear through you.

  7. Even though I have the ebook, I really want to win a copy for my best friend who moved last year.

  12. I was soooo happy to find out about the Kindle ebook of “A Confident Heart” for 2.99. I bought immediately. I’ve been wantiing to do a study with you for a while, now I can! I’m so excited about getting to know the Lord Jesus Christ better any way that I can. God bless you!

  13. What really touched me was the part about rising up again after falling. Too many times I’m guilty of staying ‘down’ and allowing my circumstances to get in the way of God’s work.

  14. Dear Renee, through your book and God’s word, we have sweet fellowship in our Sat. morning Bible study at our volunteer fire station in our small town. We finally have a safe place to share deeply, and we are reaching out to other women. God’s perfect timing…. I love it that we are discovering who we are in Christ and what God really says about us. We have been praying for our new sister in Christ, “C”, who will leave for Mayo Clinic on Monday. Praying for God’s total healing on her life. God bless you for paving the way for us women to open up to other women. God loves you and so do we!

  15. I too have allowed my failures to define me. I focus on my weaknesses and fill my thoughts with AM thoughts. I have been struggling with this for years. I am working on filling my mind with the FM thoughts. Mind you, it takes an old lady a long time to get it all together. Growing up in a Christian home I still always felt my shortcomings. Instead of focusing on my growth I think I worried about what others would think, etc. Thank you for the opportunity to take this journey with you. Thank you for your words of encouragement and continually lifting us up.
    Through this study, along with the Beth Moore Bible study of Paul that I am going through at my church I am beginning to feel the changes slowly happening. As I go through this “Amazing Race,” I am daily reminded of God’s “Amazing Grace.”

  16. …just thanking God…using you Renee..and thanking you..for being obedient!
    Have a wonderful evening with your precious family.

  18. I’ve only read a few pages of the first chapter of your book and the information that was included in the email that I received from Proverbs 31 Ministries today. I feel very confident that your book will help me to overcome my doubt struggles. Thank you so much 🙂 Just in time–I have some life altering events coming along in the near future. I’ll appreciate your prayers for my family being unified and my children to be safe from all evil that is currently present in their lives.

  19. I am so Thankful to the insight that you have shown me through your videos reading this amazing Book and just the Assurance through your testimoneys in your own life.In Chapter 10 it talks about God’s Mercy and His Amazing Grace.iI Love all the chapters in A Confident heart they have all spoke to me in many areas of My own Life.I Love the part where you say God is not looking for a woman who is Perfect.He is looking for a woman who wants to walk with Jesus and find her confidence through Her daily dependence on Him.I Pray that I show God daily that I am well able to accomplish every task that is set before me.I Thank God for no matter how many times I fail Him in areas of my Life because I am still in Growing Grace with Him that He never stops Forgiving me and showing Compasion on me.I so much wiser now from this online study and have gained so much Wisdom and Knowledge from the Lord.I will not let the devil whisper lies into my ears any longer I will tell him my ears are not trash cans.I will say my Heart rejoices in Jesus and no one can take that away from me.I ask God for forgiveness in the areas of my Life that I was not putting my Full Trust in Him and His Promises. I make this Declaration of Faith.I have a Spirit different from the World.I am Loyal to the Lord and I will follow Him Wholeheartedly I shall Posses the Land for His Glory.I will seek to give Him my time which is due Him I will not let the cares of this Life shorten my time with Him And I will draw Strength in The Name of God.Thank you again for helping us woman all over the world conquer and Win through our Obedience in our walk with God.
