Overcoming Insecurity
For most of my life, I’ve struggled with being insecure about my body — especially my stomach. It was the one area I always found myself picking apart whenever I looked in the mirror. I would compare myself to other women and wonder why I didn’t look like them. Somewhere along the way, I started believing the lie that I had to look a certain way to be considered beautiful — because that’s what society tells us, right?

Devotional: Seeking God Through Prayer and Studying the Bible
Scripture: “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV) Reflection: Seeking God isn’t just something we do on Sundays or when we’re desperate—it’s a daily decision to draw near to Him. I’ve come to realize that prayer is how I pour out my heart to God, but His Word is where I hear His heart for me.
