Create a Spiritual Life Plan That Actually Works (Even When You’re Overwhelmed)

Create a Spiritual Life Plan That Actually Works

Feeling a little lost lately? You’re not alone.

If your to-do list is full but your heart feels off track, maybe it’s time for something deeper.

Let’s be real for a minute.

Life gets loud. Between deadlines, dishes, and that inner voice asking, “Is this it?”—it’s easy to wake up and realize you’ve been running full speed… but you’re not even sure where you’re headed anymore.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. A lot of us—especially those of us who love Jesus but also have a million browser tabs open in our brains—reach a point where we think, Okay, I need a reset. Like, now.

Not just a spa day or a new planner (though, yes please), but something deeper. Something that actually helps align our daily lives with the life we want to live—the life we feel deep down we’re meant for.

Before you scroll away thinking that sounds way too serious, hear me out…

What Is a Spiritual Life Plan, and Why Should You Care?

Think of it like Google Maps—but for your soul.

A spiritual life plan is a simple, personal roadmap that helps you make decisions, set goals, and live in a way that feels intentional, peaceful, and actually aligned with your faith (even if you’re still figuring that part out).

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being purposeful.

Because let’s be honest—when your insides don’t match your outsides (you know the feeling), it’s exhausting. You can crush it at work and still feel totally disconnected from who you really are and what God’s calling you toward.

Why This Actually Matters (Even If You’re “Doing Fine”)

Having a spiritual plan isn’t just for Bible scholars or people with color-coded journals.

It’s for the woman who:

  • Wants her life to feel as meaningful as her quiet time—when she remembers to have it.
  • Is starting to wonder if there’s more to faith than just showing up to church once in a while.
  • Feels the tug to go deeper, but doesn’t know where to start.

Sound familiar? Good news: you don’t need to overhaul your whole life. You just need a plan that keeps your faith close, even when life gets messy.

Let’s break it down into five totally doable steps.

How to Create Your Spiritual Life Plan

1. Start With a Soul Check-In

Find a quiet spot (or just throw on your AirPods and ignore the laundry pile—we’re not judging). Ask yourself:

  • Where do I feel close to God right now?
  • Where do I feel… kind of disconnected?
  • What would it look like to live my faith more intentionally?

Jot it all down in a notebook or a notes app. The point here isn’t perfection. It’s honesty.

And yes, whisper a little prayer while you’re at it: “God, show me what really matters.”

Proverbs 16:9

2. Set Goals That Actually Matter to You

Don’t worry—we’re not talking about making 50 new resolutions you’ll forget by next Tuesday.

Think small, doable, and personal. A few ideas:

  • Mornings with five quiet minutes before the scroll starts.
  • Volunteering once a month somewhere that fuels your heart.
  • Memorizing one Bible verse that speaks to this season.

Make sure your goals are connected to who you are and who you want to be—not who someone else says you should be.

3. Find Your Go-To Practices

We all connect with God in different ways. For you, it might be journaling, prayer walks, worship playlists, or reading one Psalm a day over coffee.

Start with one or two habits that feel natural. You can always build more later. This isn’t a race—it’s a rhythm.

4. Weave Faith into Your Everyday

Faith doesn’t just live in your devotional app.

It can show up in your car rides (hello, podcasts), your conversations, your mindset at work, and how you wind down at night.

Set little reminders on your phone. Keep encouraging quotes where you’ll actually see them. Choose content that lifts your spirit, not drains it.

Let your life preach even when your mouth is silent.

5. Check In and Tweak as You Go

Your life isn’t static—your plan shouldn’t be either.

Set a monthly reminder to check in. What’s working? What’s not? Adjust, pray again, pivot. This is a living, breathing journey.

The goal isn’t to “get it right.” It’s to keep going.

What You’ll Start to Notice…

✔️ More peace in your decisions
✔️ Less “Am I doing this right?” energy
✔️ Clarity around what really matters
✔️ A deeper connection to your faith—without it feeling forced

And the best part? You’ll be living more like the woman God designed you to be: intentional, grounded, and bold in your purpose.
