We hear a lot about the “soft life”—a minimalist, gentle living movement promising peace and balance. But what if softness isn’t just about aesthetics or trends? What if softness, rest, and peace are deeply rooted in God’s heart for you?

The Soft Life, God’s Way: Embracing Peace, Grace, and Rest

What Is Soft Life, God’s Way?

At its core, soft life means surrender—not striving, but leaning, not pressure, but presence. It’s resting in God’s care, not in your performance.

Consider:

• Matthew 11:28–30—“Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden… I will give you rest.” Soft life begins by taking off the burdens and resting in Jesus’ gentle invitation. 

• Psalm 23:2–3—“He makes me lie down in green pastures… he refreshes my soul.” The God of the soft life leads you to rest, not pressure or performance. 

• Hebrews 4:9–10—There remains a Sabbath-rest for God’s people. Rest isn’t lazy—it’s prophetic: trusting God’s rhythm, not society’s hurry. 

What’s Missing from the Hustle Culture?

When your value becomes tied to doing, ticking boxes, and publishing curated lives, rest becomes a luxury—never a rhythm. You gain affirmation from likes, not peace. And that’s spiritually unsustainable.

How to Embrace God's Soft Life Daily

It starts small, sacred, and doable. Here’s a simple 3-step rhythm:

A. P. A. U. S. E. 

• Pray quietly each morning for 3 minutes.

• Acknowledge your limited control.

• Unload a burden to Him.

• Settle into His presence.

• End with a breath prayer: “Here I am, Lord.”

B. Reflect on One Gentle Truth
At night, journal this prompt: “Today, God taught me _______.” Let it be grace, not guilt.

C. Refresh with Scripture
Choose one restful verse to memorize for the week. E.g., “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 Put it on your mirror, phone, or coffee mug.

Spiritual Growth Through Softness

Soft life isn't shallow—it's a spiritual discipline. Peace is the fruit of resting under God’s care. When you pause, you recalibrate your spirit:

• You hear God's direction clearly.

• You respond with grace rather than react in stress.

• You align with a vision of living by soul care, not self-care alone.

How the Faith & Glow-Up Planner Supports This Journey

This isn’t another to-do journal—it’s a sanctuary:

• Healing & Heart Work: Release old burdens and embrace rest in God’s truth.

• Growth & Purpose: Align your pace with God’s plan, not societal pressures.

• Glow-Up in Christ: Step into who He created you to be—peaceful, soft, and strong.

• Gratitude Log: Shift from hustle to gratitude, every single day.

Soft life, God’s way, begins when you stop striving and start abiding.

If you’re longing for peace, presence, and authentic transformation, the Faith & Glow-Up Planner is the tool to keep that soul posture in your lifestyle.

Whether it’s the end of a relationship, the loss of a friendship, betrayal, or a season of deep disappointment, the pain can feel unbearable. You find yourself asking:
“Where was God in this?”
“Why me?”
“Will I ever feel whole again?”

The truth is—heartbreak isn’t just emotional. It’s spiritual. And as daughters of God, our healing must happen in both places.

If you’re reading this, I want you to know something: You can heal. You will heal. And your heart will glow again—in God’s timing.

Healing After Heartbreak: A Faith-Based Guide to Emotional and Spiritual Recovery

1️⃣ Step One: Bring Your Pain to God First

It’s tempting to run to friends, social media, or even distractions to numb the pain. But Psalm 34:18 says:

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

God doesn’t want your polished, perfect prayers. He wants the messy, teary, “God, I don’t understand” prayers too. Healing begins when you stop hiding your pain from Him.

Practical Exercise:

• Write a letter to God telling Him exactly how you feel. Don’t edit yourself. Let it be raw and honest.

• End the letter by thanking Him for hearing you and asking Him to begin the healing process in your heart.

2️⃣ Step Two: Release, Don’t Rehearse

Heartbreak often lingers because we replay the hurt in our minds like a looped movie. Every replay reopens the wound.

Philippians 4:8 tells us to think on what is true, noble, pure, and lovely. That means we must choose to stop rehearsing the pain and instead begin replacing it with God’s truth.

Practical Exercise:

• Identify the lies heartbreak has made you believe (e.g., “I’m not lovable,” “I’ll always be alone”).

• Write next to each lie a Scripture that tells the truth (e.g., Lie: “I’m not lovable.” Truth: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” – Psalm 139:14).

3️⃣ Step Three: Forgiveness is Freedom

This might be the hardest part—forgiving the one who hurt you and forgiving yourself. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what they did was okay. It means you’re refusing to let bitterness chain your soul.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:14 -15 that if we forgive others, our heavenly Father will forgive us. Forgiveness is as much for you as it is for them.

