Welcome back to The Journaling Room Podcast. I’m your host, Kendall Snyder, and today I want to take you behind the scenes of one question—just one journal prompt—that completely changed how I show up in a hard relationship.

This episode is a little more personal. A little more raw. And I hope, in some small way, that my story helps you reflect on your own—especially if you’ve ever wrestled with what love looks like when it’s not being returned the way you hoped.

Here are a few questions to explore:

📓 Journaling Prompts:

1. “What does unconditional love look like in this relationship right now?”
2. “Where am I silencing myself in the name of peace?”
3. “What would it look like to protect my heart and still love well?”
4. “Am I trying to earn love or live loved?”
5. “What expectation or ‘manual’ do I need to release?”
6. “What do I need to believe in order to show up with peace instead of pressure?”

And one of my favorites when I’m feeling vulnerable:

“Jesus, show me how to love like You—truthfully, fully, and with grace.”
