Faith-based journaling prompts to help single moms, nurses, and survivors of domestic abuse process pain, build resilience, and rediscover their purpose.
Hey sis! I’m Sanje, the proud creator of Rooted & Resilient—your Christian cheerleader in this busy season of motherhood, nursing, and healing. I’ve been a nurse since 2016 and a mom just as long. From working in correctional facilities to now sitting at the table with hospital directors, my journey has been anything but linear. And let me be real: healing hasn’t been linear either.
If you are a single mama, a registered nurse, and a survivor of domestic abuse—this post is for YOU. This season might feel heavy, but you are not walking it alone. One of the most healing things I’ve done is put pen to paper and let my heart speak.
Let’s talk about journaling for healing and how these 7 prompts can help you find clarity, release pain, and hear from God in ways you didn’t even know you needed.
Let’s Talk Graduation Season
Before we dive in, I have to take a moment to shout out all my graduates! Whether you’re graduating from nursing school, completing a bridge program, or cheering on your baby from the stands—I see you. This season is such a reminder that your time is coming too. Every cap and gown you see is proof that the journey is worth it. And if you’re still in the thick of it? Let that motivate you, not discourage you.
Graduation season also tends to stir up a lot of feelings—especially if you’re still waiting for your turn. Maybe you’re asking, When will it be me? Sis, that’s valid. And that’s why this blog post is right on time. These journal prompts will help you sit with that question, bring it to God, and keep walking forward with faith.
