Our Top Beauty Secret Is Prayer

How do we achieve the ultimate beauty boost? How can we reach the highest level of personal beauty through our daily efforts? What is the ultimate beauty hack? The answer is the best kept beauty secret in the world. And it might surprise you.

It's prayer! To pray during your beauty routine, to align your personal beauty to that of God's ideals, and to use your beauty enhancements as a way to bring glory to Him, is the key. Being prayerfully minded while we go through our beauty routine is the best way to connect ourselves to the main source of all beauty—God.

It is entirely possible to talk to Christ while you gaze into the mirror. Or offer a prayer of gratitude for your beauty and health as you wash your face with a fresh towel. You can feel the goodness of God all around you as you go throughout each step of your daily beauty routine. Ask the Holy Spirit to shine through you so that others might see His glory. Why? Because the glory of God shining through you is the best-kept beauty secret in the world.

Your routine for looking your best might seem insignificant, but when you are involved in the process of self-beautification, the goal is to emphasize the natural beauty God has given to you, rather than to emphasize yourself or your ego. Your beauty comes from God! Working to enhance or cultivate that beauty is a good thing to do—but having the appropriate mindset, or a prayerful state of being, is the key to a more elevated and worthy form of beauty.

The benefits are two-fold. For one thing, praising God and keeping God at the forefront of your mind in any situation is never wrong. “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:2 ESV).

But the exciting part you might not be aware about is the glowing effect that incorporating prayer into your routine has on your own personal beauty. Your beauty, when offered up to God to glorify Him, simply heightens your looks in a way that is beyond normal. The most plain and simple face becomes luminous when Holy Spirit is involved. Don’t take our word for it—try it yourself!
