Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.

I will trust him and not be afraid.

Lord help me to trust in you and walk in faith ❤️
God has been my silver lining for so long, giving me continued strength and understanding, I am not perfect but the love of God and for God is.
for the lord god is my strength and my song and he has become my salvation
The Lord God is my strength, my song, and my salvation.
I will trust and will not be afraid ❤️
My God is so lovely. He is selfless, holy, mighty, relentless and all of the above. I give endless thanks to the one who created me in light, kindness and love. Thank you Jesus for being lord of my life!
I need to remember this verse when I start to spin in to anxiety. Amen!
Like a breath of fresh air! Amen!
keep studying and praying and praising
Can someone pray for me?
This is exactly the verse I needed!
Amen!
Needed some grace today
Rest in the Lord
Amen
Amen!
At almost 3am I needed this!
It’s so crazy how God works. Today, I missed my reading so when I remembered, I came straight to scripture. It was about grace. “Take this time to catch up on your reading.” I will do just that. Thank you Lord, for your grace and mercy. I am still here.
Get rest, it is needed ❤️
I love this because it makes me think of the peace and rest I experience whenever I have quiet time with Him.
Kati I know Jesus will help you in the middle of your waiting. Please know that your Heavenly Father is working in the middle of your waiting, putting all things in its place while you wait. God bless you
such a great reminder to rest in the Lord && in His steadfast ♡ for us! ✞
I will trust in the Lord always
Praying for peace and patience in waiting. His goodness covers all of us! ❤️
Trust God when you can’t trace Him!! To have faith you must trust God…. Walk around with expectation in your heart with out a plan B!
So my Pastor said this past Sunday, “ don’t project your human relationship of faith on your divine relationship with God.” ~Bishop Joseph Walker
Need a day like this!
I will trust in him ❤️❤️
❤️✝️

