Ever feel like someone is telling you that you can’t measure up? That something is wrong with you?
If so, have you ever stopped to ask, “Who is saying these things? Who is causing me to doubt myself? Is it me? Is there something from my past that led me to believe this? Or is it the enemy of my soul disguising his voice as my own?”
Satan is the father of lies, and there is no truth in him (John 8:44). Oh how he loves when we believe his deception and fall into the ditractions of feeling inadequate and insecure.
The meaning of the word lie is “a falsehood with the intent to deceive.” Satan intends to deceive us and he does so by getting us to take our eyes off of who we are in Christ and focus on our flaws. That way we’ll spend our days figuring out how we can hide them. It’s exactly what he did with Eve:
“Then the eyes of both [Adam and Eve] were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’
He answered, ‘I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.’” (Gen. 3:7–11)
In response, God asked who told them they were naked. In other words, “Who told you that something is wrong with you?” By asking this, God made sure they knew someone was casting shame on them—and it wasn’t Him.
The enemy whispered lies into their hearts, causing them to move away from Him and from each other.
Satan’s intent is the same for you and me as it was for Eve, but we don’t have to go along with him. Instead we can refute his lies and temptations with truth. If we have put our trust in Christ as our Savior, we can stand on the promises of who we are in Him.
In his book, Victory Over the Darkness, Dr. Neil T. Anderson says, “The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true identity!” Here is a compilation of Scriptures Dr. Anderson’s ministry created to remind us of who we are in Christ.

Renee,
I am so looking forward to getting this book. Want to print your verses.
I am significant . . verses hit me today.
Hugs and Prayers
Renee, thank you for this encouragement. I’ve been doing The 7 Day Doubt Diet with a couple of friends and this is something I need to hear over and over again. God is so good!!
Renee, thank you for this encouragement today! I have been allowing the devil to whisper in my ear and cause me to compare myself to other women around me as well as doubt myself! I have been doubting if God can or wants to use me! Thank you for sharing these scriptures…I am putting them in my prayer journal tonight so I can refer back to them regularly!
We discussed the 7 day diet tonight in my small group.
We can not wait for the book. This book is so needed .
Thanks for your devotions! I have struggled with doubt for years and have decided to become obedient even when my feeling don’t match what I know I need to do. I love the scripture that you can copy and paste your name into – it is so uplifting and has been very helpful!
What’s on my heart? Processing everything I learned this weekend at She Speaks, and knowing where God wants to take my church’s women’s ministry.
Thanks Renee, I’ve really enjoyed the 7 Day Doubt Diet and am looking forward to reading your book! It’s opened my eyes to areas of doubt I didn’t realize were doubt.
Blessings!
Romans 8:31–39 I am free from condemnation. I cannot be separated from God’s love.
Your entire deco today blessed me, but if I had to pick only one verse listed, the above sums up what I needed to hear today. God won’t give up on me no matter how many times I get side tracked or mess up. I’m so grateful for that!
I loved your talk at She Speaks and would be blessed by your new book!
Thank you for this opportunity!
Sonya
Thank you for offering your vulnerability and opening up about your journey with God so as to give His insight, encouragement and strengthening through His promises as you have walked with and responded to Him in your life as a woman belonging to and loved by Him.
I am accepted: Ephesians 1:8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as his child.
This grabbed my heart because I am still struggling with understanding what it means to have Him as a father. What the image of a father was meant to be. As well as that my heavenly father him self has burdened my heart for vulnerable children specifically in parts of East Africa where I have been involved over the last 3 years. I am excited to continue to receive this promise so as to more deeply live this promise for those children as well…being His hands and feet.
I am secure: 2 Timothy 1:7 I have been given a spirit of power and love and a sound mind—I have the RIGHT to think with the mind of Christ. How quickly this seems to slip out of perspective. It was actually a promise given to me more than once recently. During my time in the 7 day doubt diet I heard it as I was going through one of the devotions and coupled it with a video clip from Beth Moore. Then again today as I went through this devotion….I have claimed if over and over aloud in the last several days. It is something I hold so tightly to right now. Because why should I slip to self doubt and insecurity so quickly when I have been given this gift and at such a price? It is mine and I’m going to walk in it.
