Signs of Emotional Healing for Christian Women
Host: Hi lovely, it’s Marvel, and welcome back to "Emotional Healing for Christian Women," the podcast dedicated to guiding you through your journey of wholeness in Christ. In our "Heal First, Love Better" series, we've talked about why emotional healing is so crucial, especially before you step into new relationships.
Today, I want to share something incredibly empowering: the signs you know you're truly healing emotionally. This isn't about perfection, but about progress – recognizing the beautiful shifts in your heart and life.
(0:45) Sign 1: You Stop Reacting, You Start Reflecting
One of the most profound signs you're healing, my dear sister, is when you stop reacting and start reflecting. You'll notice you're not getting mad over the same old triggers, or sinking into the deep pit of self-pity. The constant "why me?" begins to fade, replaced by a new, powerful question: "What would You have me do with this experience, Lord?"
This is a monumental shift. It means you've begun to recognize that if God allowed you to go through the abuse, the disappointment, the pain, and you're still here – sane, alive, and listening to this – surely there is a purpose for your pain. You're moving from victimhood to victorious, understanding that your suffering is not wasted, but can be redeemed and used for His glory. This is a key step in overcoming emotional wounds and finding inner peace.
(2:15) Sign 2: You Pay Attention to Patterns and Triggers
Secondly, you know you are healing when you've started paying keen attention to patterns – patterns of abuse, of unhealthy dynamics, of where and how they occur. Could it be when you visit certain places? Or when certain people have access to you? You've become a keen observer of your own life.
Journaling becomes your powerful tool here. I remember recently, while journaling, I had an "aha!" moment. I realized I had a similar emotional experience at the very same time last year. That showed me the pattern! Does it have to do with the weather? Maybe. You've also started observing how the enemy tries to trigger you – what button he uses to ignite that feeling of invisibility, rejection, or abandonment. You've become more discerning, and you are now making necessary adjustments to keep yourself safe. You're rechanneling your energy and focus because you've found out the devil's old trick. This is vital for trauma recovery and spiritual growth for Christian women.
(4:15) Sign 3: You Set Boundaries Without Apology
Thirdly, you know you are healing when you start putting boundaries in place, and you are not apologizing for them. Remember, first you stopped being mad and overreacting. Then, you observed and acknowledged repetitive patterns. Now, you're confidently setting boundaries without apology. This includes physical, emotional, and all forms of boundaries that allow you to breathe, reflect, and plan. These boundaries create the sacred space for your talents and gifts to flourish because you're now shutting out negativity. You're now releasing friendships, relationships, employments, and activities that no longer serve or align with your purpose in this season. This is a powerful act of self-worth and healthy relationship building.
(6:15) Sign 4: You Actively Pursue Your Purpose & Prioritize Well-being
Finally, a truly beautiful sign of healing is when you are now doing the work your purpose for this season requires. You're finally starting that business, you're finally posting content that aligns with your purpose and glorifies God. You're no longer careless with who you give access to your phone contacts or emails, whose posts you read, or what invitations you honor. You now see yourself as worthy and carry yourself differently. There's no more drama. You've stopped arguing over the same matter that has lingered for 10 years, whether it's a family issue or a health matter. You now prioritize your health: you sleep on a regular routine, you listen to music that motivates and keeps you focused. You're finally writing that book, you're organizing that event.
My darling, you are beginning to heal. This is the fruit of your emotional healing journey and a testament to your resilience as a Christian woman.
(8:00) Conclusion
As you listen to this podcast, I hope you feel seen and acknowledge the incredible work you have put into your recovery. You are not perfect, and perfection is not the goal; you are in a beautiful, ongoing process. Every step, every boundary, every moment of reflection is a victory.
Keep leaning into God’s grace. He sees your efforts, and He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. This journey of healing emotional wounds is preparing you for a life of purpose and healthy, Christ-centered relationships.
If you're recognizing these signs in your life, or if you're longing to experience this kind of freedom, remember I'm here to support you.

(Outro Music: Fades in, gentle and hopeful)
Host: Thank you for joining me on "Emotional Healing for Christian Women." Until next time, stay rooted in His love, and keep thriving. God bless.

Prayer to Heal Family of Origin Wounds
Heavenly Father,I bring You the pain from my past. The places where I felt unseen, unheard, or unloved — I lay them at Your feet.
