Have you ever read Proverbs 31 and thought, “Wow… I could never be like that”? I know I have. Sometimes it feels like the description of this “perfect” woman is so far away from my own messy, everyday life. But here’s the thing: being a Proverbs 31 woman isn’t about being perfect. It’s about living intentionally, trusting God, and embracing who He made you to be, right here, right now.

For me, learning what it means to live like a Proverbs 31 woman has been a journey. Some days I feel like I’m nailing it, I am being kind, wise, patient, and intentional, and other days, I feel like I’ve failed before my feet even hit the floor. But that’s the beauty of it: God meets us in the middle of our real lives, not just our perfect moments.

Being a Proverbs 31 woman is less about “doing it all” and more about inviting God into our everyday life, into the laundry, the parenting moments, the tough workdays, and even the quiet tears we don’t show anyone.

Why the Proverbs 31 Woman Still Matters

The Proverbs 31 woman is often remembered for her strength, wisdom, and hard work. But what really inspires me is how she lives with purpose and in faith. She knows her worth isn’t in what she does or how she looks or what the world determines worth by. It’s in God and in His truth. And that is a message we need today more than ever.

I remember one morning, feeling completely drained after a restless sleep. I opened my Bible, and started reading Proverbs 31. It was so inspiring and overwhelming at the same time. It wasn’t that I felt I had to “do it all” that day, but I felt reminded that even in small, ordinary acts, like pouring a cup of tea for my children, sending a kind message or taking a few quiet moments to pray, I was reflecting God’s love. That’s what being a Proverbs 31 woman is really about: small, intentional steps that grow into a life of purpose.

Being a Proverbs 31 woman today doesn’t mean doing it all. It means:

• Choosing love, even when it’s hard.
• Showing kindness, even when no one notices.
• Seeking wisdom, even in small, daily choices.
• Trusting God, even when life feels messy.

Some days you’ll feel like you’re thriving, other days you’ll feel like you’re barely holding it together. And that’s okay. God doesn’t expect us to tick every box, He asks us to lean on Him.

The Proverbs 31 woman reflects a heart that loves well, works with intention, and trusts God in all things. Maybe for you that looks like speaking kindly when you’re stressed, showing patience with your family, or simply giving yourself permission to rest in God’s presence when you’re weary.

How Journaling Can Help You Grow in Faith

One of the things that has helped me the most on this journey is journaling. There’s something powerful about putting pen to paper and letting your thoughts, prayers, and reflections flow. Journaling has helped me:

1. Process My Thoughts and Emotions – Life can be overwhelming. Writing it down helps me sort through what’s really going on in my heart.
2. See How God Works in My Life – When I look back at old journal entries, I can see answered prayers, lessons learned, and how God’s faithfulness has been right there the whole time.
3. Connect with God on a Deeper Level – Writing prayers feels like having a real conversation with Him. It makes my faith more personal and alive.
4. Stay Focused on What Matters – Life is busy, and journaling helps me pause, reflect, and stay intentional with my choices and relationships.

I remember a day I was completely discouraged, things weren’t going right, the house was a mess, and I felt like I was failing in every way. I pulled out my journal, wrote a simple prayer, and then just poured out all my worries. By the time I finished, I felt calmer and more centered. Looking back, I realised that journaling wasn’t just writing; it was a way for God to meet me in my chaos.

If you’ve ever wanted a gentle way to explore your faith, reflect on your day, or just spend a few minutes with God in a meaningful way, a journal can be a wonderful companion. I have designed the Proverbs 31 Woman Journal to guide women through this kind of reflection. It’s filled with simple prompts, space to write prayers, and inspiration from Scripture, perfect for anyone wanting to grow in faith without feeling overwhelmed.

Even just a few minutes of journaling a day can make a big difference. If you’re curious, you can take a peek inside the journal, seeing the pages and prompts might spark some ideas for your own reflection time.

Living Out Proverbs 31 in Real Life

The truth is, being a Proverbs 31 woman doesn’t mean your home is always perfect, your work is flawless, or your family behaves all the time, If this was the definition I would not make the cut. Life is messy, and that’s okay. It’s in the messy, everyday moments that faith really grows.

Here are some small ways I try to live intentionally each day:

• Take five minutes in the morning to read a verse or write a short prayer.
• Say something kind to my family or friends, even if I’m tired.
• Notice moments of beauty and gratitude, like a cup of coffee or tea in peace or a sunny morning.
• Remember that my worth is in God, not in what I accomplish.

The simple everyday moments aren’t meant to be perfect and shouldn’t be a carbon copy of your friends everyday life. Your Journey is unique and special. Pouring out your heart before the Lord and letting Him meet you there. Over time, you’ll start to notice how your faith grows deeper and becomes part of your inner being.

Every small choice matters. Every act of love, patience, or kindness is a step closer to living the Proverbs 31 life, not because we are perfect, but because God is at the center.

If you’ve ever felt like living out Proverbs 31 is too much, remember this: it’s not about striving, it’s about surrendering. You don’t have to carry it all alone. God is with you, cheering you on in every season.

And if you’re looking for a simple way to walk this out, I have created the Proverbs 31 Woman Journal to guide and encourage you. It’s filled with space to reflect, scriptures to ground you, and prompts to help you apply God’s Word in real life. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list, it’s about giving you a gentle place to pause and grow with God
