The Devotional
This digital, 44 page, 21-day devotional is for women walking through seasons of anxiety, depression, weariness, or feeling spiritually lost. Whether you're in the depths of a struggle or simply seeking steadiness in your soul, this is an invitation to draw near to God—day by day—with truth, grace, and hope.
Each day offers Scripture, a short devotional reflection, and questions to help you process and apply God’s promises. You don’t have to walk this journey alone—He is with you in every step, and His Word is alive with healing.
Created by Dr. Sarah McLaughlin, D.O., founder of Rooted Energy Women’s Functional Health—a holistic psychiatry practice committed to root cause healing for the mind, body, and spirit.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”
— Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
