Deborah’s Courage: When a Woman Stands Strong in a World That Doubts Her

Deborah wasn’t supposed to lead. At least, not in the eyes of her culture.

She lived in a time when women’s voices were rarely heard in public, let alone respected.

Yet, God chose her to be a judge, prophetess, and leader over all Israel. ✨

Imagine the quiet strength it must have taken to sit under that palm tree (Judges 4:5), day after day, hearing people’s problems, giving wisdom, and knowing some questioned why a woman was in that seat.

Today, so many women carry that same hidden weight:

🌱 Leading in families that don’t see their worth

🌱 Balancing work, motherhood, and expectations that feel impossible

🌱 Speaking truth kindly in places where their voices are ignored or criticized

🌱 Holding faith when the world says “You can’t do it”

Deborah reminds us: it’s not about being fearless — it’s about being faithful.

Even when doubts whisper: “Who do you think you are?” — God says: “You are chosen, called, and equipped.” 💛


📖 Bible verse:

 “Arise, Deborah, arise…”

— Judges 5:12 ✨


A Short Prayer for You:

Lord, give me Deborah’s quiet strength and bold faith.

Help me lead with kindness, speak with wisdom, and stand firm even when I’m doubted.

Remind me that I am chosen, equipped, and never alone.

Amen.



Even if the world questions your strength, remember: God doesn’t.

They Left Me Out — But God Held Me Close 💔🙏

She stopped calling me after her wedding. My own relatives. My own blood. Slowly, they began to distance themselves. No fights. No reasons. Just silence. Sometimes I wonder... Was I only useful to them at one time? When they needed my help, I was important. Now that they no longer need me — I’ve become invisible. My heart whispers: "Am I not worthy anymore? Am I that easy to forget?" 😞 The truth is, I feel abandoned… Used once. Then pushed aside like I don’t matter anymore. But here’s what brings me comfort: God never used me — He always loved me. 💖 When people walk away, God draws closer. When others delete your number, God engraves your name on His hand ✋ He sees every ache, every tear, every lonely moment. One day, He will restore your honor in front of the same people who treated you as “nothing.” But until that day comes — Keep walking with Him. You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved. 🌷 📖 Bible Verse: “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receiv...

They Blame Me for Everything — Even What I Didn’t Do 😞🙏

The fan stopped working? It must be me. The child misbehaved? I must not have taught him well. A misunderstanding between two family members? Somehow, it’s always me who gets blamed. Even when I stay quiet, even when I walk carefully — It feels like I’m always the easiest target. 🎯 Sometimes I wonder: “Am I really that wrong? Or are they just used to blaming me?” No matter what I do — love, help, adjust — it’s never seen. Only my “mistakes” are remembered. I cry silently after everyone sleeps. I smile during the day, but deep down I carry so many bruises — not on my body, but on my heart 💔 But then I remember… God sees the truth. Always. When people twist words, when they target you for no reason God knows your heart. And He will defend you. The world may judge by what they hear. But God knows the real story. And one day, He will lift your head high in front of those who shamed you. 🙌 📖 Bible Verse:  “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” —Exodus 14:14 ✨ A Sh...
