Other Girls Wisdom Challenge

Becoming a Woman of Wisdom: A Proverbs Journey for January

January always feels like a new start and full of possibility. This year I want to start it off right.

So for January, we Other Girls, are reading one chapter of Proverbs every day — 31 days of wisdom, femininity, discipline, and spiritual formation.

Proverbs is a book written for shaping character. That's exactly what we are doing in 2026.

Below, you’ll find reflection questions and journaling prompts to help you process each chapter. Whether you’re reading with a cup of tea before work or catching up on the weekend, these questions will help you go deeper.

Let’s become the kind of women filled with wisdom.

Reflection Questions for Your Proverbs Study

Use these questions with each chapter or return to them whenever something resonates. They’ll help you connect Scripture to real-life.

1. What stood out to me in today’s chapter?

Was it a warning? A promise? A command? A challenge? Write the verse that tugged on your heart or stopped you in your tracks.

2. What does this teach me about being a wise woman?

Ask:

• Does this call me to maturity?

• Does it challenge my habits or mindset?

• How does this shape the woman I am becoming?

  
  

3. Where is God calling me to grow in discipline?

Proverbs talks a LOT about diligence, consistency, and work ethic.

Consider:

• Morning routines

• Financial stewardship

• Spiritual habits

• Emotional regulation

• Responsibility vs procrastination

Where do you feel conviction?

4. How does this chapter shape my femininity?

Biblical womanhood is not just about appearance — it’s about character.

Ask yourself:

• Does this teach me gentleness?

• Self-control?

• Discretion?

• Kindness?

• Strength?

• Wisdom?

• Purity?

• Emotional elegance?

5. What does this reveal about my relationships?

Proverbs is a masterclass on people:

• wise friends vs foolish ones

• gossip vs discretion

• peace vs drama

• honesty vs manipulation

Ask:

Keep it simple. One small, elegant act of obedience that aligns your life with Scripture:

• Read before bed

• Practice hospitality

Wisdom is not theory — it’s lifestyle.

8. What truth can I pray over my life today?

Turn your reading into prayer: “Lord, make me a woman of wisdom.” “Teach me to guard my heart.” “Help me speak with kindness.” “Make my spirit gentle and strong.” “Guide me into disciplined living.”

9. Where did I see God’s wisdom in my day?

Reflect at night:

Wisdom shows up everywhere when you look for it.

Sometimes Proverbs exposes:
