The Quiet Becoming

Nichole J Suvar

The Quiet Becoming is for the woman who longs for peace but feels defined by her anxiety.

Here, we return to God’s design for mental wellness-learning that transformation doesn’t come through striving harder, but through small, intentional acts of trust. You are not your overwhelm. You are not your racing thoughts.

You are becoming.

One faithful choice.
One surrendered prayer.
One purposeful moment at a time.

    For the times when it feels like you will never arrive

    Do you spend mental energy thinking about the next thing on the calendar or the next step to reach a certain goal? Do you feel like you are falling behind and wonder if you will ever reach the destination you have in mind? Does it feel like this constant state of trying to arrive at something is exhausting? Why are we so obsessed with arriving? Why are our thoughts so often consumed with accomplishing the next step in a career, the next stage with our kids, the next tier financially, or the completion of a dream? Because arriving was ingrained into our souls. Hebrews 13:14 (ESV) says “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” • Weekly encouragement to live a life of purpose delivered directly to your inbox - sign up ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Schedule an Intentional Living Strategy call with Nichole ⁠HERE⁠ • Enroll in the Peace and Purpose Course ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠ • Numbering Our Days: Combating Anxiety in the Power of Small Intentional Moments - get your copy ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠ Connect the life that God has given you with the purpose He has called you to.
