  2. Hi Renee!
    Thank you! You always uplift my soul and encourage my spirit with your words.
    I think what stood out the most from watching your video was that I NEED to create a relationship with my Heavenly Father.
    I am ashamed to admit it but I do have trust issues with Him. But have I really tried to KNOW Him? No, not really. I see the hurts in my life…the deep ones and I question why and don’t understand His ways. But I haven’t taken the time to listen, to learn, to pray for the answers very hard. I pray in my heart daily for answers to things…but I don’t really take the time to listen much. I WANT a relationship with Him. I WANT to know Him and understand things better. Thank you for reminding me that I NEED that in my life and to set a goal to work on that.
    The other thing I took from your video is to rise up after I fall and that i WILL fall again, but I am meant to rise again…only stronger. I tend to forget that part…that I am stronger.
    I know I don’t comment much here or on Facebook, but I take in very deeply what you say, what you teach what you share.
    I really am excited for and want to get in on your study April 23rd. I want to MAKE the time for HIM and for me to grow closer to Him. Thank you for offering this again because I didn’t make the time last time around and was so very sad I missed it.
    I have your book and now just need the notes printed out and a large notebook or journal and I am ready this go round . 🙂
    Thank you for all you do Renee! May you continue to be blessed for the lives you touch so well and so deeply. Prayers and love going out to you!

  7. I’m definitely in need this week. Jehovah Jireh, and Jehovah Shaloam. My mother had a stoke on Mon. She was really blessed that it was only mild. She has a little trouble speaking, but otherwise is fine. I just feel tired and overwhelmed, we didn’t do any homeschool this week and I’m not feeling too good, so I may need Jehovah Rapha for me and my mom! I appreciate how you say that we get to know God by sharing our experiences with Him and letting Him reveal Himself to us through His Names. You are a blessing to hear and see. It amazes me how your clothes and jewelry always match the room your in! I loved the cross picture behind you as well as the message. Ch. 10 hits the spot with me. I appreciate your honesty and sharing your failures. I want to know God more and trust Him with every part of my life.
    Blessings

  8. Sharing on Facebook now and cant wait to dig in and read your book blessed already by a few nuggets cant wait for more!!!

  9. Thank you Renee. God is always faithful and thank you for encouraging us. I shared your post on facebook, twitter and subscribed to your blog. I want to know God more and I’m so excited that you will be doing another Bible study. Blessings. Joan

  12. How encouraging to know that God realizes we are going to fail and that he longs to be the one to help us up.
    Thanks for the message. I shared on Twitter too.

  13. Thank you for the video message. I need to remember to ASK God for help. I seem to blow it too many times and the more I study this book and His Word, the more it helps me find my way closer to God and a better life. I’m half way through Chapter 10 and it is a nice feeling to know I’m not alone in this journey.

  14. I am continually amazed at how the Lord is concerned for us! I weep with joy because this is the very thing I am having difficulty with this week! You are the second person today that has ministered to me about trusting the Lord! I have been praying last week our “Praying God’s Promises” prayer and this week having that prayer answered. I had read Proverbs 24:16 several times before however, never have I really understood that until i watched this video. It is not in the falling we fail only in the not getting up! But even then God is gracious and holds out his had to help us up when we don’t have the strength to get up! I could go on and on because I can feel him lifting me up just now as I type this!! O blessed is the name of the Lord who cares enough for this little lamb to come help me up!!!!

  15. I love the story of Gideon in the Bible and I love the quote in your book on pg. 197 “we will only overcome our fears by walking through them, holding God’s hand and trusting His heart to lead, protect, and preserve us.” I absolutely could not think of a better line that speaks to me right now where I am. Fears of the future, fears in the moment..it doesn’t matter. I know the names of GOD!

    This is a wonderful study and I am so glad to be part of it. Learning so much!

  17. ~and I also shared this beautiful word on FB today! I pray that it touches more people that can be imaginined! I pray it reaches another heart in need.

  18. your blog and this lesson was a welcome retreat after a few emotionally exhausting days. Just reading the words “A Confident Heart” brought tears to my eyes. I have so not been confident about anything lately. Your reminders were so perfect and so welcome. To know that every time I fail and every time I fall my God is always there ~Jehovah Shammah~ was a great help. I will be printing out the names of God and plan to post them in different places in our home. We are fighting a battle, and under tremendous spiritual attack. However I know God is here, He sees our struggle, and will provide a way out! Thank you so much for allowing God to you you to minister to me and to so many others as well.
    God Bless
