Religion Was Safe, But My Heart Was Dying

I did all the right things.Honored my family.

Followed the rituals. Recited every prayer.But deep inside… I was empty.

Women of God, can I speak to your heart today?

Sometimes, the traditions we keep start to keep us. And while religion may offer structure, it cannot offer intimacy.

I didn’t know I was allowed to question what felt hollow. I didn’t know that God wasn’t offended by my ache for more. But He wasn’t.

He was calling me beyond religion—into relationship.

If that’s you today, I declare your heart is awakening to the realness of Jesus. Not just Sunday mornings… but daily nearness. Not just rules… but radical love.

You were made for more than tradition. You were made for Him.
