Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I am so grateful for all of you wonderful women. Thank you for the prayers for my son. Unfortunately we had to take him to the ER, but the doctors worked proactively to get him an oral steroid and so far he has started feeling better. Definitely has croup cough and is not at 100% but I am grateful God worked through the doctors to get my son what he needed so quickly and without hesitation. Please keep praying that God will keep him on a path to a speedy recovery from this viral infection. I am praying for all of you that God work in your lives and provide you with what you all need too ❤️❤️
Good to hear things are moving in the right direction for your son
Blessings and peace if you are an old dog (like me and SEARCHING), or if you are on the SRT tech team… we are learning.
Be blessed today, everyone! ❤️
Good Morning She’s!
I have been so tired yesterday and today, probably from the elation I had all this past week! It really was a euphoric feeling basking in the Glory of God in SO many ways! God was showing up all over the places in my life and others!
I did want to share that we had an all time high of 15 ladies coming to jail ministry! We had 3 of us volunteers which made it so beautiful when we sang “Same God!” Isn’t it amazing that He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We don’t have to wonder(or wander!), we don’t have to hunt and search, we don’t have to fear..He IS here, with us each day, we just need to call on the name of Jesus!! When we fail, He is good to forgive us! What a astounding truth! Hope you all have a good wkd!!
@Sarah- crossing my fingers in prayer, that this could be the wkd your journey begins!! But remember marriage is a tough, tough journey…so don’t wish for it too soon. (joking, not joking!) Love ya girl!
So thankful that He is with us and forgives us! I can’t get through 1 day without His help!
I Can’t Even Stand Without You Holding My Hand –
I thought number one would surely be me
I thought I could be what I wanted to be
I thought I could build on life’s sinking sand
But now I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
I thought I could do a lot on my own
I thought I could make it all day long
I thought of myself as a mighty big man
But Lord I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
Oh Lord, I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
The mountains too high and the valleys too wide
Down on my knees that’s where I learned to stand
Oh Lord, I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
I think I’ll make Jesus my all and all
And if I’m in trouble on his name I’ll call
If I didn’t trust him I’d be less of a man
‘Cause Lord I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
Oh Lord, I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
The mountains too high and the valleys too wide
Down on my knees that’s where I learned to stand
‘Cause Lord I can’t even walk without you holding my hand
Oh Lord, I can’t even walk without you holding my hand

SEARCHING, JULIA C, KELLY NEO – AMEN ❤
Thank you for reminding me of this song! I love it and it really fits the place in life that I am in right now! You always mention great music! ❤️
I was wondering the same thing yesterday, if this was a new format. I was a little confused. So I came to the app which still set up the same. Happy Saturday, sweet She’s! I know that confessing can be hard, but once we do, once “I” do, it’s such a relief! Even if it’s uncomfortable, it’s still a huge relief. And our Jesus STILL loves us. His love will never change.
God has been working on my heart this week. Sometimes painful, but oh so needed. He is so good! Sending prayers for all of you this morning.
Hugs and blessings too. ❤️
Love to you GrammsieSue…keep pushing through!!
Hang it there, Gramiesue! I feel you, sister! ❤️. Did you a gym for Steve?
It’s the confession, admitting, we sinned that gets us back in right relationship with God. I’m so thankful for the Holy Spirit’s gentle nudge that something isn’t right. That’s when I just ask the Lord to search my heart and show me any sinful way in be me. He always answers. Then I can do my part, confessing! God is so good! He isn’t going to leave us where we are. He will keep reaching, teaching, correcting, loving us in our walk. Just like we do with our children! This verse came up today in my Bible reading today. I think it goes well with our verse. ”Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.“
1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV

