Caring for Your Health and Stewarding God’s Gift of Life

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, a time to shed light on cancers that affect women’s reproductive systems, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. For Christian women, awareness is not only about prevention and treatment—it is also about stewardship. God has entrusted us with our bodies, and caring for them is part of honoring Him.

Understanding Gynecologic Cancers

📖 “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you… and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 KJV

Gynecologic cancers often develop silently, and early detection is vital. Here are the most common types:

• Ovarian Cancer – Often called the “silent killer,” symptoms may include bloating, pelvic pain, and changes in appetite.

• Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer – Usually presents wit

Aging is a journey every woman walks, but how we walk it makes all the difference. September is Healthy Aging Month, a time to reflect on how we can nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits for vibrant living at every stage of life.

As Christian women, we do not merely seek to age gracefully—we seek to age faithfully, stewarding the years God has given us with wisdom and purpose.

📖 “They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.” — Psalm 92:14 KJV

🌿 Stewarding the Body God Gave You

Healthy aging begins with taking care of your physical body. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and maintaining health allows us to serve God and others more fully.

• Nutrition: Choose foods that fuel energy and longevity—whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.

• Movement: Regular exercise keeps muscles strong, bones healthy, and hearts active. Even walking daily can make a difference.

• Rest: Prioritize sleep and r

  ...

When most people think of health, they think about eating well, exercising, and seeing the doctor. While these are important, true health goes far deeper. For the Christian woman, health touches every area of life—body, mind, spirit, relationships, and even purpose.

That’s why the Christian Life Wheel reminds us that God designed us to live balanced, surrendered lives. When one area is neglected, the whole wheel struggles to turn smoothly. But when all areas are strengthened by surrendering to God, life flows with greater peace, energy, and joy.

📖 “I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:23 

Spiritual Health

Your walk with God is the center of everything. Without a vibrant relationship with Him, other areas feel empty. Spiritual health is built through prayer, Scripture, worship, and obedience.

💬 Truth Declaration: “I seek God first, and He strengthens every area of my life.”

September is Suicide Prevention Month, with a focused emphasis during Suicide Prevention Week (September 8–13). It’s a time to remember, to raise awareness, and to support individuals carrying heavy burdens—letting them know they are not alone.

As Christian women, our faith calls us to compassion. Proverbs reminds us that "a friend loveth at all times" (Proverbs 17:17). In a world shadowed by despair, this season is an opportunity to shine Christ’s love through prayer, presence, and practical support.

September begins with Labor Day, a time to honor the contributions of workers across our nation. It also marks the start of Healthy Aging Month, a national awareness campaign reminding us to care for our health and embrace the beauty of growing older.

For Christian women, both observances carry a spiritual reminder: our work and our well-being are gifts from God that must be stewarded with faith and intention.

📖 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23 KJV

Rest, Work, and God’s Design

Labor Day reminds us that work is not just a paycheck—it is worship when offered to the Lord. Whether you are in a career, managing a household, serving in ministry, or caring for others, your labor has eternal value.

But God also reminds us of the importance of rest. From the very beginning, He modeled Sabbath as part of His creation design. Labor Day is a call to pause and reflect: Are we working from a place of striving, or from a place of a...

August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month, an important time to focus on protecting the vision of our little ones. Healthy eyesight is critical to a child’s learning, development, and overall well-being. Yet children are susceptible to a variety of eye concerns, from infections and injuries to conditions like nearsightedness.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reminds parents, caregivers, and educators that safeguarding children’s eye health now can preserve their vision for life.

Why Children’s Eye Health Matters

Children rely on their vision for about 80% of what they learn, both in and out of the classroom. Poor eyesight can lead to difficulties in reading, sports, and even social interactions. Often, children do not realize they have a problem because they assume everyone sees the same way they do.

Early detection is key. Regular eye exams can identify conditions such as:

• Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism)

• Amblyopia

📖 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” — Psalm 139:14 KJV

Understanding Psoriasis

August is Psoriasis Action Month, a time to raise awareness and bring hope to the millions living with this chronic skin condition. Psoriasis is more than just a skin issue—it is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly. This leads to scaling, redness, itching, and sometimes pain.

For many, the visible symptoms also carry an emotional burden. Feelings of embarrassment, frustration, or isolation can creep in. But dear friend, God sees you, and He calls you beautiful and wonderfully made—no condition or diagnosis can alter your worth in His eyes.

📅 Observed: August 11

Many women are quick to care for their families, friends, and even co-workers—yet often put their own health last. Annual Medical Checkup Day on August 11 serves as a timely reminder that caring for your body is not selfish; it is faithful stewardship of the temple God has given you.

Why Annual Checkups Matter

Regular medical checkups are more than routine appointments. They are opportunities to:

• Detect health issues early before they become serious.

• Monitor important markers like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

• Review family history and assess risk factors.

• Gain peace of mind knowing you are taking proactive steps.

Skipping these visits may not feel urgent in the moment, but delayed care can lead to preventable illness or complications. God calls us to wisdom and stewardship, not neglect.

Cataract Awareness Month: 

“The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.” — Proverbs 20:12 (KJV)

August is Cataract Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of protecting our vision and maintaining lifelong eye health. As Christian women caring for our families, communities, and ministries, it is easy to put our own health on the back burner. Yet our vision is a precious gift from God—one that allows us to read His Word, see His creation, and connect deeply with those around us.

🌸 What Are Cataracts?

Cataracts are a clouding of the eye’s lens that leads to blurry vision, difficulty seeing at night, and increased sensitivity to light. They are common as we age, but awareness and prevention can significantly reduce their impact.

Key symptoms include:

• Cloudy or blurry vision

• Fading or yellowing of colors

• Difficulty reading or driving at night

• Frequent prescription changes in glasses

July 28 marks World Hepatitis Day, a global health awareness day aimed at educating people about hepatitis prevention and liver health. For Christian women, it is an opportunity to embrace biblical stewardship—not just for our spiritual lives, but for our physical well-being too.

🌿 What Is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections (such as hepatitis A, B, or C), but it can also result from toxins, alcohol, or underlying conditions. Left untreated, it may lead to liver damage, cancer, or even death.

According to the World Health Organization, millions worldwide live with undiagnosed hepatitis. Yet, the good news is that many forms are preventable or treatable through proper awareness and care.
