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 timing of this couldn’t be better. I am so looking forward to the freedom the is rightfully mine. The battle has been long and this week was getting very dark and lonely. Thank you so much for caring and being so sensitive to what God is leading you to do for us all through prayer and the 7 day doubt diet. Looking forward to the load being lifted and running with joy…blessings Patricia
I am looking forward to this study, I’m weary of struggling through life. I have lived through and in very difficult circumstances for many years now and there have been moments recently where I was afraid I might go under. Thankfully God is with me but I don’t want to just get through it anymore I want to rise above it all!
Thank you for this invitation! I am doing the Confident Heart study with Melissa Taylor right now — love it. You have a way of saying just what my heart needs to hear in a way that I get it — I am feeling so encouraged and strengthened. And excited to do the 7-day doubt diet now, too, because I have a situation that is going to stretch me the next week or two especially. I will look forward to God’s words coming through you each day — thanks!
Hi Renee,
I am excited about this journey. Thanks for the invite.
I’m in! As a mother with two-year old and four-year old boys and a precious five-week old baby girl, I have days where I seriously doubt my ability to do this thing called life and rear my children for the Lord. BUT I don’t doubt Him! Your timing is God-directed. Thank you.
This has come just at the right time for me. Thank you Renee for daring to be spontaneous and real and open to Gods leading. Seems like they’re a lot of us out there who are struggling just now. Count me in.
God is so good! I just finished an on-line bible study and have EXACTLY one week before the next one starts. I’m in!
I’m looking forward to your emails. Your book has encouraged me and helped me to really choose to believe what God says about Himself and me in His Word. Thank you!
With you and in much need to this right now! Thanks for following God’s leading and walking us through our times of doubt 🙂
Looking forward to joining you on this journey, your devotions always speak to me. I hate doubts and am trying to over come them!
Joining you in prayer, Renee! God bless you! Your encouragement has been such a blessing to me during my recent divorce. Praying for a miracle…God can do anything!
You have no idea…I’m beaten down verbally by my dearest h. Thanks so much for your obedience to the Word of the Lord!
Greetings Renee,
I am so grateful that you have invited me to to the 7 day doubt diet… WOW! I am so blessed to have you as an encourager/ supporter/friend/ Thank you for the opportunity to get rid of doubt, fear, low self-esteem and discouragement once and for all!! I am definitely looking forward to the blessing and the word that God gives you to share with all of us..Thank you. Continue to be a Blessing
1 woman helping other women in a way that she that feels it knows how!-anticipating with bated breath!
Renee,
God is so amazing. He is never too late or too early, but always right on time. I have been reading your book and have been so blessed. Yet at times, I still find myself believing Satan’s lies that I am not good enough or that I don’t have anything valuable to give. Just yesterday, I was scheduled to give a speech at Toastmasters and Satan tried telling me that I was not good enough. Nevertheless, I applied God’s truth and delivered a profound speech. I was amaze myself. My husband reminded me that “Who better to tell your story better than you.” He was right. Please know that I “Praise God” for him given you a burden for me and some many other women to help us walk through the shadows of doubt to live with a confident heart. I am thrilled to be a part taker of this study/devotion with you and so many others:)
Renee, as i was reading this i really, really felt that you had just written it to me. like if we were in the room together conversing. Lately i am so full of self-doubt, feeling like i’m not good enough and noone believes in me and my abilities. Sadly i feel this way at work, church and home. I am a youth leader at my church for the past 12 years, i’ve been at my secular job as a grants officer for 11 years, i have 3 children age 21, 19, & 14 years old. (2 in college). my oldest daughter as well struggle with self-doubt. I need Godly reinforcement. Mean thoughts run through my mind because i feel inept. Please pray for us all.
Mean thoughts start running through my head from the minute I wake up in the morning – feeling dread and nauseous – and they keep me awake when I try to sleep at night. It’s not just ‘doubt’, I feel like I have overwhelming ‘evidence’ that I am a burden who has been drained of any value I once had.
Chronic illness, on disability/I can’t work, but my husband works 2 jobs, big-time medical bills make me expensive. It’s so hard be confident about anything.
Looking forward to joining you!
Renee I thank you for this oppurtunity. I too am in a BATTLE have been for awhile now and GOD knows I am tired, but I can not for some reason give up. I am claiming this to be my season. It is time for me to come up and come out and I thank you for sending me the email that you did to start this, I feel a praise report coming at the end of this, for me, for you, for many on here going thorugh. We were chosen and we will make it if we just hold on and believe.
Praise God!!!!!
I am for SURE in! It’s amazing how easliy doubt and being insecure find there way into my life. Thanks Renee for this invite and I know God will use this to help me! Blessings.
Isn’t His timing always perfect? I was struggling, once again, with doubt and fear about several weighty circumstances as I talked with God on my drive home from work. Opened up my mail when I got home and the message that was waiting for me on my screen was your invitation! Excited to join with others. I have struggled with my doubts and fears alone for long enough.