Your Word says in Jeremiah 30:17,"I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds," declares the Lord.So I trust You, God — restore the broken parts of me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayer to Release Past Hurt & Trauma
Lord,I’m tired of carrying this pain. I lay down the bitterness, the resentment, and every memory that still hurts. Help me forgive — even when it’s hard.
Your Word says in Psalm 147:3,"You heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds."Heal me, Lord — bind me back together with Your love. Amen.
Prayer for the Inner Child
Father,Speak tenderly to the little girl inside me — the part of me that still feels afraid, alone, or not good enough.
In Psalm 23:3, Your Word says,"You restore my soul. You lead me beside still waters. You are my Shepherd."So I rest in Your arms. Hold the young me — and tell her she is safe now. Amen.
Prayer to Overcome Self-Doubt
God,Silence every voice that says I’m not enough. Let Your truth be louder than the lies I’ve believed.
Your Word says in Psalm 139:14,"I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."I receive that truth into my heart today. Amen.
Prayer for Freedom from People-Pleasing
Lord,I don’t want to keep living for the approval of others. Set me free from the need to be liked, and help me focus on pleasing You.
As it says in Galatians 1:10,"If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."Give me courage to set boundaries with love and wisdom. Amen.
PART 2: Prayers for Love & Healthy Relationships
Prayer for a Godly Spouse
Father,I pray for a partner who puts You first — a man of integrity, kindness, and faith.
Your Word says in Matthew 6:33,"Seek first the Kingdom of God… and all these things will be added to you."So I seek You — and trust You with the rest. Amen.
Prayer for Emotional Safety
God,I long for a love that is patient and kind, not confusing or painful. I want love that reflects Yours.
Your Word in 1 Corinthians 13:4 reminds us,"Love is patient, love is kind… it keeps no record of wrongs."That’s the kind of love I wait for — nothing less. Amen.
Prayer for Discernment
Lord,Help me see clearly. Don’t let loneliness cloud my judgment. Give me wisdom to know what’s from You — and what’s not.
Your Word says in James 1:5,"If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, and it will be given generously."So I ask You now — guide my heart and my steps. Amen.
Prayer for Patience While Waiting
Father,It’s hard to wait. But I know You’re not withholding — You’re preparing. Strengthen me while I wait.
In Isaiah 40:31, Your Word promises,"Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength… they will walk and not grow weary."Help me wait in peace, not panic. Amen.
Prayer for Protection from Red Flags
Lord,If it’s not from You — let it fall apart. Open my eyes to see every red flag and close the door to anything that’s not aligned with my healing.
Your Word warns in 1 Peter 5:8,"Be alert… for your enemy prowls like a lion, seeking someone to devour."Protect me. I trust Your wisdom over my emotions. Amen.
PART 3: Preparing Your Heart for Love
Prayer to Heal Before Love
God,Before I pray for a husband, heal the part of me that calls anxiety “chemistry”…Heal the part of me that thinks love must hurt.Heal the part of me that believes I’m too broken to be chosen.
As You said in Romans 12:2,"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind… then you will know what is good, pleasing and perfect."I invite You to renew me from the inside out. Amen.
Prayer for Wholeness in Singleness
Father,Help me see that I am already whole — even without a ring, even without a partner. You are my source.
Your Word in Philippians 4:19 says,"My God will supply all your needs."So I rest in that promise today. Amen.
Prayer to Walk in Identity
God,Let me stop chasing what I think I need… and start walking boldly in who I already am.
You say in Psalm 34:5,"Those who look to You are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame."So today, I lift my eyes — and walk in my worth. Amen.
Closing Blessing
Lord,Every woman and man listening today — bless them with clarity, courage, and comfort.Where there has been pain, bring healing.Where there’s confusion, bring peace.Where there’s waiting, fill the space with purpose.
And as Your Word says in Numbers 6:24–26,"May the Lord bless you and keep you; may His face shine upon you and give you peace."Amen.

TRANSCRIPT
Today, I want to sit with you heart to heart.This isn’t going to be a long teaching. It’s not even going to be filled with a hundred tips.
It’s just one question.One that could change everything about how you approach love, Before you pray for a husband…Before you call that connection “God-ordained”...
Ask yourself: Am I choosing love from my healing — or from my wounds?
Because the truth is: unhealed pain doesn’t go away just because we want to be loved.It shows up in how we see ourselves, how we settle, and who we say “yes” to.
when you haven’t healed, you won’t just feel lonely —You’ll feel unworthy. Insecure. Silent in rooms where you should speak.
And that doesn’t just affect your confidence at work or in friendships —It affects who you let close to your heart.
