It’s late Wednesday night and you’re on my heart. I’m wondering how you’re doing, and if maybe you are feeling weighed down by self-doubt. God nudged me to pull away from what I was doing (working on preparation for a retreat this weekend) to write a note from my heart. It was totally unplanned, but I wanted to ask if the heaviness of discouragement or a lack of confidence is burdening you ?
If so, I want to invite you to join me on The 7-day Doubt Diet – as we work together to lose the weight of self-doubt – maybe for the first time or maybe a second time for some of you. This is spontaneous too, but I’m really excited about it.
Starting next week, I’ve decided to offer the 7-day Doubt Diet devotions on my website and weave in short stories from my current life circumstances to let you see that I’m on a journey, too. Replacing our lack of self-confidence with lasting God-fidence is a process for each of us, a daily turning towards truth in each and every circumstance that cause us to doubt ourselves or God’s promises in the midst of the unexpected.
And this time, I want us to do the 7-day Doubt Diet – TOGETHER!!
To join me and other women God calls to walk with us, all you need to do is sign up for “Email Updates” so you can receive them each day in your inbox for convenience. There is a small little brown box at the top of my website with a white x in the top right corner. Please sign up there for “email updates” before Sunday – so you will receive the first day’s assignment with everyone else on Sunday. (If you are already signed up, you’ll automatically receive these next week.)
I’m looking forward to really connecting our hearts and praying for each other through this time. If you’re going to join me and sign up, I’d love for you to leave a comment by clicking on “share your thoughts” just below this post. (optional) But, I’d love to know your in, read your name and see your face if you have profile with a headshot (no big deal if you don’t), but this way we can start praying for each other.
Blessings, prayers and big ‘ole hugs,
Renee

The lord really put you on my heart tonight. I just got back in from picking my son up from my absive husband.I am in process of leaving him and he is so vebally absive and controling. Please pray because I am having so much doubt if I can win because my husband has all the finase in his name.
Marie,
Hang in there and keep praying and I will too. God is good and he is always on time. We will give him praise.
Renee,
God is blessing you with many talents that, in turn, I am so blessed to reap the benefits of!!! Thank you for the email tonight. I was just praying that God would send an answer to some problems I’ve been dealing with. You are the answer!!!! So thank you, God too! Looking forward to working through the 7DD with you. I so need this right now. I’m having lots of self-doubt that only God can show me the way. May He bless your efforts.
Thanks again,
Sherry
Hi Renee,
I want to join you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers, sweet friend. So looking forward to walking through the DD with you and the rest of the girls here.
Blessings,

Hi Renee!
I hope you are doing well! I love your work and I have signed up for your doubt diet in the past (and signed up a few of my girl friends as well) and I loved it! I am looking forward to doing the doubt diet again, with the personal twist. Please keep me in your prayers as I keep you in mine.
Love and Blessings,
Xenia Wright
My struggle right now is in knowing how to handle my 13-year-old daughter’s feelings of insecurity. I got your email after listening to her share her frustrations over feeling like everyone thinks she’s “weird” while tucking her into bed tonight. So thank you for your timely note and we look forward to joining you to hear what God has to share.
Hi Renee!
I missed the first time around of the DD. I want to commit to it this time and really put my heart and soul into it and pray for the others doing it as well. I need to NOT doubt in so many areas! I sooo appreciate your willingness to do this again and to do it with us! THANK YOU RENEE! You are in my prayers!

Looking forward to going through this again with others. Satan attacks and leads me right down the self doubt road. Defeating! Didn’t see a place to put pic.
Thanks for the invite Renee. I am looking forward to the new journey!!
No such thing as coincidence, right? 😉
Renee, I believe God has put certain people at different times in my life to lead me, guide me, protect me, heal me. I believe you are one of these persons. Thank you for caring.
Thanks so much Renee! God Bless you as much as you are a blessing to me which is HUGE!
This comes at a perfect Time!! Looking forward to this.
Excited to begin this journey…
Would love to join you , thanks for asking. Your book is GREAT.
You can’t believe how timely this is! I will be presenting a workshop at the RefresHER conference next Saturday and yes, in the grand scheme of things that can be done, this isn’t that huge, in my faith walk (as well as ministry) it is a pretty giant step. To have a whole week on focusing on my confidence in Christ right before will be great! I truly believe that God will not allow me to mess up his message, but that doesn’t mean I won’t spend next week nervous as all get-out! On top of that, life just has a way of making you feel less than confident on a daily basis.
Looking forward to this, and seeing you a week from Saturday!

Your email really spoke to me tonight. I am struggling with some doubt as I get ready to welcome our second baby girl. Our first is just 14 months! You provide much encouragement and comfort in my life. Thank you!
We have children that are 14 months apart. They are now 18 and 19 years old. It’s hard at first, but it gets easier and they are the best of friends:)
Thank you for the encouragement!
Renee! I think God told you to do this just for me 🙂 I came home from She Speaks so fired up and confident of what God had called me to do. And now I am completely doubting my abilities to do it. Looking forward to walking through this with you and the other ladies.
Renee, thank you for the opportunity to work through this 7DD with you and others. I am really looking forward to seeing what God is going to do.
Email arrived with perfect timing.
I second that.
Renee, I will be joining u once again in this up close & personal series of 7DD !! 😀 .. Can’t wait!
God is using you in my life. He and Satan are battling right now and while I know He has won the ultimate fight I’m still struggling. Thank you for your invitation.
Oh this is good! I too have been battling with this whole weight issue for most of my life. I am 64 years old and need to lose about 60-65 pounds. I have been a Christian for 30 years and have done all the diets, secular and Christian programs, and still can’t seem to get on board with anything to get healthy and lose the weight.
I pray all the time for healing and this morning I prayed (as i have many times before) that God would show me what to do to get going and stop this craziness that goes with being overweight and trying to lose. So, I am excited to join the 7day program and give it all I have. I thank you too for doing this Renee. I need help so badly and I know that God is the answer to everything. I will be praying for us that have taken the challenge that is before us. God you are so good! All the time!
Thanks again, Sheila from Colorado
THIS IS MY SECOND TIME AROUND TO ADD MUSCLE TO THE FIRST SESSION. CONFIDENCE IS PROVING TO BE A GREAT STRUGGLE AND SLOWER GROWTH THAN FOR MOST OF YOUR LADIES. I AM DETERMINED TO GET RID OF THIS LIE. I REALLY NEED HELP FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT AND I AM HOPING YOUR DIET AND CONTINUED PRAYERS WILL HELP ME TO FACE THE ENEMY WHO WANTS ME TO STAY SILENT AND IN MY COMFORT ZONE. YOU ARE TRULY INSPIRATIONAL IN YOUR DELIVERY. I ENJOYED YOUR TEACHING WHEN WE MEET ON THE 2009 CRUISE.
Oh my Renee it is sooooo absolutely sooooo good to know that I’m NOT the only woman that has such self doubt and who, like you throws my confidence in the Lord away sometimes on a daily basis. Praise God for this journey. Thank you dear sister I will be praying for you and all the other ladies taking this journey w/us. Love in Jesus Christy
