“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace…” Hebrews 4:16
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.” 1 John 5:14
Boldness. Confidence. Two words that I wouldn’t typically describe myself as, but two words I’ve recently been convicted of.
At the time I’m writing this little devo, I find myself in a really hard, confusing season of life. I’ve prayed for and about certain things, God opened those doors, I entered those rooms. Fast forward a couple of months. Now, I find myself in empty rooms, filled with tears and utter confusion. Even now, with the prayers I’ve prayed, I still find no answers. However, God has been challenging me where being bold and having confidence is concerned. I’ve been prompted with the question: do you have bold, confident faith for Me to give you what you’ve asked for?
Although I have yet to receive a word in regards to my season, I believe I have one to share with you today, if you choose to accept it.
What are you so scared of losing that you’re not being bold enough to ask for it and expectantly wait to receive it?
This question holds a mouthful of answers for me, what about you? You see, the verses above tell us to do the opposite of what we’re doing right now. We’re to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence. We get to have this confidence because we know that whatever we ask according to God’s will, He will hear us. We can boldly say that it’s possible with God.
Why can we have such boldness and confidence? Because we are told, by Jesus Himself, that “whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24). And even if we don’t get what we asked for, we can believe that we will receive something better than we could ever imagine.
Today, I challenge you to pray for a spirit of boldness and confidence. Pray that thing you’re afraid of losing with bold faith to believe you’ve received it. If it’s in God’s will for your life, it’s possible. Confidently approach Him, boldly believe you received it and put your faith into action by praying for it.

Chloee Jean is a co-founder of We His Kingdom, a Podcaster, a Digital Creator, Worship Leader, Social Media Manager, and a firm believer in Christ. She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
