Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Each Saturday we’ll turn from the tragedy of Judges to the hope of the gospel in Psalm 32, a psalm about joy and forgiveness.
How joyful is the one
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered!
How joyful is a person whom
the LORD does not charge with iniquity
and in whose spirit is no deceit!
—Psalm 32:1–2

Sharon prayers for safe travels and enjoy TN
Happy birthday, Kimberly Z!!!! Hope it is very blessed :)
Thank you ladies so much for your prayers and personal stories… I love learning about you all. :) it is beautiful to hear how God has healed relationships with parents and others who have lost animals.
I appreciate this community so much. Love you all!! ❤️
MICHELLE PATIRE- I’m sorry for the situation you find yourself in with your parents. It must be hard to feel you are not emotionally safe while you live with them. I pray that God will give you protection from the negativity and threats, and that His love, living in you will be shining through for your parents to see.
SHARON, JERSEY GIRL – I pray that your trip goes well and that you have a happy time of renewal with your friend. Praying for Gods stillness in you when you fly home. Airports can be confusing, but God is with you every step of the way.
Michelle Patire- praying for you and your family situation. So good to be back here with you all.
Welcome Stori, to this gathering of loving Christ filled women. They are a treasure.
Yes! It is amazing how God puts his correct word in front of us. I have taken these moments as a time to remember to pray for Israel
Amen. Such a great scripture of comfort, thankful to the Lord for His grace in my heart.
Good morning sweet sisters! I am praying for all of your needs every day! Today I am praying specifically for:
KIMBERLY Z—Happy Birthday!!!
TAMI C—struggles in your marriage. May God soften your heart toward your husband.
RHONDA J—your neck pain.
GRAMIESUE—Steve’s health and you as you homeschool the grands. You go girl!
MARI V—safe travels for college visit.
MICHELLE PATIRE—comfort for your heart over the loss of your precious pup and healing for your home situation.
SHARON, JERSEY GIRL—safe travels and peace over the anxiety traveling alone brings.
STORI RUHTER—Welcome!!
Thank you all for your continued prayers!
Have a great weekend!
Has anyone else noticed the number of times Israel and Gaza have been mentioned in this week’s readings? such uncanny timing for this study with everything happening in the East right now. Praying for all lives and innocent civilians caught in cross fire.
Praising God for His love and grace! I am blessed to be adopted into His family!
Praying for Sharon, Michelle, Rhonda, and all you other She’s. Pray you rest in God’s grace on our grace day.
@Michele P – I should also follow up and share this important piece also, being on the otherside of all that hurt. The Good Lord has placed forgiveness in my heart for my mom, as I have prayed for, even when I didn’t know if it was possible. Now as I sit here planning some birthday dinner ideas coming up, there isn’t anyone else that I’d want to spend dinner with besides my husband, kids and my mom. God’s grace, love and power is SO GOOD. I cannot explain it.
@ Stori Ruhter – welcome!! So good to have you with us!
@ Michelle P ~ I have been in a similar situation, not living with my parents but emotional abuse from my mom, who also sowed seeds of bitterness into my father about me. He passed away not speaking to me, with his last words being extremely hateful and hurtful towards me. But God, being with me, allowed my last words to be, I love you, Dad. Despite his hatred, God showed up. It’s taken me years to be able to speak about this without shedding a tear. So slightly different scenario, but I understand your pain ❤️ I am here if you’d ever like to chat! Stay close to God’s word and stay rooted in that to guide your heart.
@Sharon Jersey Girl – prayers laying over you, my sister!
As I continue to check back throughout the day, I continue to lift all up in prayer.
Have a wonderful Grace day, all. Xo
First post, though I’ve been reading yours and sharing in your revelations and wisdom, joys and struggles. @Michelle Patire, I was moved to write after I read about your grief over the loss of your dog. So sorry. Dogs are such precious members of our family. And today I read about your difficult home situation, so I can see that the loss of your dog’s unconditional love is made more difficult. We know animals are in heaven, because we read in scripture about Jesus riding on a horse. Also, I have read accounts of young children who have died and entered heaven but then returned to earth. They hadn’t known any loved ones who died and could greet them there. Instead, beloved pets have been there to welcome them. I hope that encourages you, and my prayers will be with you for your relationship with your parents.

Praise God for His gift of salvation!
He forgives even though I don’t deserve it. And that make my heart glad and grateful. I’m up 15 minutes earlier. No sleeping in this Saturday. I would appreciate prayers as we travel to Santa Clara University which, as of right now, is less than an hour and a half of a drive. During the week it takes almost 3 hours because of traffic. I don’t want like driving to the bay area, so prayers are appreciated for safe travels to and from. I mentioned yesterday my daughter wants to visit this University.
