Hope for Women with Father Wounds

Author and speaker Kia Stephens has a mission to help women who grew up without the love and affirmation of their biological father. In Hope for Women with Father Wounds, Kia provides encouragement, healing and practical wisdom for these often-overlooked women.

Daily Affirmations for the Woman with Father Wounds

Today, I wanted to share some daily affirmations - taken straight from Scripture - for the woman who has father wounds. Your life matters and has meaning. Even if your biological father has not communicated his love to you, your heavenly Father has documented his unchanging thoughts concerning you in His Word. You are loved, wanted and valued by the God of the Universe. Below are the verses of affirmation referenced in this episode. Spend some time this week meditating on them, write them on your heart, and know without a doubt your Father in Heaven sees you and loves you. Psalms 139:131 Peter 5:7Philippians 4:19Deuteronomy 7:9Psalms 139:14Romans 8:28Psalm 145:9Jeremiah 23:23-24Psalm 103James 1:5 ORDER KIA’S BOOK ON FATHER WOUNDS - https://amzn.to/3JKeX4I To read the first chapter, head over to https://www.kiastephens.com/ FREE QUIZ - What Type of Father Wounds Do You Have?