Lastly, 2Cor 1:21-22 I have been established, anointed, and sealed by God
Whhowey! Now if that’s not the affirmation I need to move forward taking steps each day in the direction God has called me to be— as the woman He has purposed me to be. From the daily tedious things to the very things He quickens my heart with…glimpses of the adventure he has called me into with my son and my husband….What is it Lord that you will unfold for me…because you just said it clear as day,,,I have been established, anointed, and sealed by YOU!!! That gets my blood pumping! Now to hold onto that consistently.
Thanks again for sharing what He’s doing, has done, and will continue to do…to encourage and strengthen his ladies!
What’s really shouting at me here is that you have to speak these promises over your life. You have to truly believe that you are a child of God and everything he has belongs to you. If you say something over and over you start to believe it and act on it, so why not speak the positive. It can go both ways as well; if your constantly speaking negative things about yourself your gonna start believing that as well. Renee, I just thank you for this book, “A Confident Heart”, it’s come at just the right time.
I so needed to read your thoughts today. I have been in pain worrying about my son and the life he is living. I have gone through the entire back story in my head today and all last night-what a bad parent I have been, I should have been better and helped him with his inner demons, I should have done *something* to help him. I have them all memorized and they lead nowhere. A whirlpool of pain to keep me helpless. I read your words today and realized I am not the one to help him. I need to have faith and *let go and let God*. I have faith that the only true healing will come from Heaven as I don’t have the ability. My son is a child of God and only through Jesus can he get rid of the darkness. Satan has been a companion in my head for too long telling me how I have failed both my son and my God. I know better know. Thank you. I will begin again.
I definitely need to hear that I’m Accepted. I need to let that roll around in my brain for a while. Thank you.
Renee,
THANK -YOU FOR TODAY’S WORD AS I WAS REMINDED OF GOD’S PROMISES TO ME!!! I have really been struggling with what purpose I am here to serve…..Lies from Satan. I have been bought with a price and I am His and God has a purpose for me even when I cant see or feel it…. I need to come to the cross and fill my mind with His word and promises… so as to defeat the lies my mind is wanting to believe ….. I am so thank full I came across your site from a friend that had posted it on FB.
I know there are no coincidences when it comes to God. He has a plan and He will bring it about as I seek Him I will find HIm when I seek Him with my whole heart!!!!
Thank you for your message today!

HI Renee~
Thank you, Renee for writing this book. I know it is not available yet for purchase until August 1st, but our mutual friend, Glynnis Whitwer, loaned me her copy to read. I have been struggling for months recently, but if I am honest with myself it has been since I was a child with self-doubt and not measuring up to others expectations for me especially my parents. Here I am 37 years old and after a few attempts to end my life, I am still here for God must have a plan for me. The timing of me reading your book was perfect, of course. I have been struggling and it has not been pretty. Some days are better than others. Your book however, has given me encouragement and new found hope. There are times even though I have great friends that would do anything for me, I feel alone and in the dark. I have printed out the Promises to Personalize Page with my name inserted to keep in my bathroom and in my car and at work. Your book has been a blessing to me! Once I am able to buy a copy I am returning Glynnis’ copy to her. If I don’t win your drawing, I would however, like to purchase the “Confident Heart” sticky notes. I need them:)
Your book has also encouraged me to lead a small group again and have your book as the focus! I can’t thank you enough!!!! I have hope…….which I desperately needed. THANK YOU!!!!! 🙂
Ephesians 1:3-8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child. I have always wanted to be accepted but never felt that I truly fit in anywhere… especially with my family. At my age, I still find it hard to believe that God would choose me. I am working on it, but am not quite there yet…….
Dear Renee,
I am getting so much out of your messages, and I have heard those lies and thought they were my own thoughts. The verse that spoke the most to me, and the one I’ve been holding onto recently is: Philippians 1:6 “I am confident God will complete the good work He started in me.” Sometimes I get discouraged because I’m not where I thought I would be right now, (My 20th high school reunion is this weekend.) but I believe God is still working things out. His timing is definitely not my timing, but I will let God be God in my life and put my trust in Him.
Blessings,
I needed to read Ephesians 3:12. I can approach God in confidence. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for me, so that I can approach the father with full confidence that he will hear my plea. Boy, Satan likes to turn this one inside out…..The Seven Day Doubt Diet is such an inspiration, I look forward to reading the entire book! I can’t wait for the challenges that are in store! Thank you for your ministry!
