Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
But those who trust in the LORD
will renew their strength;
they will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not become weary,
they will walk and not faint.
—Isaiah 40:31

Trusting in the Lord for rest and strength.
What a grace, what a gift. By myself, I can barely walk; but with the Lord, I fly! Lord, break me of the worrying habits I have allowed myself. Let me trust in You.
A promise made to those who trust in the Lord ❤️
Amen and praying for you bekah and for your husband and the rest of your family in Jesus name Amen

Hi sisters, I have been gone for a couple of days, I’ve been and still am at a Christian retreat of sorts — called Camino — I am on a break right now but I would like to share something that I have heard in my time here: Last night we did what they call “Stations of the Cross” at the last station — it was about the resurrection of Jesus Christ — we the group going through read out loud the following — “O, Jesus teach us to rest. Deliver us from thinking that everything depends upon our actions. Help us to be patient in trusting that God will bring about the completion of His creation through You. We love You, Jesus; fill us with Your peace.” — I thought of this study as I was reading this. God and Christ have been speaking to me this weekend and I am so glad I came.
You see I left Thursday but Thursday didn’t start out so well for me. When I woke up my nephew had called and texted me demanding that I take him to storage that day. When I told him I couldn’t he became very upset. I dealt with him and his texts for a half an hour, time I needed to finish getting ready. But since coming I have let go and let God.
Be blessed and rest in God’s and Christ’s arms.

