The Names! So powerful!!! That list alone should make us confident women because God has left nothing undone! He is all encompassing! If we just turn it over to Him and trust Him, there is NOTHING that He won’t or can’t take care of. I’m going to hang that list on my fridge and in my bedroom, so that when I’m worrying or doubting, or just feeling at my wit’s end, I can see it and rest assured that my God can and will take care of me!
I have fallen so far behind in this study that I am going to continue with all I am doing, but also plan to join the next study also. I know that I have got to get really close with some specific Bible studies as I have no doubt that I will be coming under attack for the next few months. I just found out that I have been accepted to go on a mission trip to work in a Malnutrition Center for Children (babies to 10 yrs.). This is in San Juan, Guatemala. I will be leaving June 23, 2012 and would appreciate prayers for God to prepare my hands to work with these babies. I absolutely adore children and am really excited. But I have some fear creeping in also, as it has hit me this evening that I am not going with anyone from my church as I did the 2 times I went to Africa. I will know no one and it looks like I may be flying out of the Houston area alone as well. Thank you for all that you do, Renee. I am still working through this study, and will see you again in a few weeks for the second time.

I am so like you (or like you were) and I beat myself up for any failure. I’m a perfectionist which has taken me far at work and other areas of my life but this does not give me peace or joy. My peace and joy comes from God when I reflect on who He is and have my confidence in him. Thank you for your devotional today and having us put our names into Psalm 37:23-24. It touched my heart to read itwith my name in it and God’s promise that He delights in my way and holds me up when I fall. Thank you, sweet sister. God bless you!
The righteous shall fall 7 times…relating that to the days of the week is a great way to remember God’s faithfulness to us. God is good!
I love when God reaches down and takes my hand, and lifts me up! I found a wooden cross at a
Christain store with all of God’s names. It’s beautiful and I can look at it every day and priase our heavenly father. Thank you Renee for sharing this study with all of us.
When I heard you read the scripture what resonated with me was the righteous shall fall 7 times. I equate that with the seven days of the weeks so I read it again and said the righteous shall fall daily, but we will rise up again. That means to me that each day is a battle to live confidently and to follow the plans God has for us, but he promises to bring hope to our doubt, and strength to our weakness.
I find reading this book and listening to any video that comes my way just guides my heart into feeling confident. After losing my parents in the last 19 months (not at the same time), studying God’s Word has brought me so much healing. I need the confidence to keep moving forward in my healing and living as an inspiration to my family (who do not believe). It is so frustrating; but prayer and study keep me going. Thank you for this book and this study.
I think knowing God’s many names brings us closer to him. It helps us to know what He is about, where He is from, and where He can take us! This past Christmas we made a paper chain to decorate our entryway. Each strip of paper had one of His many names written on it. It is so wonderful/meaningful, I have it hanging in my daughter’s play room.
Great video too! I must say I always like to check out your decor, clothes, and jewelry…..even though I KNOW that’s not what it’s all about….fun to see. Always looks great. Content was awesome though. :-):-):-)
Amazing chapter. Praying using the names of God was powerful & intimate between God and me! I have pretty recently known him as my deliverer when over and over he told me to stand still and do nothing-he would deliver me. It was AMAZING. As I prayed these names specifically tears began to flow and I believe God was revealing his heart to me. I have always loved and been drawn to the names of Jesus….corner stone…bright morning star…lilly of the valley….rock of ages! Now these names to experience God as I am very much looking forward to!
Love this study, I am gaining confidence!! Especially love learning the names of God. I plan to post them in various places to use for prayer.
I appreciate the video because it serves as a reminder that I don’t have to be perfect. I am the oldest child in my family and high expectations were placed on me as I grew up. I always felt I had to do things perfectly and needed to be a good example. So when I failed at different things during my life, I felt I was a failure and God was disappointed with me. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that it’s ok to make mistakes, and the Lord is there to help you get up again not to mention He’s forgiving.
I already receive your e-mail updates and look forward to opening my e-mail everyday to see what you have sent. You have been such a true blessing to me on a daily basis. I haven’t been able to follow the study exactly the way that I would have liked, so I am going to sign up the one in the Spring. i also receive devotions everyday that I read from Proverbs 31.org. I have ordered several books that have been a true blessing to me from there. I also love your radio program. Thanks so much Renee. You have given me a whole new understanding of the direction that I need to take to have peace and confidence in myself. I want to give it all to God.
Renee and staff:
Thank you for your diligence in bringing the studies to us week by week and day by day. Letting God work in and through you. I will miss it. I like the name of God: El Roi, The God Who Sees Me. God knows everything about us and still loves us. Thank you again for sharing your walk with us.
It feels like lately that things in life are spinning out of control…tension at work, stress everywhere, dreams that aren’t coming true in the time I wished they would, sickness…just one thing after another. It’s easy, really easy to get frustrated and doubt God, doubt myself and doubt those around me. But, being in this study and making a conscious decision each day to praise God, to turn to God’s word and to feed myself with God’s promises, is making such a difference. What I mentioned above is still happening but I am trying to turn my focus from those things to God and live in what He promises.
So grateful for this study and the blessing it has become!
I bought the 3book when it was $10.00 but it is worth soooo much more. I would love to have a hard copy for study. I have been touched each week. But this week is right where I am. I will be reading this chapter a lot!!
I am new to this website but I subscribe the the Proverbs 31 daily devotional. I was so blessed by today’s reading which was a small piece from your Confident Heart book. I too struggle with not being confident and feeling a bit disconnected in my relationships. I see my walk with the Lord as one day at a time and just pray for the guidance that will be needed. I am learning not to worry so much about what others think and just concentrate on living sacrificially to the Lord. I realize that in doing this I will love others far more than I would in my own strength. I am also learning to put people before tasks. I am very tasks oriented and sometimes this means I forfeit time spent in conversation with others. I have sometimes done this because I am more confident in my work ability than my relational ability. I know that God is very relational and so I am slowly trusting the guidance that sometimes I just need to listen and not have a perfect answer for everyone. I have signed up for your Confident Heart study and I am so looking forward to it.
