Week 2 Challenge - Clearing the Home: Creating Peace in Our Space
Our physical spaces often reflect our hearts. Cluttered homes can leave us feeling overwhelmed, distracted, and even disconnected from God. This week, we turn our attention to clearing the home — not just for neatness, but to create space for His presence and peace.
🌿 Step 1: Look Around With Intention
Take a slow walk through your home and notice:
Which areas feel heavy or chaotic?
Which rooms bring peace and which bring stress?
What items have been lingering, untouched or unwanted, for months (or years)?
Be gentle with yourself. This is not about perfection — it’s about creating sanctuaries within your home, small spaces where God’s peace can flow freely.
💧 Step 2: Declutter With Purpose
As you go through your spaces, remember: decluttering is not just physical; it’s spiritual and emotional. Each item you let go of is symbolic of releasing what no longer serves your heart.
Ask yourself: “Does this item bring life, joy, or function? Or does it weigh me down?”
Items that no longer serve can be donated, sold, or recycled — letting go creates space for new blessings.
🌿 Step 3: Invite God Into Your Spaces
Once clutter begins to clear, invite God into the empty spaces. Light a candle, play worship music, or spend a few quiet minutes praying in the room. Reflect:
How does this space feel now compared to before?
How does the physical clearing affect your emotional or spiritual state?
Scripture reminds us:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)
Our homes reflect the treasure of our hearts. Clearing clutter makes room for God’s treasures — peace, clarity, and presence — to flow.
