Fearfully Made: Rooting Your Worth in Christ

There’s a lie many of us carry deep in our bones: “If I were different, I’d finally be enough.”
Different weight. Different personality. Different story.

But God doesn’t whisper different over us. He speaks fearfully and wonderfully made.

That’s where we begin in Week One of Nourished by Grace. Before we ever address food, body image, or habits, we have to anchor our worth in something that cannot shift. Psalm 139 doesn’t tiptoe around it—David says God knit us together, He saw us before we were formed, and His thoughts about us are too many to count. That’s the foundation for healing.

The Ache We All Feel

I know what it’s like to measure worth by mirrors and scales, to hide behind clothes or performance, to wrestle with shame that no one else could see. Maybe you do too. But when we live there, it’s like we’re trying to fill a bottomless well with a leaky bucket.

God’s Word points us somewhere else: not to self-improvement, but to His imprint already stitched into our being.

The Invitation of Week One

This first week isn’t about adding another to-do list. It’s about laying down the lie that says I have to earn value.

• We open Scripture and let Psalm 139 remind us we are seen, known, and cherished.

• We face the false beliefs we’ve carried—sometimes for decades.

• We start to imagine what life could look like if our worth was already secure in Christ.

A Glimpse Into My Story

For years, I thought my body was the problem. I tried to control it with diets, with discipline, with sheer determination. But the more I grasped for control, the emptier I felt.

It was in that emptiness that God met me—not with condemnation, but with compassion. He didn’t tell me to try harder; He reminded me that I was His. That same invitation is waiting for you.

Why It Matters

Healing begins when truth moves from head knowledge to heart belief. When Psalm 139 stops being a verse on a page and becomes the mirror you hold up to your life.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and believing, before I lift a finger, before I take a step, before I succeed or fail—God calls me fearfully and wonderfully made. That’s where freedom begins.

Your Turn

This week, I invite you to sit with Psalm 139. Read it slowly. Let one phrase linger. Ask God to show you the parts of your story where you’ve believed “not enough.”

And if you want to walk this road with other women who understand the ache, you can join us inside the Nourished by Grace community. Together we’re choosing to live rooted in grace, not in shame.

Because you are fearfully made. And in Christ, you are fully loved.