Renee, I would love to win a copy of your book and the Starbucks card!! I want to thank you for your post and for the comprehensive list of verses that we can easily access at times when we need them the most. When a person needs those reminders the most is when I find it’s harder to actually take the time to look up verses that will make you feel better (although I do find that God does work for us by having us find what we need when we just open up the Bible–the page often magically appears…) Anyway, I am copying this list and printing it out to put in my binder to keep handy for just those times when I need more confidence in myself. Thank you so much!!
I needed to hear Philippians 4:13 most of all today. “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.” So much going on in my family as I try to help take care of my aging and sick parents. I gladly do all I can, I just need prayers to help guide me.
Thanks for the encouraging words! I wonder why it seems so easy for women to fall into the trap of Satan’s lies? I too struggle with self-doubt and unrealistic expectations…Can’t wait to read your book!
I can’t wait to get a copy of your book! God has really laid this issue on my heart of being confident in myself because I am His creation. I am even considering leading a small group using this book. I think all too many Christian women fall prey to Satan’s lies. It is time we are all set free, in Jesus name! Thanks Renee, for sharing your story.
I’m very excited to read your book! Thank you for the giveaway! : )
God bless you, Renee.
Renee,
Thank you for being confident enough to share your story! A friend emailed me your website and I have read the intro and chapter 1. I also signed up for the 7 day doubt diet. God has used your story tremendously in life right now! It was right on time! And I even shared your website with a friend! Thank you again!!!
With a growing confidence,
KD
Thanks so much for sharing! Your devotions have been so encouraging and so right on time! I am so guilty of hearing those “lies” that i’m not good enough and i don’t measure up to what God wants of me. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine and I teach a young adult class on Wed. night at our church and as we were discussing this week what we were gonna be studying, I told her that i would pray about it and let her know what he laid on my heart. Well i was talking to her and told her that i had something in mind and she at the same time told me that she had something. So, i told her that we could do what she had, and, of course, she told me “No” and that we could do what i had. Well, i told you all that to say that when she told me that i could just teach tonight and do my lesson, i told her that her’s was probably better than mine anyway and that mine probably wouldn’t make much sense. Well, now that i read your blog this afternoon, i know that it was just “me” and “satan” telling my those lies. So i am gonna go tonight with confidence on what God has laid on my heart!
Thanks so much for this today! I am really wanting and looking forward to your book!
Love in Christ,
Becca
I added your blog to my reader. You inspire me and I am looking forward to reading your book Renee.
I so love this list of verses, I need them all and don’t have a favorite!
My husband and I seem to be going through this lesson at the same time. Since he lost his job in 2007, we have been taking turns at being full of doubt while the other encourages. The truth is, I have struggled with this my whole life. I signed up for the 7 day Doubt Diet today and it has been such an encouragement. It wasn’t long ago I was wondering what the problem was. God seems to be revealing it to me now. Thank you!
Ephesians 1:3–8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child.
I grew up fatherless, raised by a single mom. My dad abandoned my mom, sister and I when I was six. 34 years ago. And I still have deep-hidden issues because of it. I’m not bitter or angry, just hurt that my dad didn’t want us.
I am a new believer – only two-years-old, so the concept of a Father who loves me more than I can imagine and One who wants me and will never leave me, is foreign to me.
I know the Enemy uses my insecurities to have me question and doubt the unfailing love of my Father. I will keep this promise from Eph 1:3-8 close to my heart to remind me that I am a child of our magnificent God, and a princess of The King.
Thank you, Renee for your loving and encouraging words.
Love your blog and P31 devotion. I needed to be reminded of many of the scriptures you quoted. It is difficulty as I help my daughter pack for her last year in college. This year is different because she is renting an apartment with a friend and she does not know if she will come back home or stay there after graduation. She is seeking God’s guidance and I am doing by best to give it to God and trust that He will give me strength to let go and trust Him. He will take care of her and she will follow His lead.
Thank you so much for this post! I love your writing and I can’t wait to get my book! I really needed this today. I’m not feeling very accepted today and I seem to forget that even if I don’t have any friends on earth He is my friend and I can always count on Him. Thank you for reminding me!
Dear Renee,
I praise the Lord for women of faith, like yourself. I have struggled with insecurities off and on for most of my adult life. It negatively affects every area of my life and I struggle keeping joy in my heart. I am a part of a small group of ladies who support each other and are presently doing Made to Crave. We are discussing doing your new book The Confident Heart for our next session I want so desparately to gain victory, I hate how satan causes me to doubt who I am in Jesus. I am so sure that God has a plan to prosper each of us, but sometimes I have a hard time believing it for myself. I sometimes feel that my faith is always in a test, which I don’t always pass and I feel so bad about.
