Overcoming People-Pleasing: Embracing God’s Approval
Seven-day study to help women overcome people-pleasing by seeking God's approval and embracing their true identity in Him.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this insightful 7-day Bible study designed especially for women who struggle with the tendency to please others before God. Many women find themselves caught in a cycle of seeking validation from people—friends, family, coworkers—often at the expense of their own joy and spiritual wellbeing. This journey reminds us that the ultimate approval we need is from God Himself.
People-pleasing can stem from our deep desire to be accepted and loved, but the Bible calls us to a different standard. Rather than molding ourselves to fit human expectations, we are invited to find our identity and worth in Christ, who loved us first and gave His life for us. When we fix our eyes on God’s approval, we no longer have to bend to the fluctuating opinions of others and can instead stand strong in our God-given purpose.
Throughout this study, you will find scriptural truths, devotional reflections, and practical journal prompts to help you recognize areas where people-pleasing has taken root, learn how to prioritize God’s will, and embrace freedom in Him. Each day’s readings and reflections will encourage you to let go of unhealthy approval-seeking and cultivate a heart that delights in what pleases God above all else.
Remember, this is a process rooted in grace—not perfection. Be gentle with yourself and open to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Let these days be a step toward authentic freedom and deeper intimacy with your loving Father.