Let me tell you a real story — shared with permission — that captures this perfectly.
Amanda was beautiful. Resourceful. A university graduate.But somewhere along the way, life chipped away at her self-esteem.
So she took a job far below her qualifications.Every day, she worked beside people who had the same degree —but they were leading teams, presenting ideas, getting promoted.
She dressed plainly.She avoided attention.And she quietly assumed, “Maybe I’m just unlucky. Maybe this is all I’m worth.”
She couldn’t say no.She avoided asking for help.She stayed quiet — and small — even when she had ideas.
Then… the attention started.Not from the man she hoped would notice her — a respectful, professional Christian colleague who kept his boundaries and showed no mixed signals.But from other men.
One by one, they started coming around.A married colleague asked her out.Another — who openly used drugs and alcohol — started spending time with her.
And she let him.
Not because she didn’t know better.But because something in her still felt: “This is the best I can get.”
He’d call her after work. Visit her. Stay on the phone for hours.She knew it wasn’t aligned with her values. But it felt like affection. Like attention.
And that… felt like love.
Until one weekend — she called his line.
And his friend answered:
“He can’t come to the phone… he’s at his customary wedding.”
Her heart broke.Deep down, she had known.But she stayed — because the fear of being lonely was louder than the fear of being used.
Later, when she confronted him, he said something that shook her:
“I was dating you both… just waiting to see who was ready to marry first.”
That moment — that heartbreak — became her turning point.
She asked herself, for the first time:
“What is it about the way I show up…that makes emotionally unavailable, dishonorable men feel comfortable with me?”
And the truth?
It wasn’t her fault.But it was her responsibility to heal.
What most people didn’t know was that Amanda’s parents divorced when she was just 10 years old.Her father remarried quickly, found a new sense of purpose in his new church community, and became a committed husband — just not to her mother.And not fully present in her life.
Her mother, on the other hand, never remarried.She worked two jobs and carried the emotional and financial weight of the home alone.There wasn’t much time for affection — or attention.So this young woman learned to stay quiet, to not need too much, and to survive by becoming self-sufficient.
Fast forward to adulthood — Amanda looked stable on the outside.But inside, she carried grief she hadn’t given herself time to feel.
Just recently, she had walked away from an engagement to a pastor —a relationship that started in faith but ended in deep confusion and betrayal.She hadn’t properly grieved that either.She had just… moved on. Or tried to.
Meanwhile, her close friends were all getting married. One by one.She cheered them on — but each wedding reminded her of what she didn’t have.
She told herself she was fine.But underneath her success and kindness…She was carrying layers of rejection, abandonment, and emotional exhaustion she had never had the space to heal.
If you haven’t healed…
You might settle for crumbs and call it attention.
You might confuse flattery with commitment.
You might ignore your boundaries just to feel wanted.
And worst of all…You might avoid the very kind of person who would treat you with consistency, honor, and love.
Because healing doesn’t just change your standards.It changes what you’re drawn to.
When you’ve healed, you won’t chase mystery.You’ll choose stability.
When you’ve healed, you won’t need someone to complete you.You’ll want someone to walk with you.
so before you pray for a husband…Pause and pray for this first:
God, heal the part of me that thinks love must hurt.
Heal the part of me that calls anxiety chemistry.
Heal the part of me that confuses attention with commitment.
Heal the part of me that fears being alone more than being mistreated.
Because who you are before the relationship…Will shape how you show up in the relationship.
If this story hit close to home — you are not alone.You are not broken.And you don’t have to settle for being tolerated when you were born to be chosen.
So my love, if you’ve been praying for a husband… that’s beautiful.God hears you.But make sure you’re also healing.
Not to be perfect.Not to be “ready” in some impossible sense.But to protect your peace… and prepare your heart
Grab my book Beyond the Hurt — it’s filled with real stories and gentle tools to help you heal what’s still shaping your relationships.
Or send me an email or book a 1:1 session with me. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to emotional wholeness.
You deserve love that doesn’t cost you your peace.
Before you pray for a husband, pray for healing.And healing will change who — and how — you choose.
Heal first, love better. Until next time stay beautiful. Stay confident
With love,Marvel

Why that relationship feels off, could be because it is trauma familiarity.
Here’s what I’ve learned about trauma:It doesn’t always show up as pain.Sometimes, it shows up as familiar.It teaches your nervous system, “This is what love feels like” — even if it’s unsafe.Even if it hurts.
But just because it feels familiar doesn’t mean it’s right.