Elaine, I’m so sorry that happened. Praying for the comfort of God to put your mind and heart at ease, and may His power and mercy bring justice and healing to what has been wronged.❤️
@Elaine Morgan praying for you! Betrayal is so hard and I pray you’ll get the strength to get through it. @Ashley Wilcox praying for dad and that he can make it out stronger than before. I pray the lord will bless everyone to come out stronger.
❤
Oh Kelly (NEO)! What a perfect picture you have given me/us for resting in the Lord & relying on the strength of the Holy Spirit. Thank you❤️. Tina, Rhonda, beautiful.
I’m praying in agreement with y’all for all the requests. I’ve had to be out & about all week & that is going to be true clear thru the weekend. I’m praying & asking for prayer to get to Monday to have a sabbath day of rest & catching up here. Thank you.
❤️
Good morning! I was reading the Enduring Word commentary online today. I wanted to read more about Psalm 16 that we read in our reading this week. My eyes aren’t what they used to be, so I was reading the commentary for Psalm 15! This ended up being so good though. The verse was David asking who can abide in God’s tabernacle. I read about how in the ancient culture the guest was totally taken care of and protected. We can experience that peace and protection from God! Not saying that we will never have problems, but His Presence goes there and is with us! (Definitely reading t for yourself, because I’m paraphrasing.) Also, read the commentary for Psalm 16. This had me reflecting on about Jesus in His agony. There is so much peace and hope that we have now though, because of His finished work. I hope you all get to read over there and leave you encouraged and hopeful.
@Elaine Morgan praying
Prayers for you all!
May I please ask for prayers for Jan. She was on the kidney transplant list, but they said that this isn’t an option anymore. Im also asking for prayers for a coworker’s mom, Ross’ lump, and Tom Cleery’s very serious stomach diagnosis. (My mom tried to explain, but I never heard of this condition before. He needs prayers!) Also, please pray for salvation for them all! Thank you all!
Elaine, sweet daughter of the most high, I hope you know and believe that you are forgiven for whatever your part in this situation was. We never forget when wrong has occurred, but forgiveness is an important step to healing. My mother used to tell me that the Devil attacks when you are at rest. So if you can’t sleep, read the word and pray, or play worship music to fill,your mind and allow rest.
We have had guests and I ended up behind in my studies. I’m caught up!! I’m back! Yay
SEARCHING – What you said yesterday was spot on. I too have friends that don’t want to hear about Christ. All we can do is keep living as God would have us live. Show them love and pray they see something in us they want. GOD
Renewed strength, soaring like eagles, running, not growing weary, not fainting – YES! I’ll take all of it!…as I trust Him, as I hope in the One who is able.
A blessed Saturday to you all!
Praying for forgiveness of others & yourself, Elaine Morgan.
Oh to love, trust and abide in Him. It’s a wonderful, challenging thing to have faith! And to truly rest in Jesus. But he carries us when we can’t pick ourselves up in traumatizing, hard times of affliction. He empowers us to gather our strength when we feel like we are depleted. When my pain wears me down, day after day- I give it to my Jesus, that can and will heal me. His word tells me all I need to know to put my hope and trust in him. I have experienced many, many times how his plan is perfect. We preach that all things will be okay, it will work out. But—For those WHO love him, and look TO him, and give themselves to him. THAT is the promise. Don’t leave that last sentence out. We are a bunch of messed up people that God is using for his greater good. That messed up picture turns over to be a beautiful tapestry of beauty.
Our story is for us to tell. To share. There are many hurting, wounded people out there that need the love of Jesus and the hope of rest that he gives. YOU are the one they need to hear from today. They need you to listen, and to give them the one true hope, that gives us peace. He fills us, and makes us whole. Let’s encourage the broken, the lost, the proud, the weary. Who is God showing you today that could use a word from you?! Don’t be too busy to miss it.
Have a great wkd She’s! I have had a fabulous week with my new small group for Chronic Pain starting, it went really well. And our women’s study bega that is on Elijah, by Priscilla Shirer. I can already tell it is going to be amazing! She has such a way to pump you up for the Lord! We are also gearing up at church to expand to 3 services again, which means God is moving and working in our region and bringing people to church!! The season is ripe for planting, and God is bringing in the harvest! I pray that our church stays humble, and that we touch people as a loving, come as your are-church. Not of perfect “church” people, but of a bunch of redeemed, repenting people depending on a heavenly Father, believing in his son and what he did on the cross for us, and giving us his Holy Spirit to be with us in our walk.
Prayers for all requests, and a special prayer for each of you!
Thank you for this visual, of an eagle resting on the current!
Praying for beautiful Sabbath rest for each one of you. May God bless you and keep you, may he make his face to shine upon you and give you his rest. Have a peaceful, rest-full weekend dear SHEs.
Trust. The possibilities are endless HE has planned for us.
Amen
Reward my faith, forgive my doubt Lord. In Jesus name, Amen
Thankful the Lord does renew our strength. His love is never ending.
ELAINE MORGAN – Betrayals are so painful, praying for you as you work through this situation. Praying God’s guidance, strength and wisdom for you – you are not alone. ❤️
TINA – Amen! ❤️
STEPHANIE BISHOP – thankful your friends are able to be there for this child. They are all blessed. Praying also for the birth parents in their pain of unimaginable loss.
MERCY ❤️

An eagle soars by fully extending his wings and “resting” on the current of the wind. May we rest in the wind that is Holy Spirit today.
ELAINE MORGAN – so sorry for the pain you are going through. Praying the Lord will bring you comfort as you move toward forgiveness.
I will try to stand on this promise today. I have trusted those over me and was lead astray. I was lied to and deceived by those in authority and those I trusted. As the truth has come out someone I truly love was hurt. I was forced to be a part of that and I’m struggling to forgive myself. Please pray for me to put these things in the proper prospective. I know God wants me to forgive them and myself but I’m really struggling. Can’t sleep through the night because I wake up and my mind fills up with these events and I lie there restless and weary.
To have renewed strength.. Day in day out;
To soar on wings like eagles.. The confidence to be who God me to be;
To run, this race called life, and not become weary, even in the storms of life;
To walk, the distance, and not faint..
To do ALL that and more..
I MUST TRUST IN THE LORD.
I MUST TRUST IN THE LORD.
I MUST TRUST IN THE LORD.
FULL STOP..
AMEN..
Happy Saturday dear hearts…❤
Amen, Father, teach us to wait on You in Jesus name Amen
