Get into the word in 10 minutes a day with these devotions for women. I have gone through each of these devotional books and can personally recommend them to you!
Transform your day in only 10 minutes a day!
Yes, it really is possible and as simple as grabbing a devotional and your Bible and spending a few minutes with the Lord.
How do I know this to be true?
There have been seasons in my life when I fell off the wagon and didn’t have my morning quiet time with the Lord. When I would pick it up a few days or even weeks later it would be transforming. The words would fly off the pages and speak deep into my heart. And I’ll be honest, I was amazed at how much smoother my day would go.
I’ve seen the transformation in my life and I want the same for you!
In addition to the devotions below, I also have a free printable 30 day Bible reading plan for you here.
Why are devotions or a daily quiet time with the Lord so important?
My pastor explained it best!
Picture a sailboat on the water. Unless the sailboat has it’s sails up it’s not going to move and will sit stagnant on the water. But once the captain puts up the sails his boat will start soaring.
Much like the sailboat keeping the sails down, when we fail to spend time with the Lord each day we become stagnant and our faith doesn’t grow.
The next time you sit down for your quiet time put the sail up in your heart and picture yourself sailing along with Jesus, learning more about Him and drawing closer to Him.
My 7 favorite devotions for women with daily lessons that can be done in as little as 10 minutes a day.
1. Fighting Words Devotional: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness by Ellie Holcomb
Number of Daily Devotions: 100
This devotional will open your eyes to the lies that you’re telling yourself and empower you to speak the truth from God’s Word over them.
Many times in this life we feel like we’re the only one that has felt a certain way. But as I read through these pages I’m reminded that I’m not alone, and that the Lord equips with us with the tools we need by filling the Bible with truths that we can speak over ourself and situation. We can find true freedom. It might take some work but it’s possible!
Ellie opens each day with a verse and short devotion. She then asks thought-provoking questions to help us dig deeper and ends with a powerful prayer to pray over ourself. (I love the beautiful embossing with gold-foiled lettering on this devotional.)
Dig Deeper: Along with being a writer, Ellie Holcomb is also a musician. My favorite song of hers is I Will Carry You. You can also check out Ellie’s children’s books here.

Each time I dive into the pages of this devotion it speaks deep into my heart…as if Jesus is speaking directly to my heart.
