🌸 Art for Healing: Finding Peace Through Color and Scripture 🌸

Guided Art Prompt

Hi sweet friends 💕

If you’ve ever walked through the pain of domestic violence or emotional abuse, first please know this: you are not alone, and you are so deeply loved. Healing takes time, and it often unfolds in small, creative ways that help us reconnect with our hearts.

One beautiful tool that can help during that journey is art journaling, especially when it’s paired with the peace and hope found in God’s Word. Today, I want to share a gentle art prompt designed to help you process emotions safely and rediscover your inner strength.

🎨 Art Prompt: “Beauty from Broken Pieces”

What you’ll need:

  • A blank page or canvas
  • Magazines, old papers, or scrap fabric
  • Scissors and glue
  • Paint, colored pencils, or markers
  • A pen for writing

Steps:

  1. Center yourself. Take a few deep breaths. You’re safe in this moment. Whisper a short prayer, asking God to bring peace as you create.
  2. Tear or cut small pieces from magazines or paper anything that speaks to you. Some may feel dark or sad; that’s okay. Others may be bright and full of hope.
  3. Arrange and glue your pieces to form a shape that represents you, a heart, a flower, a sunrise, or even something abstract.
  4. Add color where you feel drawn to. Let your hand move freely; there’s no “right way.”
  5. Write a Bible verse that reminds you of healing and renewal. One beautiful choice is: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 You might paint the verse across your collage or write it quietly in the corner, just for you.
  6. Reflect. Look at your piece and notice how something new and beautiful has emerged from fragments just like your heart is learning to do.

💕 Why This Helps

Art allows us to express what words can’t always capture. The act of tearing, rebuilding, and coloring can help your mind and body release tension and rediscover calm. When paired with scripture, the creative process becomes a prayer a reminder that God is gently piecing you back together.

🌷 A Gentle Closing Thought

If you’re on a healing journey after domestic violence, please reach out for support from a trusted friend, counselor, or a local domestic violence hotline. You deserve safety, peace, and love.

And as you create, remember: healing is holy work. Every brushstroke, every verse, every breath is a step toward wholeness.

You are worthy of joy again. 💗

Hello,

I’m Brittney

I am a 36-year-old survivor, artist, writer, and advocate who has walked through some of life’s darkest valleys and emerged with a radiant, unshakeable faith. Having endured childhood sexual trauma, decades of domestic violence, temporary paralysis, a coma, memory loss, and the heartbreaking loss of custody of my children as the result. I have had to rebuild my life piece by piece, hand in hand with the Lord. I have had to trust Him to protect, heal and reunite my family. I have had to trust Him to put me back together and turn my trauma into a testimony that honors Him and helps women who are where I have been. Now a two-time cancer and heart failure survivor, I use my story to illuminate hope for others, reminding women that God is still a God of miracles, restoration, and new beginnings. Through my blog, I combine faith, creativity, and lived experience to uplift survivors of abuse, helping them rediscover gratitude, reclaim their identity, and step boldly into the healing God has promised.