I really enjoy and am so blessed to get your devotionals and am so looking forward to reading your new book. I’m praying that God will do amazing things through it, and that He will set me free.
I love all these scriptures you have listed, I guess the one that I cling to the most is Romans 8:28 that says I’m assured that God works for my good in all circumstances. If I could just believe it all the time, God could do amazing things through me.
God Bless you Renee and all your ministry
Patti
I really needed to hear – again – “I am significant”. Those verses are so helpful to me as I truly contemplate them. I have recently realized that low self-esteem is Satan’s way to prevent us what God intends for us to do and accomplish. So, this is something that I am working on – overcoming the fears associated with low self-esteem. I find your writings helpful as I accomplish this goal.
I am “free from condemnation” sister!!!!!!!!! Loving life:)
Thank you so much for your devotions! Your Doubt Diet has certainly been speaking to my heart as I have been seeking employment yet hearing nothing positive back. It’s easy for those enemy whispers of “You’re not good enough”, “Nobody wants you”, etc to creep in and discourage, but your words have helped to remind me that our God is faithful and has created me for a purpose – one which He will fulfill in His time. I look forward to opening my email each morning, knowing that even if there is no response from potential employers, a message from Him through your devotions awaits me! May God continue to bless you and your ministry!
In response, God asked who told them they were naked. In other words, “Who told you that something is wrong with you?” By asking this, God made sure they knew someone was casting shame on them—and it wasn’t Him. Wow! this really touched me. I have not really paid attention on who is telling me all these false negative thoughts. Thanks so much for your insight.
When God speaks we need to listen!! I have been an insecure girl, teenager and now as an adult woman. It has been a constant struggle for me throughout my life in all areas. Now as an adult, as a mother, a daughter, wife, Youth Director i even question if i have what it takes to carry out what God wants me to do. when will i start believing in myself. I recently had a major car accident and am still recovering therefore, adding more limitations to me besides the emotional limitations i had before. This devotional reminds me that God doesn’t make trash, he creates us in his special, perfect way. wrong choices are our faults not his, so i need to stop blaming him. i want to focus on the solution to the problem not the problem. I want to be able to go through trials and tribulations with a “smile” because God is with me, I only take it one day at a time, too many times i feel so overwhelmed. help me to look up to God and not look down on myself. God Bless the wonderful work you are doing reaching out to all of us and lifting us up.
I struggle with listening to the Satan. I have to constantly remind myself of who I am. I also struggle a little with comparing myself to others. I have improved in both of these areas but it’s a daily process of reminding myself of where these thoughts are coming from. Thank you for the reminder. It is truly God sent.
I have pre-ordered your book and can’t wait to read it! Thank you so much for your message.
He reminds me often “Who is saying these things” … just like the other day I saw a GOOD looking guy and didn’t even want to make eye contact with him because I felt he was “out of my league” and God said to me “Who told you that you can’t have someone like him?”
Dear Renee,
Thank you so much for your blog today. When I woke up, I took some time to get quiet with God but I still had some doubts that the devil was trying to use to change my thought process. I was introduced to 2 Timothy 1:7 through the Hidden Joy bible study:: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline”. I repeated this several times and I began to feel more secure and peaceful. Thank you so much for reminding me again that we all have to struggle daily with the devil’s deceptions. I’m really looking forward to your bible study and will definitely share this blog with my sister and my mother as well. Take care!
Kristi
I am signifacant-that is the one thing I struggle with on a consistant bases.I often think if I weren’t around-it would make no differance-no one would miss me.I need to remind myself of who I am in Christ-and that I matter to Him….
Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. I have begun a weight-loss journey, which may very well be a fight for my life. I need to remind myself that I can do this through Christ.
Many of us have voices YELLING in our ears that we are of no value, not good enough, not smart enough, not skinny enough, not pretty enough, not doing enough . . . from BIG people in our lives.
Enough already!
God is bigger. I am who He says I am: ACCEPTED.
Why is it so hard for us, as women to accept those wonderful truths?? God loves us and wants the very best – I think we just have trouble seeing it for what it is. Great reminder!
Hi Renee. Your devotionals offer hope & inspiration to all of the readers. Thanks for al that you do.
