RHW 2026 Preview || A Year of Healing, Hope & Holy Renewal

Welcome to 2026 at RHW Ministries

A Year of Healing, Hope, and Holy Renewal

As we step into a brand-new year, my heart feels tender, grateful, and expectant. If you’re reading this today, I want you to know something right from the start:

You are not alone on your journey.

This past year has been stretching for many of us — physically, emotionally, spiritually. Maybe you’ve carried old wounds that resurfaced. Maybe you’ve been navigating health challenges, fear, or fatigue. Maybe life has felt like more than you could hold.

But here’s the beautiful truth:

God has been with you every single step.
And He will continue to carry you into this new year with grace, strength, and hope.

As I prayed over the direction of RHW for 2026, the Lord gently impressed one theme on my heart:

Healing.

Not quick-fix healing.
Not pressured healing.
But the slow, tender, intentional healing that Jesus does as we walk with Him day by day.

That’s the heart behind every column I’ll be sharing with you this year.


Your RHW Journey for 2026

Each Friday has a purpose — gentle, steady, and rooted in Scripture.

🌿 1st Friday — Recovery Reframed

We’ll take an honest look at the places women run when life becomes too heavy.
Not with shame.
Not with judgment.
But with compassion and Christ-centered hope.
Each month, we’ll uncover a new struggle and discover the healing Jesus offers in the middle of it.

2nd Friday — Running the Race (Hebrews Study)

Hebrews is a book of endurance, encouragement, and spiritual maturity.
This study will help us keep our eyes on Jesus — especially when we feel tired, distracted, or discouraged.
Think of this as your monthly “faith reset.”

🌸 3rd Friday — The Healing Journey

These posts will speak directly to the deeper places of your heart.
The emotional places.
The weary places.
The places that need rest, comfort, and gentle truth.
Each month, we’ll explore one facet of personal and spiritual healing.

📘 4th Friday — Book Study (Joyce Meyer: Answers to Anxiety)

This book has been a gift to me, and I believe it will bless you too.
We’ll walk through it together, one chapter at a time, pulling out practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for everyday peace.

🌼 5th Friday — Reviews & Sacred Pause Features

When a month gives us a 5th Friday, we’ll enjoy something lighter:

    • a spiritual review
    • a worship spotlight
    • a devotional reflection
    • or a simple “sacred pause” to breathe and rest
      These posts will be gentle and refreshing.

My Heart for You This Year

If you feel tired… discouraged… anxious… or simply ready for a fresh start, this space is for you.
My prayer is that RHW becomes a quiet sanctuary — a place to breathe, reset, and receive from the Lord.

This year is not about striving.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s not about doing more.

It’s about walking closely with Jesus and letting Him tend to the wounds we often try to hide.

He sees you.
He loves you.
And He delights in healing what hurts.


A Prayer to Begin the Year

Lord, thank You for carrying us into a new year filled with hope and possibility.
Meet us in the places that ache.
Heal the wounds we’ve carried for far too long.
Strengthen us where we feel weak.
Lead us gently into the plans You have for us in 2026.
May this be a year of deeper peace, fuller joy, and unexpected healing.
We trust You, Jesus — one step, one breath, one day at a time.

Amen.


As we close, I invite you to receive this blessing with a quiet and open heart. This new lyric video of “The Blessing” featuring Andrea Bocelli with Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes, feels like holy ground. Let these words—rooted in Scripture and wrapped in worship—rest over you as God’s covering for the year ahead. May His presence go before you, and behind you, and beside you, all around you and give you peace.

RHW 2021 PREVIEW

In 2021 Reaching Hurting Women continues our magazine format which offers four different themes for study and contemplation every month for the year. Each of the four power-packed themes will be a 12 month series assigned to a specific Friday of every month. In months with five Fridays we’ll be offering a special column reviewing touching inspirational music.

Happy New Year! I’m so excited to give you an overview of the upcoming weekly Reaching Hurting Women columns for 2021.  We’ll be continuing our magazine format which offers four powerful themes for study each Friday of the month. The schedule will be as follows:

1st Friday of Each Month: Psalm 91 

The first Friday of each month we will be studying Psalm 91. We’ll be breaking down this powerful psalm one phrase at a time and applying its phenomenal protection promises to our life today.

2nd Friday of Each Month: The Holy Spirit

On the second Friday of each month we’ll be going through an in-depth study of The Holy Spirit. We will be learning about who The Holy Spirit is, what are the gifts and fruits of the Spirit and how we can walk them out in our daily life.

3rd Friday of Each Month: Life Recovery Gifts

Continuing our ongoing recovery work, this year we’ll be studying the 12 Gifts of Life Recovery. We will learn about the hidden blessings that come as an added benefit with our journey into wholeness and health.

4th Friday of Each Month: The Do It Afraid Book Study 

Our book study for 2021 is Do It Afraid: Embracing Courage in the Face of Fear by Joyce Meyer. We will learn how to understand fear, recognize how it works in our life, confront the fears that hold us back and achieve lasting freedom from those fears. Join me as we dig into Joyce’s awesome and timely released new book.

5th Friday Months: Music Reviews 

I’m really happy to be continuing the special column that I premiered in 2020. On the last Friday in each of the months that have five Fridays (January, April, July, October and December) I’ll be bringing you reviews of Christian music that has particularly touched my heart and spirit.

I’m so looking forward to a wonderful year of writing and study together in the Lord. I hope you’ll join me and bring along a friend when you can.

I pray God’s many Blessings upon you and your family for this coming year and always… Tamara
