So many women in the church are struggling silently. I know, because I was one of them. On the outside, I looked “good”—faithful, strong, showing up for everyone else. But inside, I was worn out from pretending everything was fine.
We get used to saying “I’m blessed, I’m good” when deep down we’re not. Sometimes it’s because we don’t feel like our feelings matter, or because we’ve been dismissed when we tried to open up, or because we’ve been taught to put everyone else’s needs above our own.
But God never asked us to hide. Healing begins when we tell the truth—first to Him, and then to safe people around us. Naming what’s real gives us permission to feel it, release it, and receive His love in a deeper way.
It’s not easy—it’s vulnerable, even scary. But scripture tells us to carry each other’s burdens, and that only happens when we stop carrying them alone.
So today, I want to give the women in this community the space to share. Be honest. Say where you’re struggling. Watch how God uses other women to pour encouragement and love over you in return.
I’ll start: I don’t have it all figured out. There are moments where insecurity and fear rise up, where I feel like I’m losing control or don’t know who I am outside of what I do. But even in that, God is reminding me—this process is part of my healing, and it’s preparing me to walk with others through theirs.
Sis, you don’t have to do this alone.