Practical Exercise:

• Pray this simple prayer daily: “Lord, I choose to forgive. Help me to feel it, not just say it.”

• Visualize yourself handing that person over to God’s care and walking away free.

4️⃣ Step Four: Heal Through Intentional Habits

Healing isn’t an event—it’s a process. Just like physical wounds, your emotional and spiritual wounds need daily care.

This is where intentional habits like gratitude journaling, daily prayer, and Scripture reflection make a huge difference. You’re rewiring your heart and mind to trust again, love again, and believe again.

This is exactly why I created the Becoming With God: A Habit-Forming Prayer Journal—a guided prayer journal designed to assist your healing by helping you to form/strengthen your godly habits, reconnect with God, and rediscover yourself.

It has daily habits/actions, biblical reflections, motivation, and affirmations so you can process the pain while building faith-based habits that restore your joy.

Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up or replaying the hurt, you’ll have a safe, sacred space to pour it all out and rebuild from the inside out.

5️⃣ Step Five: Surround Yourself with the Right Support

Healing is faster when you’re surrounded by people who speak life into you. This could be a prayer partner, a trusted mentor, or a faith-based community that reminds you of God’s promises when you forget.

Hebrews 10:24–25 says we should “encourage one another.” The right voices will keep you from sinking back into despair.

Practical Tip:
If you don’t have such a circle, join an online faith community, a local women’s Bible study, or start a small group with friends.

Heartbreak will change you—but with God, it can change you for the better. You’ll come out wiser, stronger, softer in heart but firmer in faith.

If you’re ready to process your pain in a way that leads to lasting peace, I’d love for you to start with the Becoming With God: A Habit-Forming Prayer Journal. It’s more than a journal—it’s your companion for healing, clarity, and spiritual growth.

7 Biblical Truths Every Christian Woman Needs to Hear When She Feels Unworthy

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” – Song of Songs 4:7

We all have those days—the days when we question our worth, shrink back, and wonder if we’re truly enough. For many Christian women, especially those navigating seasons of healing, growth, or starting over, that question of “Am I worthy?” quietly follows us into our quiet time, our relationships, and even our dreams.

But here’s the truth: your worth was never meant to come from how much you do, how flawless your past is, or how loud your faith sounds. It was always meant to be rooted in who God says you are.

If you’ve been feeling not-enough lately, this post is for you. Let’s walk through 7 biblical truths that affirm your identity and help you realign with your God-given worth.

1. You Are Loved, Right Now—Not Later

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

God didn’t wait for you to be “better” before He loved you. You don’t have to earn it, clean yourself up, or fix your entire life. His love is already yours—right now, as you are.

✨ Reflect: Where have you been trying to earn God’s love instead of receiving it?

2. You Are Chosen—Not an Afterthought

“You did not choose me, but I chose you…” – John 15:16

You are not a backup plan. You were chosen on purpose, for a purpose. Your story is not random. Even in your weakness or weariness, you are deeply seen and wanted by God.

✨ Affirmation: I am chosen by God. My presence on this earth is intentional.

3. You Are Fully Known and Still Fully Loved

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” – Jeremiah 1:5

God knows the darkest parts of your past, your private regrets, and your unspoken pain — and still loves you completely. That is the beauty of grace.

✨ Journal Prompt: What parts of myself do I hide from others? How might God be inviting me to bring them into His light?

4. Your Weakness Is a Platform for His Strength

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9

Stop disqualifying yourself because of your struggles. God doesn’t need you to be perfect — He needs you to be available. Your weakness doesn’t make you unusable. It makes you a vessel for His power.

✨ Affirmation: My imperfections make room for God’s strength to show up.

5. You Are a New Creation—Not Defined by Your Past

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come…” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

That mistake, that old version of you, that shame you still carry—it’s not your identity anymore. You’ve been made new. You’re allowed to grow. You're allowed to change.

✨ Reflect: What old labels or lies do I still carry that God is asking me to lay down?

6. God Delights in You, Not Just Tolerates You

“The Lord your God… will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” – Zephaniah 3:17

Sis, God isn’t putting up with you—He delights in you. You bring joy to His heart, not because of what you do, but because of who you are to Him: His beloved daughter.

7. Your Worth Is Not Performance-Based

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves…” – Ephesians 2:8-9

You don’t have to hustle for your worth. You don’t have to pray perfectly, work endlessly, or earn applause to matter. God’s grace already did the heavy lifting. Now you get to rest in your identity and grow from a place of love — not pressure.

💗 You Are Worthy Because He Says So

You may not always feel worthy. But feelings aren’t facts. God’s Word is truth—and it never changes.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or not enough, come back to these truths. Let them shape your perspective and root your confidence in the only place that never fails: God's love for you.