Maternity*** lol
Hello Shes:
I also have a prayer request. Can you please pray for me and my parents? God has blessed me so much here, but it is hard to heal the wounds inflicted by them. There is a constant alarm bell in my head whenever my mom walks in the room. Any time we have an argument, she threatens me and tells me to move out. My dad can be so passive emotionally (and honestly, I still don’t think he’s saved in his late sixties…) that sometimes, it feels like I don’t have a dad. You know what I mean? I’m almost 31 years old and this would be okay, but I live with them as most of you know, this is where God has placed me. It is hard to live with people you don’t feel emotionally safe with and lately there have been fights. I know God put me here. Please pray for my healing and for their hearts to soften towards me. My mom said some awful things about me to my dad and is sowing seeds of bitterness. I am trying to be forgiving, but it is hard. My Christian therapist is still on maturity leave.
Thank you, Shes. I pray you have safe and beautiful travels, @Sharon JG. <3
So glad for the truth in those beautiful verses after the hard study this week.
TINA, echoing your beautiful prayer! Thank you.
SHARON, JERSEY GIRL, sending up an extra prayer for your travel time today. I feel just like you when I am ‘on my own’ for the same reasons. Remember, you are not truly alone; “I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” Psalm 16:8. I know you know that but … Just focus on the friend time ahead and the beauty of TN that awaits! ❤
KELLY NEO – Ditto!
@Sharon- Prayers! I know the feeling. I usually just follow my hubs through airports and what not. Last time I went to Atlanta (!!) myself! yikes! You have to take trams to your terminals and to baggage…crazy! I was scared, lol!
Foster Mama- Always good to see you! Prayers and blessings for them!
GM, Happy Saturday!
@Kelly, thank you, I started to list those same 5 names last night, but then hesitated, so glad we are all thinking of them!!
@Stori- Welcome! I never knew how my life would change plugging into SRT each morning, and that was over 8 years ago! God’s word never returns void!
Thank you for the prayers, keep them coming, it is stiff and hard to move my head still! I have group this morning, so hoping it loosens. This book Free of Me we are reading is so good, highly recommend it! Leads to great discussion in a group!
@Kimberly Z- Happy Birthday!! Lots of love!
@Michelle P- I am sorry for the loss of your beloved doggie.
Blanketing you in prayer, @SHARON, JERSEY GIRL…May it be a time of great and unexpected blessing.
Praying today for my Jewish friend who’s son is getting married here today; may each of the attendants feel the joy of this day, even as they carry their missing and deceased loved ones in their hearts.
Dear Tina, I rarely make a comment but my heart tells me I should. I have been part of this community for several years now. Tina, your comments have been so inspiring, helpful and so very often just what I need. I can’t thank you enough for your wisdom, loving heart and at times your humor! You are a treasure to this wonderful community!
Have a blessed day sisters!
Good morning ladies! My transgression is forgiven – my sins are covered – Hallelujah!! What a great way to start the morning, with this beautiful reminder.
PRAYER REQUEST — I’ll be on my way to the airport soon to visit a friend in TN. This is my first time traveling alone in a long time. My husband and I do everything together!! Please pray that I will not have anxiety or a panic attack (part of my past). I know God is there with me, but I get anxious being in a strange place, not knowing anyone, far from home. I need to be “blanketed” in prayer. Your prayers are much appreciated!!
Have a blessed weekend my dear sisters!
Thank you, Jesus!
STORI RUHTER – welcome!
RHONDA J – praying you are better today
MARI V – safe travels
GRAMSIESUE – lifting up Steve (& you) asking for peace of mind
TAYLOR – did Wendy find a new car?
Missing DOROTHY, LEHUA K, SARA D, VICTORIA E, CHURCHMOUSE, JENNIFER LOVES JESUS, ANGIE ❤️
Amen!! ❤️
Indeed, how joyful and blessed am I to know my transgressions are forgiven, and my sins covered.
Oh how Blessed, indeed, joyful am i because the Lord does not count my sins against me, for in my spirit is no deceit..
Praying to you Lord God, with open arms, in thanks for your love and grace, for the gift of YOU as my hiding place, for your protection from my troubles and surrounding me with songs of deliverance..
Teach me Lord God in the way I should go, counsel me, and, Lord, i pray you watch over me in all I do and say.
Lord, I trust in you. Thank you for your unfailing love.
Rejoicing in You, Lord God, and absolutely glad, you hold my heart..
I am singing Lord God.. singing.
AMEN.
Happy Saturday, my loves, wrapped in hugs and prayers ❤️
Beautiful. Thank you… this is my first time reading with the community and I started the subscription in November. I think this is exactly what I need in my life.
