Day 9: Mary Magdalene – From Brokenness to Redemption

John 20:16 – "Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means ‘Teacher’).”

Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes, the weight of our burdens makes it hard to keep going. As I’ve walked through my own struggles, I’ve often turned to Scripture to find women who carried heavy hearts yet clung to holy hope. In this devotional series, we will journey with Mary, Hannah, the woman with the hemorrhage, Ruth, Esther, Sarah, Martha, the Canaanite woman, Mary Magdalene, Hagar, and additional women of faith—women who faced uncertainty, loss, and fear but found their strength in God. Their stories remind us that no matter how heavy our hearts feel, we are never alone. God sees us, He hears us, and He is always working for our good. Let’s walk this path of faith together and discover the hope that only He can provide.