I trust in Him ❤️
Wow, I’m proud of you! I’m currently in a season of transition and change as well. Praying for His peace that surpasses all understand over you through this time.
Always ❤️❤️
I just moved to a new state by myself fresh out of grad school. Living on my own, working a full time job for the first time. A lot of transitions. Praying to maintain my sense of serenity & gratitude. I trust in His plan for me :)
Right there with you, Krysta.
We need to preach to ourselves this verse. “I will trust in the Lord”
I needed this.
Praying for you this morning Alex!
❤️
During these covid times it’s a good reminder that God is my strength
praying my landlord will stop being a bully and verbally abusive to me
Amen.
Praying for and seeking rest for my mind. So many anxious thoughts swirling around. Trying to take my thoughts captive and focus on God’s truths rather than the Enemy’s lies. Lord, I believe help my unbelief.
This reading plan has really stuck with me this week! It is amazing to me that Job immediately began praising God upon hearing his trouble. Not after weeks of spinning his wheels trying to work things out himself, not in the middle of the storm but immediately! WOW! I’d never noticed that part of his story before.
❤️
Grace days are so simple and SO powerful! Grateful for She Reads Truth this week ❤️
Such a lovely reminder of Gods love, I love and trust Him so much
So thankful for God’s grace!
There’s nothing like our Father
Aba Father will always be my provider and the one I can trust
Simple, but an important, reminder—much needed today✨
I am in the midst of medical school finals and reallllyy just wanted to go to bed and was contemplating not reading today’s section. Someone told me that Faith is something you constantly have to work on with dedication, so I decided to open my bible study because I trusted it was the best thing to do. Turns out it was Grace day, and God sent a resounding message of grace and loyalty. God is SO good.
♥️
God is. I will be. Trusting Him in every storm, Resting in Him and His Word.
❤️
Grace upon grace
Trust in the Lord ❤️
❤️
This verse is a straight reminder to just relax…literally relax.
Wow! I love that this message tells us to rest on the lords presence. With all the noise this past year; this year is the year of the local church, the year to rest, quiet the noise, and awaken!!
In the midst of a job search after graduating from PA school so definitely am needing the reminder to trust God and His good and perfect timing.
❤️
“I can do all things through God” ❤️
The Lord is my Salvation
❤️
I will trust the Lord!
Amen!
I will trust in the Lord. I will not be afraid.
❤️
❤️
I too struggle with this but what helps me is to keep reminding myself of my identity in Christ. I remind myself that God knows everything and that when He died on the cross for me, He did so knowing what mistakes I would make yet still chose to sacrifice His life for me. Hope this helps. God bless x
Shen, that is a beautiful reminder and also one God has put on my heart lately. I’ve been struggling to feel like I’m forgiven for the sins I’ve made AFTER I was saved. I strayed from God for a while there. He has been reminding me that I have His mercy, new every day. He knew what I’d do in my life, the “big sins” and died for me anyway. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. They’ve brought me confidence!
☀️
God bless
Rest❤
Amen!
I love this! ❤️
I will trust in The Lord!
It’s been such a struggle for me lately to forgive myself forgetting God forgave me and I have grace. How do you get Back to the basics, to the foundation when you’re so hung up on the past?
Amen!
Amen.
When you surrender you will discover the joy and peace of our LordJesus Christ. Part of our sinful fall is the need to control but God fights our battles and guides us to streams of living water trust in Him and surrender all and see what He can do in your life.
Amen!! :)
I love that this has that because sometimes you just need a break to just worship.
Amen
I am new in my journey of faith – I was brought up going to church by my parents, but after I was confirmed at 14, they let me make my own decisions about my faith. I fell away from the Lord over the years, but have recently had the strong desire to know Him better and to learn more about Him.
One thing that I am struggling with is letting go of the reins; I love to be in control, and I notice that I derive my sense of self from the validation of others. This is not how I want to live – it is exhausting. If anyone has struggled with anything similar, do you have any suggestions on how I can start to trust in the Lord and find my validation within Him?
Sorry for the long-winded post.
Hi, Lindsey! It is great to hear that you are rekindling your relationship with God-that alone is something be proud of! I, too, struggle with surrender and releasing control. I heard a speaker last fall that taught me a lot on this subject. Her name is Shannon Popkin, and she wrote a book called “Control Girl.” I highly recommend it!
Hi Lindsey! I struggle with seeking validation from others too- and I didn’t realize this for a long time. I agree- it’s so exhausting! This year due to a series of really tough events I was so broken and started to seek out what God said of me and have been working on believing that of myself. It’s so hard some days but it’s getting better! I’ll pray for you on your journey! Psalm 139:14 is a favorite verse of mine!
Hey Lindsey! Our story of faith is very similar! I grew up in Christian school and church but once I reached adulthood I, too, grew away from the Lord. At the beginning of this year I received the crushing news that I was only offered an alternate position to the college program I had worked towards for two years. For the first time in my life I didn’t feel like I had a plan and the feeling of being out of control was almost too much for me to bear. After weeks of anxiety I turned to God and realized He was what was missing in my life. Since spending time with Him and praying about everything daily I have felt His presence like never before. All of my seemingly broken plans have fallen perfectly into place for something else and trusting wholly in Him has given me a sense of peace I’ve never experienced. Through all of it Graves into Gardens by Elevation Worship has become one of my favorite songs and I recommend you listen to it! It is such a great reminder that God is always in control! He has a plan and nothing in this world can satisfy you like trusting in God.
Amen
Nicole I am praying for you. I struggle with fully surrendering to God in my life too. Listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. It may not be easy, but it will bring you peace <3
Thank you Diana.. I do pray for her daily, and do love her. I know I have messed up a lot. God isn’t done with her yet
Amen! This is a good reminder for us.
DIANA F – You spoke my thoughts so eloquently U can only add AMEN and pray that Nicole (all of us) be led to focus on our eternal victory more th the earthly desires we seek.
NANAK – The title to the song you referenced is “When We Walk with the Lord” and was stuff by John H Sammie and Daniel B Downer probably late 1800’s/early 1900’s. I declared that chorus in our small group a few months back. Thank you for sharing how it also blesses your heart!
LYNN PAINTER: My heart aches with you as for a time my daughter shut-down about spiritual things (though didn’t stop talking to us completely). I understand questioning yourself of whether you should have said anything. I thought it may be helpful to hear how the Lord walked me through it. In directing me to Matthew 10:34-39, it was made evident to me that discord can happen with our children as we express our faith and our concerns about their faith. While, yes, our children’s faith needs to be their own, that does not mean we are not to ever speak truth into them. The key is do we do so with gentleness and respect. If so, then we are doing what the Lord commands of us and that is our first priority. I hope this is helpful and I pray the Lord will soothe your mother’s aching heart. And I pray he will do a merciful work in your daughter’s as I now see him doing in my own.
NICOLE BURGOS: I’m grateful for your honest confession and vulnerability. I do pray for you:
Father God, I ask that in your mercy, you help Nicole to fully surrender to you. Our flesh battles against your Spirit in us. Remind Nicole that for those who are in Christ, we have a Spirit who is able to keep us from gratifying the desires of the flesh. May together we put on the armor of God for the battle is fierce and we need spiritual weapons, not earthly ones. Bless Nicole with your presence as her Refuge and Helper and Savior, O Lord. Amen.
You can’t miss when you “Trust and Obey” Thanks Nanak!♥️
Nanak, I was reminded of that beautiful hymn during this week’s readings as well. A mentor of mine calls instances like this “God winks”… Some would call them coincidences, but I love the way this expression reminds us of our Lord’s hand in our daily lives, in the big things and the small things. What a sweet encouragement your post was to me this Saturday morning! PS – I just had to hear the hymn after reading your comment. I stumbled upon “Trust & Obey” by Chelsea Moon & The Franz Brothers on Spotify. Beautiful!
What a lovely verse for this Saturday. Prayers for you, Nicole B. I think we all go through seasons of feeling stuck, and stuck is undoubtedly a miserable feeling. Just remember, God is with you, and we are for you! As I read your humble request for prayer, I am reminded of a book that really helped me in one of my own seasons of “stuck”: “Healing for Damaged Emotions” by David A. Seamands. Here’s a preview, if you’re interested! “Events in our lives, both good and bad, form rings in us like the rings in a tree. Each ring records memories that affect our feelings, our relationships, and our thoughts about God. In this classic work, David Seamands encourages us to live compassionately with ourselves as we allow the Holy Spirit to heal our past.” Sending virtual hugs.
Nanak, I love that old hymn! Thank you for reminding me of it.
I’ve been having struggles fully surrendering to the lord , not that i don’t know how to but I feel stuck. I need prayer .
I have felt stuck too Nichole. I am praying for you this very moment. There’s no better place to be than right here praying and seeking God even when we cannot see the outcome we have the assurance that God has it all under control. The serenity prayer has been so helpful.
This song has been going through my mind all week. Sorry, I don’t know who wrote it or when…
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Oh, Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
When we do trust Him, we are not afraid. So simple, yet so profound!
im a week behind since i just recieved my book. sooo excited to do this with you all! Sat. is definetly catch up day for me!
❤️
We often think other things will save us. “If only…” then life will be good and all will be well.
Not so.
God is our only salvation and our only source of peace.
All else is smoke and mirrors.
Amen
Amen!
❤️
