Cherished & Chosen: A 7-Day Challenge for Single WomenSample

DAY 7: SELF-COMPASSION

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining the Cherished & Chosen Challenge! Writing this devotional has been a true joy through knowing it is reaching hearts committed to living a God-centered, purpose-filled life. Your dedication and openness to growth have truly inspired me.

As single women, it’s easy to feel pressured by timelines and expectations. But self-compassion is essential by extending to ourselves the same kindness we’d offer a friend. Self-compassion grounds us in grace, helping us embrace our imperfections, honor our unique journeys, and grow without guilt or shame. Your relationship status doesn't define your worth—God gives it to you, and it’s unshakable because it is deeply rooted in His love.

Self-compassion builds resilience, strengthens our faith, and invites peace that surpasses understanding. It reminds us we are already enough.

As you continue this journey, I invite you to check out my book, How to Live an Extraordinary Life, With or Without Mr. Right. It’s filled with encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical tools to help you thrive in joy, confidence, and purpose.

Take a moment to celebrate where you are, reflect on your growth, and reconnect with your faith. Never forget—you are cherished, chosen, and called.

Today's Assignment

Be kind to yourself and treat yourself with compassion. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and celebrate your strengths. Write down all the things that are stressing you out and pray to God about them. Then, throw away the list you just made. Throwing away your list is a physical reminder that you have decided to turn your worries over to God.

Lifelong Mission

Get into the habit of journaling. Journaling allows you to identify situations or people that cause you to feel negative so that you can address these feelings. Then, focus on creating a game plan that will help you to focus on what makes you unique.