Welcome to Emotional Healing for Christian Women.

God Didn’t Send Him — Trauma Did
You were right all along… something felt off, didn’t it?
I thought he was an answer to prayer… but he was actually a reflection of my pain.
I convinced myself it was “God’s will,” but really — it was just familiar dysfunction wrapped in hope.
Have you ever spiritually justified someone who constantly triggered your anxiety, ignored your boundaries, or made you feel like you were asking for too much?
Let’s talk about it — honestly, gently, and without judgment.
Here’s what I’ve learned about trauma:It doesn’t always show up as pain.Sometimes, it shows up as familiar.It teaches your nervous system, “This is what love feels like” — even if it’s unsafe.Even if it hurts.
But just because it feels familiar doesn’t mean it’s right.
And can I just say this gently?
This was never about shame — it’s about clarity.Because when you finally name the pattern… you take the first step toward breaking it.
The truth is: not every relationship that feels intense is from God.Sometimes, it’s not divine alignment.Sometimes… it’s trauma reenactment.
I’ve heard this story so many times — from women who are smart, prayerful, and deeply faithful…Women who love God but find themselves entangled in painful relationships that mirror the rejection, chaos, or emotional abandonment they experienced growing up.
So when someone triggers your abandonment wound or treats you how your emotionally unavailable parent did…Your body might interpret that as chemistry — not danger.
Trauma doesn’t just make you tolerate red flags.It trains you to chase them.
Let me give you a real-life example from my practice (shared with permission, details changed for privacy):
A woman I worked with kept getting involved with men who were emotionally distant — but spiritual on the surface.One man would pray with her on Monday… then ghost her by Friday.She stayed, hoping he’d change. Why?
Because deep down, it wasn’t just about him.It was about a father who was present in the church… but absent in her emotional world.And when this man repeated that pattern, it felt like home.
Until she did the healing work, she kept calling it “God’s process.”But really… it was unresolved trauma calling her back to familiar pain.
The wilderness is lonely. Quiet. Uncomfortable.But sometimes God leads us there… not to punish us, but to heal our choosing pattern.To reset our nervous system.To remind us:
You don’t need to earn love. You already are loved.
Another one?In Genesis 29, Jacob loves Rachel — but gets Leah on the wedding night.He labors seven more years for love.
Some of us are still laboring emotionally for someone who isn’t even ours to carry.But God never told you to work for love — He offered it freely.And until you receive His love as your anchor, you’ll keep chasing human connections that destabilize you.
if you’re listening and this resonates…Here’s what I know you truly long for:
A relationship where you're seen, chosen, and emotionally safe
To feel confident setting boundaries without fear of rejection
To stop mistaking anxiety for chemistry
To choose from wholeness, not from your wound
To wait well — not from pressure, but from peace
To recognize God’s voice over your trauma’s voice
Steps to Start Healing:
Name the pattern – Ask yourself: who does this person remind me of emotionally?
Pause the chase – The more dysregulated you feel around someone, the more you need space to evaluate.
Do your inner work – Therapy, coaching, journaling — anything that helps you trace the root of the familiar pain.
Let God re-parent you – Ask Him to show you what healthy love feels like… by receiving it first from Him.
Don’t spiritualize dysfunction – If it steals your peace, manipulates your hope, or ignores your worth — it’s not from God.
If this episode spoke to you, I want to invite you to go deeper.
Download my book Beyond the Hurt — where I share real stories and proven steps to heal from trauma, shame, and unhealthy patterns.💬 Or book a 1:1 faith-based counselling session with me — let’s walk through this together.
God didn’t send him — but God can still use the lesson to redirect you into love that is safe, secure, and sacred.
You’re not broken.You’re not too much.And you’re not too late.You’re just healing.And healing will change who — and how — you choose.
With love,Marvel

If you’ve ever asked, “Why wasn’t I enough for them to stay?” — this is for you.Because that question? It doesn’t just live in your thoughts.It sinks into your identity.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about how grief, shame and self-doubt can quietly shape the way we see ourselves — our value, our relationships, even our connection with God.
Shame and grief are heavy, hidden feelings that tells you:"There’s something wrong with me."It’s different from guilt — guilt says, “I did something wrong.”No — shame is deeper. It whispers, “I am what’s wrong.
To unpack this tender and powerful topic, I’m joined by a beautiful soul — Mercia Strydom.
Mercia shared how she lost her husband to cancer and the deep grief that followed—until she received God's comfort and healing.
Hope this episode blesses you.