I would like to share ” MY STORY OF HEALING”
God healed me , now I give back by sharing “ MY JOURNEY”, speaking at local health fairs, writing my health blog, visiting cardiac patients & their families: Mended Hearts, providing community resources etc.. I encourage my family friends to place God first, trust him 100% & surround yourself with POSITIVE people: Nothing is too big for God.

MY JOURNEY
I was born with an abnormal heart valve. We were told a couple of years ago that I would need a replacement. Two weeks before my (first) surgery February 12, 2009, I experienced shortness of breath, I knew something didn’t feel right. I made an appointment with the doctor, a test was ordered, surgery date was scheduled, I contacted my family & friends and begin to pray & focus on what was getting ready to take place in my life. Blockage occurred after the first surgery, then I received a pace maker (second surgery), February 16th, 2009. Recently (June 23rd, 2010), after a regular check-up (pace maker reading) at the doctor’s office, my third surgery ( pace maker revision) took place the following day.
Before the procedure on Feb 12th, I contacted my family members, Pastor & Church Family, employer, co-workers, friends, neighbors, etc. My (strong) support system provided prayers, phone calls, flowers, books, beautiful cards, hospital visits, home visits, meals etc. It was important to provide support for my husband & children. We discussed the surgical procedure with our children. It was necessary to continue providing a secure & stable environment. The door is always open anytime for the kids to come to us with any questions or concerns. The valve replacement surgery was successful, then I developed blockage. The doctors notified my husband that I would need a pace maker to help my heart function. It was unplanned but necessary. The second procedure took place four days after the first procedure. We prayed with the Chaplain before the heart valve procedure. I also received visits from the Chaplains (by my request); throughout the time I was hospitalized: a total of eleven days. June 23rd, 2010, I returned to the hospital: outpatient surgery: pace maker revision.
My Faith in God, support from my husband, family, Pastor & Church Family, medical staff, friends, neighbors, Radical Love Family, co-workers, employer, etc… continues to play a major role in the healing process. I know that God loves me & promised never to leave me alone. He helped me get through this time of testing. Jeremiah 30:17: “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord, because they called thee an Outcast saying, “This is Zion, who no man seeketh after.””
Acceptance is crucial during the recovery stage. Not living in denial, but accepting the daily challenges: occurring inside my body, coping with breathing issues on a daily basis, living with a pace maker, taking coumadin for the rest of my life, dealing with the discomfort in my chest. etc…….Where does my help come from? Believing & trusting God with my life. I know without a doubt that he is a healer. God is also loyal & faithful. Psalm 107: 1 “O Give Thanks unto the Lord for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” My relationship with my husband is even stronger. We were married in 1993 and promised to love each other unconditionally. He continues to provide emotional, physical, mental & spiritual support. While I was recovering he helped the kids with their homework, made daily trips to the grocery store, irons the kid’s clothes, worked hard every day and spent quality time with me. I thank God for my soul mate.
When I returned home from the hospital, my son (age 10), quietly walked in my bedroom and prayed by my side every night. It was very important for him to thank God for healing his mother. When my daughter, (age 7), saw the scar on my chest (incision from heart surgery), it made her very uncomfortable. She thought I was in pain. I spoke to the school counselor about the issue. My daughter touched the scar & saw that I wasn’t in pain. I’m happy to say, my daughter is now comfortable with the scar. After my surgery, our children asked about the limitations, when I would be able to drive again, how did I feel overall etc. We continue to keep the lines of communication open in our home. It’s very important for our children to express their feelings. I continue to pray for my husband & children. We are determined to face any obstacles “together” with God’s guidance.
Through FAITH, FAMILY, & FRIENDS, I’m able to face each day & know within my heart that God continues to bless me & my family. Everyday is a GIFT from God.

I am secure. I am secure. I am secure. And, if I have to carry my pink Bible around with sticky notes in it to remind me, then so be it.
“I am secure” hit home for me today. But I actually wrote down all of the scripture references you listed for each category. These are great verses to remember and turn to when I’m feeling down.
Thank you so much. I know I need to read the book, my insecurities are unmeasureable at times. I hope to win a copy of your book!!!!! Thanks for your wonderful devotions….
I’ve been so blessed by your devotional from the book “A Confident Heart”. As soon as I can purchase your book, I’m getting it. I so want to walk, talk and live confidently in the Lord. Learning to measure up to the Lord and not others……….I’m tired of walking in my fears and insecurities. God’s been bringing things to surface in my life and your devotionals have been SO encouraging, hitting everything straight on. God bless!
