Self-Care Day 11: Decluttering and Nourishing


On Day 11 of my self-care journey, as we continue our church’s solemn assembly, I am reminded that God desires not only to bring order to my physical spaces but also to my heart. Today, I will take 10 minutes to declutter a space in my home and roast a medley of vegetables to nourish my body.


I draw encouragement from 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NASB):

“For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.”


Decluttering my environment is an act of worship, reflecting God’s nature as a God of order and peace. As I tidy up, I’ll invite Him into the process, asking Him to declutter my thoughts and priorities as well. Just as I create more space in my surroundings, I pray to make more room for His presence in my life.


As I roast vegetables—filling my home with their warmth and aroma—I’ll reflect on how God’s provision nourishes my body and soul. Each colorful vegetable reminds me of His creativity and care, and I thank Him for the simple, wholesome gifts that sustain me.


I affirm these truths today:

God brings peace and order to my life when I surrender chaos to Him.

Decluttering isn’t just physical—it’s spiritual, making room for what truly matters.

Nourishing my body honors God, who designed me with care and purpose.


Lord, thank You for being a God of peace and provision. As I declutter and nourish my body today, help me to do so with gratitude and joy. Fill my heart with Your presence, and guide me to live in a way that reflects Your love and order.


“Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”Psalm 51:10 (NASB)


Amen.
