BY She Reads Truth
Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
Christ calls His Church to herald the good news to each other, our communities, and the world.
As you reflect on Scripture today, take time today to pray for those who don’t yet know Christ as Savior. Share how you are praying for them along with your response to the reading.

I’m praying for our friends, Liz and Chris, who are coming to stay with us over 4th of July weekend. They are somewhat familiar with Christianity but don’t walk with Christ. I desire so much for them to know his peace and love. I’m praying for my husband, Josh, and for me to have boldness in speaking about Jesus while we host them in our home.

Be encouraged for He has overcome the world. I have heard several testimonies of the Holy Spirit on the move around the world. I pray daily for two people who do not know the Lord, that they would hear his voice and turn from their sin to follow His voice. I pray that all would hear His voice and turn from their sin, so He might heal this land as I know He can and wants to do.

God has given me a wonderful opportunity in a few weeks to be the chidren’s Bible lesson teacher at a Joni & Friends Family Retreat for families with disabilities. The verses in Romans 10 reminded me that there will be those who need to call on the Lord, who will believe on Him to be their strength and hope. I’m praying for open hearts and minds that will believe, trust and hope in the message of Christ.

I pray for my little community of young adults who are very disappointed with the church and angry with God. I pray the Lord would break down the walls they have built, allow their hearts to be softened and healed by our good and loving Father.

I pray for those who do violence in the name of th Lord. I pray that God will take their hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh; hearts that will know that our Lord is a God of love, not hate and that He is a
God of peace, not war. I pray for those who call themselves Christians but refuse to act in a way that follows the example of Jesus, but rather choose to believe the lies of the evil one. I pray that I can shine the light of God’s Truth and Love out to everyone I meet. -

Praying for my sister who is dying from cancer. Open her eyes to truly know You and to submit to Your Lordship over her life.

@Lanie– praise God! God is always confirming things for me with She Reads Truth, too. So often, He highlighted and repeats Scriptures I find here. Like the other day when I picked out the reading for my grandma’s funeral mass.
I am praying for my friends in the local music community who are seeking truth but don’t yet know Jesus. I go to open mics and often share a song I’ve written that includes Him. Not a worship song, per say, but a song that I use to sing to them about Him. It is such a joy to express my faith through song. I wrote a song called “Come, Follow Me” — and it’s not the most impressive to the ears, it’s very simple. I almost didn’t play it for that reason. But God used that song to speak to someone in the community :) I am thankful– our words have power.
The song lyrics I will share here —-
He came to Me, with something to prove.
Saying, “I’ve been good, what more should I do?”
I said you lack one thing, one thing you must do.
Sell your land, give to those who can’t.And I love you.
And I saw you.
And I know you.
Come, follow Me.I saw him there sitting in a booth.
Collecting change, counting what was due.
I said, “Hey man, what you got to lose?
Forget your change, got better things for you.”And I love you.
And I saw you.
And I know you.
Come, follow Me.My friend named Phil, came and said to you,
“We found the man, the king of Israel too.”
I said, “Hey there, I know you.
Under the fig tree, I saw you.”And I love you.
And I saw you.
And I know you.
Come, follow Me.The song I sing, I’m singing it to you.
Drop your things, come follow Me, too.
I know your thoughts and what you plan to do.
Still I sing, come follow Me, too.Cause I love you.
And I saw you.
And I know you.
Come, follow Me.
