It's Time for Kingdom Daughters to Heal

If I’m being honest, as a woman of faith, I spent many years feeling pulled in two directions.

I needed emotional and mental healing through trauma-informed methods, yet I wanted to stay loyal to my faith and believe that biblical principles alone would heal me.

I didn’t always feel it was okay to receive both faith and science-based insights, and that added a great deal of confusion and uncertainty about how to truly heal.

Because first of all, Scripture and my connection with God’s Spirit comforted me. I felt loved and covered when I turned to the Word.

But on the other hand, I struggled to understand how reading Scripture alone could explain why I thought, felt, or behaved in ways that caused me distress. For example, I didn’t have language for the racing thoughts, panic, or emotional overwhelm I was experiencing. I later learned those were signs of things like hypervigilance, not a lack of faith but symptoms of a heart that had been hurt.

Then there was the other side of the journey. I’ve spent nearly a decade in the therapist’s chair. I’ve read the self-help books, changed my diet, built new routines, and journaled through tears. Science, which is simply the study of God’s creation, gave me practical insight into what was happening inside of me.

Still, I felt conflicted. I wasn’t sure if it was okay to bring God into that process. I worried that if I wasn’t quoting Scripture or praying in every moment, I was somehow depending on “worldly wisdom” instead of divine wisdom.

Over time, I learned that faith and works go hand in hand. I had to release the fear that learning about trauma, the nervous system, or emotional health was somehow ungodly. It’s not atheism to understand the body God designed, it’s stewardship.

Yes, there are boundaries around the voices and messages we take in. But we don’t have to fear upsetting God by learning about ourselves through the insights of science.

God is our ultimate Healer. But science gives us language to describe where we’re hurting and how we’ve been impacted, so that we can bring those wounded parts to Him.

The Wounds We Don’t Talk About

But the truth is, many of us have been wounded.

And those wounds can leave us struggling with our identity, weighed down by shame, and feeling disconnected from who we really are.

Then there’s what I call the love void.

It’s that deep hunger to be loved in a way that soothes the pain of being under-loved at some point in our lives.

There’s so much happening in our world that causes us to carry heavy hearts, minds, and spirits.

And in those quiet moments you might wonder, How do I nurture the hurting parts of me? How do I fix what feels broken?

The Counterfeit Healing the World Offers

It’s in those very moments of confusion that the enemy steps in and tries to offer quick fixes.

The world calls them healing, but most of them lead us away from real peace.

We’re told to chase “self-healing” and follow gurus who promise that if we just fix ourselves enough, we’ll finally feel whole.

But it never ends. We keep striving, trying to become perfect so we can finally feel at peace.

When we’re hurting, we’re vulnerable to all kinds of false promises. Things like new-age practices, astrology, tarot readings, energy healing, or relationship advice that tells women their value is found in being loved by a man.

These things might sound helpful at first, but they can’t bring true healing.

They go against God’s Word and who He says we are and what we’re worth.

The Real Source of Healing

The real truth is that our Heavenly Father is the only true source of healing.

He’s the light we need to help us walk through the darkness.

Yet, I understand that sometimes it’s hard to see Him that way, especially if we’ve experienced church hurt, spiritual confusion, or disappointment in our faith journey.

But sister, we need healing. Every single one of us.

The Kingdom Daughters community needs restoration to ourselves, to our faith, and to our Father.

We need peace in a world that’s becoming more chaotic and disconnected.

A Call to the Kingdom Daughters

We can’t afford to stay here, ignoring what hurts inside.

Because you need you.

And your sister needs you too.

It’s time we face our trauma with courage and faith.

It’s time to look at what’s broken and let God begin to mend it.

Women of faith can heal their trauma too.

Healing isn’t something that only exists outside of church or outside of God.

We have solutions in the Kingdom too.

I know some of us have felt like the faith community doesn’t always know how to point us toward emotional healing, but God is listening.

He hears the cry of His daughters.

And He’s responding by healing His Kingdom Daughters, restoring them, and sending them back out to help others heal.

It’s Time to Heal

So yes, it’s time for every woman who belongs to God’s Kingdom to heal and be made whole again.

It’s time for us to refocus on the Heavenly Father and believe who He says we are.

It’s time to align with true healing practices that bring real restoration.

And it’s time to say goodbye to the surface-level, false-promising healing methods that have flooded our media feeds, promising us “success, satisfaction, and a place in this world.”

We don’t need the things of this world to complete us. We need our Heavenly Father.

Yahweh did not create you to live in confusion, fear, or under the weight of trauma.

You were made for restoration.

Even Kingdom Daughters heal trauma, and it starts now.

Let the healing begin, Daughter of the King.

"For such a time as this.

Esther 4:14"
