How to Build a Sacred Self-Care Routine That Honors God

Self-care is often seen as self-indulgence, but in reality, it is an act of stewardship over the body God has given us. A biblically inspired self-care routine helps you nourish your body, mind, and spirit, ensuring that you are refreshed and ready to serve God fully.

1. Morning Devotion & Gratitude Practice

📖 Lamentations 3:22-23 – “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.”

Start your day by acknowledging God’s presence:

• Before getting out of bed, take 3 deep breaths and whisper a prayer of gratitude.
• Read a short Bible verse and reflect on how it applies to your day.
• Light a faith-based candle (scented with frankincense or myrrh) to set a peaceful tone.

2. Nourishing Your Body with Biblical Ingredients

📖 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

God has provided natural ingredients for our health. Incorporate biblical superfoods into your diet for physical and spiritual well-being:

• Honey & figs – A natural energy booster.
• Olive oil – A healing and anti-inflammatory ingredient.
• Herbal teas – Chamomile, mint, and ginger are used for digestion and relaxation.
