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

Joining you on the journey, Sweet Renee.
Thank you. I’ve been struggling with the heartless words of my non-believing ex-husband again. Usually, it doesn’t bring self doubt, but he’s working on my happiness again as I try to keep moving upward and forward with my life. I know reading your invite was God’s hug.
Thank you for your faithfulness, your timing is perfect!!! God Bless.
I´m in!
Thank you for the invitation. I am so excited to join you and this network of women on this path! May we be reminded and assured that we are the beloved of the God of the universe. We are worthy and lavishly loved and have been chosen for such a time as this.
God’s timing is perfect. Got your email when I was at my lowest. I know God loves me but I am struggling right now to lift up my voice in praise and prayer
Keep lifting up praise even though you don’t feel it! Keep praying! I know it’s hard, but it does matter! I’ll be praying for you!
Lift up your voice Sheila……it is when we pray and praise, in spite of, that God moves miraculously!! I’ve been there….
Thank you so much for walking it out the beauty of the Lord is undeniable with what you share , thank you for being obidient to the Holy Spirit and sent out the email to everyone it met me in just that a battle with myself doubting that i can make a difference cause of the hurt that is being done because of others selfishness or just cause they can hurt you cause they mistake your kindness for weakness, knowing that the Lord will provide lets me keep going ,but on the fleshly side that wants to rise cause of hurt and being taken advantage of being judged and doubted lied on or to …. it is as i am split being like Thomas a twin that is pulled in 2 directions knowing that there is only one way and really believing in that (only) way and the Saviour, i know this sounds oximoron it feels that way from time to time ….thats when i read your mail knowing this is God letting me know that i am not alone and that i am not wrong lost or loosing it that he is seeing and caring about every tear that is shared in His presence ….. I am going to be what God destined me to be with His help HIs Guidance His Love
God sends us exactly what when and how we need it .how we can receive it or what state or stage we are from level to level we get more more in tune woth him ….thank you Lord for being the one and only way there is to live learn and love … God is Love
Thank you Renee i am truly looking forward to go Rock steady :0)
Thank you so much for another 7DD. The first one plus your Confident Heart book really spoke to me!! I’m really looking forward to this next 7 days!! 🙂 God Bless!!
I have to be honest, this is my 2nd go at this. And right now I feel that satan is just winning in our house and I am losing hope that I can turn my heart and truly believe God is out there batteling for us. Thank you for saying a do-over is ok.
Thank you for all this & praise God for letting you be such an amazing vessel & helping us all!!
I need this desperately. I’ve been struggling not only with self doubt but with trusting that God’s plan for me is as beautiful as he says and that I will experience it. Please pray for me. I never want to live my life without Jesus again, but I’m struggling to hold on.
I lost my husband of 16 years 5months ago to a two year fight with cancer. I am now trying to find myself and get my 5 year old son and I reaquainted with our family confidence. I was just about in tears when I read this email because I am so in need of the confidence that only Christ can give. Thank you for sharing this with us again. God bless!!
Thank you Renee for this opportunity yet again. I’m in. Blessings and peace.
I want to be courageous for God!
Thanks Renee i will be joining you on this 7DD. I’ve been praying for you dear sister with all you;ve been going through. Do you ever have times when you wonder if you’re really saved? I know i am saved but, then i start to wonder am i really? I’ve been struggling a lot lately so this will be good for me. You are always a blessing to my heart and an encouragement. Do i have to have a book? If i have to have a book i can’t do it.
Hello Renee,
I have felt self doubt since 9th grade! I think God sent you and this email just for me because I have struggled so much lately with my past. Thank you for asking me to be apart of this!
Thanks so much for the invitation…looking forward with great expectation for what the Lord has in store. Blessings,
Hi Renee. Thank you so much, i just love God’s timing, and I believe God wants me to get rid of doubts and heaviness once and for all in my life, so I’m looking forward to joining you again on the 7DD. God bless.
Hi Renee – joining you again, as I have been attacked BIG TIME by doubt and insecurity. Thank you for your heart for us women. 🙂
Thank you for your ministry…I look at my job as a school nurse as a ministry too but tonight i just feel sick and tired myself…physically, emotionally, spiritually…so your message was like a little miracle…I have been praying for my dad’s soul for 50 years, my husband’s for 35 years, and for my mom’s since I realized that just because she was going to church every sunday, it didn’t mean that she had put her trust in Christ…but no prayers of salvation from any of them…can’t help but feel like I’m doing something wrong…looking forward to your messages…
