Women of faith today face a wide range of challenges in both their personal lives and in the world around them. From balancing family, work, and social obligations to navigating the complexities of today’s society, it all may feel heavy and overwhelming.
Yet, women also possess incredible strength, and many find hope and inspiration in the example of women of faith who have gone before them. The courage, perseverance, and deep faith of these women inspires and uplifts us as we face our own challenges.
When we look at the faithful women in the scriptures, we are reminded of God’s enduring love and plan for each of us. They, too, endured great trials, some for many years, but they found comfort in the Lord and were ultimately blessed for their faith. Today, we draw strength from their examples and apply their lessons of trust, perseverance, and reliance on God.
Whether you’re looking for a gift for women, a message of encouragement, or a piece of artwork to inspire reflection, these works beautifully convey the deep love and strength that women of faith embody.
Women of faith in the Old Testament
Weathering Autumn by Rose Datoc Dall
There’s no better place to start than with Mother Eve. While we don’t know much about her life after the fall, Rose Datoc Dall’s artwork imagines the challenges she faced. Despite her loneliness and fear, Eve remained a pillar of strength and wisdom, finding joy even in the face of tribulations. Her resilience continues to be a beacon for women today.
Seeking Shiloah by Joseph Brickey
Shiloah, meaning “He to whom it belongs,” is a city mentioned throughout the Old Testament, symbolizing the coming of Christ. This painting depicts a woman seeking peace and comfort, ready to receive the Savior’s love. It reminds us of the promise that Christ offers us peace through His Spirit, a promise that is available to all who earnestly seek Him.
Rachel by Rose Datoc Dall
Rachel, the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, is portrayed as a hardworking and loving mother. Though there are fewer details given about the lives of women in the scriptures, Rachel’s story reminds us of the importance of faith in God, especially during times of trial.
In the same way Rachel’s faith shaped the resilience of her children, women today have the power to shape future generations through their own faith and example.
Women of faith in the New Testament
Journey to Elisabeth's by Rose Datoc Dall
Mary and Elisabeth, both chosen to be mothers of significant prophets, shared a bond of faith and sacrifice. Their connection reminds us of the power of shared experiences among women and the strength we find when we lift and support one another in times of difficulty. As they comforted one another, we, too, find comfort in our relationships with other faithful women.
For She Loved Much by Simon Dewey
This painting beautifully captures the moment when the woman who has sinned anoints Jesus' feet. Despite being judged by others, her deep love and repentance led Christ to say, “Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much.” Her story reminds us of the power of Christ’s love and forgiveness, and it encourages women to reach out to Him, no matter their past.
The Widow's Mite by Annie Henrie Nader
This piece highlights a woman who quietly gives all she has in faith. Her humble act of service speaks volumes to us today, reminding us that even small acts of faith have great meaning in the eyes of the Lord. Like this widow, we too should give all that we have in service to God, and He will bless us for our sacrifices.
Touch of Faith by Simon Dewey
In this powerful painting, Simon Dewey captures the woman from the New Testament who had endured a debilitating illness for years. Despite the doubt and criticism surrounding her, she demonstrated unwavering faith and courage, even interrupting the Savior's task to seek His healing.
She trusted in Christ's power and goodness, and through her faith, she found hope. Like her, when we reach out to our Redeemer, we, too, will experience His healing and the hope that comes from His love.
Neither Do I Condemn Thee by Eva Koleva
Women often expect perfection. The reality is that the Savior sees us simply as we are and loves us perfectly. He will never condone actions or behaviors that cause us harm, and He helps us get on the path toward hope and healing.
Women of faith in Christlike discipleship
Mourning’s Hosanna by Rose Datoc Dall
Mourning was a woman who overcame great adversity, having grown up as a slave in Virginia. Through her descendants' temple work, they felt a deep connection to her. This painting symbolizes her spiritual freedom and the power of temple work to heal and liberate. As Mourning was freed spiritually, we too can experience that freedom through the gospel.
Enlightenment by Judy Cooley
Judy Cooley’s painting captures the profound peace that comes from immersing ourselves in the scriptures. As we study and meditate on the word of God, He speaks to our hearts, offering insights and direction. For women navigating the complexities of life, the women in the scriptures serve as a constant source of comfort and guidance.
Adorned with Forget-Me-Nots by Rose Datoc Dall
This painting reminds us that God hears our prayers, even in our most difficult moments. As Elder Jeffrey R. Holland stated, “There is help and happiness ahead.” No matter the trials, we should always trust that God is listening and will bring peace and blessings in His own time.
Shield of Faith by Judy Cooley
This artwork depicts a young woman standing strong in the face of life’s challenges, shielded by her faith. The scriptures teach that the shield of faith will quench all the fiery darts of the adversary, and this painting reminds us that we protect ourselves through our trust in God.
Women of faith: motherhood and loss
Mother in Meditation by Abigale Palmer
This touching impressionist piece shows a mother seeking guidance from Heaven while caring for her children. Boyd K. Packer once said, "There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother." This painting beautifully illustrates the power of a mother's prayer and faith. It’s a great gift for women in any stage of motherhood.
They Did Not Doubt by Joseph Brickey
In the Book of Mormon, the story of the 2,000 stripling warriors shows the powerful influence of their mothers. These young men, who faced impossible odds, fought bravely because of their mothers' faith. This artwork serves as a tribute to those mothers whose faith empowered their sons to change the course of history.
Help Thou My Unbelief by Lynde Mott
Motherhood is filled with joy, but it also comes with moments of deep worry and concern. Lynde Mott’s painting captures the weight of a mother’s prayers, especially in times of uncertainty.
