Lives Being Restored
Stories from women walking with God through The Secret Place.
James from Galion
I found her writings very parallel with how the Lord was directing me. Durning these times, it is very important to get into the Secret place with God, to hear his voice. So, not be centered on what is going on in the world.
Tammy from Orrville
Waiting for Her Testimony
Bernice from Wooster
Gayla has a way with bringing the word to life in a way that helps you understand Gods Word!

From the Author
Books by Gayla
If you'd rather hold the words in your hands than take them on a screen, my books were written for you. Each one was born out of the same secret place this whole ministry was — and each is meant to walk with you long after the last page.

Hi, I'm Gayla
I'm a Christian writer and the founder of DivinelyDesigned60. I built this space because I lived the noise, the confusion, and the longing to know God for real — and I learned that the answer was always in the secret place with Him. Now I write devotionals, prayers, studies, and guided journeys to help other women find what I found: clarity, healing, and a real relationship with Jesus.
