The Confident Woman Devotional 365 Daily Inspirations - image 2

For most of the worlds existence, women have not enjoyed proper respect, nor have they enjoyed their rightful place in society. Although much of that injustice has been corrected in recent time, there are still many cultures in the world where women are terribly mistreated. This is tragic.

Women are a precious gift from God to the world. They are creative, sensitive, compassionate, intelligent, talented, and, according to the Bible, equal to men.

Due to years of abuse and a wrong worldview toward women, many of us have lost the confidence God wants us to enjoy. Many of us have been left with vague feelings that we are somehow less than men. Less valuable. Less worthy. The end result is a society filled with insecure people, which causes great difficulty in personal relationships and is one of the reasons divorce is so prevalent today.

During my childhood, I endured many years of sexual abuse, which profoundly affected my confidence and the image I carried inside of myself. Inwardly I was very fearful, but outwardly I presented myself as a tough, bold person who couldnt care less what others thought of her. I created a pretend me so no one could discover the real me. I was filled with shame and condemnation over something a man had done to me, and for many years I held a rather low opinion of men as a result.

Today, however, I believe I am a well-balanced woman. I have a wonderful husband and four grown children. I am the president and founder of a worldwide media ministry that is helping millions of people find salvation through Jesus Christ, as well as freedom and wholeness in their lives. My husband, children, and I all work together in the ministry.

I have learned a lot on my journey about what true confidence is and about overcoming my need to please everyone, and it is my desire that the readings of this devotional will help you become the woman God intends you to be. His desire is that you be bold, courageous, confident, respected, admired, promoted, sought after, and, most of all, loved.

God has a wonderful plan for your life, and I pray that reading these devotions will help you enter it more fully than ever before. You can hold your head up high and be filled with confidence about yourself and your future. You can be bold and step out to do new thingseven things no man or woman has ever done before. You have what it takes!

In the fourth watch between 300600 am of the night Jesus came to them - photo 3

In the fourth watch [between 3:006:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright. But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!

MATTHEW 14:2527

A s was true of the twelve disciples, you are full of capabilities, gifts, and talent. Gods enablement of His grace and presence is with you. So what are you doing with your life? Are you like the eleven disciples who stayed in the boat, or are you like Peter, who when Jesus was passing by said, Lord, I want to walk on the water with You! Do you have a vision for your life and want to do something greater than what youre doing? Are you going to just sit in the boat and shake and quake and watch the rest of the world go by, or will you be one of those rare individuals who jumps out of the boat and refuses to live afraid?

Its up to you what youre going to do with your life. Fear is always going to come against you. But listen to Jesus words: Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid! Its time to step out and do the thing you desire to do.

The Confident Woman Devotional 365 Daily Inspirations - image 4

Lord, I praise You that You come to me and extend Your presence and Your helping hand. As was true of Peter, I want to be a water walker. Amen.

And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.

MATTHEW 14:28

W hen I tell you to join Peter and get out of the boat, you may wonder what your boat is. Your boat may be a lot of different things. What is your place of comfort, safety, and ease? It could be a place of misery, but yet, somehow or other, youve gotten comfortable in your own miseryso comfortable that you wouldnt do anything about it even if you could. You may have gotten addicted to dysfunction. The sad thing is that most people yield to the fear and remain stuck in life.

Maybe your boat consists of people whose approval you crave, who rule all of your decisions and who bind your life to their lives. If they approve of it, you do it, and if they dont like it, you dont. You may be so addicted to getting your approval from other people that you let everyone else run your life, and youre too afraid to confront them and stand up to them. Are you going to sit in your miserable little boat for the rest of your life and be unhappy? Or are you ready to say, Ive had enough of this! Id rather get out of here and take my chances than stay here longer.

The Confident Woman Devotional 365 Daily Inspirations - image 5

Lord, I need to see You and hear Your voice over and above the storms in my life. Help me to break free of anything that is holding me back from doing Your will. Amen.

[Jesus] said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.

MATTHEW 14:29

P erhaps the boat you need to get out of is your past. Sometimes we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. Youre not going to enjoy your future, and youre not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past. What is it that youre afraid somebody will find out that will cause them to turn against you?

Anything you have to keep hidden has power over you. You are not going to ever be free if you just keep running away from your past. You have to confront and deal with it. No one is going to come along and do it for you. Jesus is calling you out of the boat. God has given you His power, and His Spirit is dwelling in you, so you can do things that are hard to do. You can do anything you need to do. He isnt going to get into your boat and make you feel better. Get it out of your system. Get out of the boat of your past.

The Confident Woman Devotional 365 Daily Inspirations - image 6

Lord, I will not stay stuck in my past. By Your grace, the past has been forgiven, and I have a new life in You. If theres something in my past that needs to be dealt with, show me how to do it in the right way. Amen.

But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!

MATTHEW 14:30

T he boat of my past that I needed to step out of was the childhood sexual abuse I suffered. I felt as though my dad stole my childhood, and I was so mistreated. I was bitter about the people who should have helped me and didnt, and then there were the could haves and would haves and wish I had. In my thirties, I was still taking it out on everybody who had anything to do with it. I didnt trust men and had a chip on my shoulder. I was miserable, but I sat in the boat.