Praying for all of you!
Good morning ladies, happy Saturday! Praying you all have a restful day.
Wanted to share some of what the Lord is teaching me…I am trying to balance being so thankful for where I am at (with my job that I enjoy, because that was an answered prayer), while having this longing for a godly relationship. I think what has been the hardest on the weekends is the unmet expectation that my friend will ask me out…last weekend on Sunday was hard. I am starting to feel it creep back in again, but I want to make this weekend different. I have to prepare myself for if he doesn’t ask me out, remind myself that God is in control and he hears me, and that he will get me through each day. In the meantime, I want to think more highly of others, and think of how I can serve them, rather than what they can give me. I know service and sacrifice is a BIG part of marriage. I selfishly want something to celebrate for myself, after having celebrated with my friends who have gotten married or had kids…But I want to still celebrate well and be a good friend. I want to look back on singleness leaving it all on “the field”. Praying the Lord would work on that in me. He is with me. I can trust him.
Dear, Dear Sarah D.
Annie F. Downs, a friend of SRT, has an podcast & is inviting listeners into a new series she describes as follows: “If you AREN’T in Single Purpose League, but you want to be and you’re single…listen. Now is the time to join! “Single Purpose League Summer” is going to be the best and we’re starting it off with this book club! Your invitation to join is only open until Friday, May 10th and then we’re spending the summer really getting into a discussion”.
Maybe, just maybe, joining this endeavor with like-minded, Godly women, might be affirming, united in the waiting.
Walk in Light & Love, sister She.
Good morning Ladies,
I’m trying to adjust to the new look. I’ve tried your trick Kelly NEO, but I only got so far on yesterday’s comments before I could no longer scroll and now I can only see the comment after the leave a reply. I do hope this is a temporary glitch as I gain so much from all of you and learn how to pray for you all.
I do pray everyone has a great weekend with blessings.
♥️
This verse brings such peace!! For I have been sinning a lot lately – with my mouth. Things at work haven’t been so great and I’ve done a lot of complaining and grumbling and talking about people behind their back. I’d love to say I’m mature enough to not do that any more, but here I am. In need of cleansing, in need of forgiveness. Father, I confess to you that I have had a terrible attitude and have sinned against You and some co-workers. Please forgive me and wash me clean. Thank You for Your forgiveness and cleansing power. Make me new inside and put a right spirit within me.
Amen!
The Lord is lavish in His forgiveness when we confess. Cleansing my sinful heart and mind from the unrighteousness that is the root of the sin, which I may not even realize I need to confess

Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is in me, bless His holy name. (Psalm 103:1)
@Molly R – praying for you, your family and the situation on your farm.
Happy Saturday sweet she’s. ❤️
Ahhh, the confession comes first. The hard part is many times admitting my sin, that it was in fact sin – no matter how I tried to spin it, dress it up, justify it – still sin. BUT, when I lay all that down and confess, He – our awesome, faithful, righteous God – forgives and cleanses us!!! Whooping, KELLY (NEO) ❤️
MOLLY R – no doubt that was a difficult decision. praying for the right livestock dog for your family. I had friends last year that had to return a dog that they had for 2 or 3 years after it randomly bit their children, hard but necessary.
CEE GEE – ❤️
LYNNE FROM AL, NANCY S, GRAMSIESUE, LINDA IN NC – praying sisters, for you and your husbands, for the Lord’s peace, strength, comfort and guidance.
Praise be to God❣️

1 John 1:8-10 MSG
“If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.”
———————————–
Dear Father,
Nothing can be hidden from You. You know and see all. We only fool ourselves if we think that we don’t sin.
Take away our pride, Lord. Show us who we really are: sinners, but saved by Your amazing grace.
May we confess our sins, trusting in Your faithfulness and righteousness.
In Jesus’ name,
AMEN.
Amen
Is this a new format or have I stumbled on the ‘A’ list version of the study..?
Is this verse..
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
As simple as it sounds.. If we confess our sins.. if we come clean.. if we tell the truth.. hold up our hands to things we done that were/are wrong, sinful, we will be forgiven our sins and be cleansed of our unrighteousness by our Faithful and Righteous Father God.
Reading the verses before, we need to be in fellowship, relationship with God, and through that relationship, we are covered by the blood of Jesus, His son, which purifies us of our sins, of our wrongdoing.
This is such a gift..
The next verse then tells us that If we think or say we have not sinned, though we have (it’s our default), we do not have His Word, ie we are not truly in relationship with God..
Thank you Father God, that you keep your promise and do whst is right, and you forgive us our sins, and purify us from all our wrongdoings through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Thank you Lord God, Thank you..
Confessing my sins as they come to mind, Lord God, knowing You, Lord, are the light in my darkness.. prayerful in the name of Jesus, Amen..
Happy Saturday, covered in love and prayers dear hearts..❤️
Amen and amen, dear Tina! Such a gift! ❤️
TINA ❤️ sweet sister, you are always A list ❣️ I’m struggling with the new format and have a love/don’t like relationship with it for now. Old dog, new trick – I’ll adjust after a while. Love you!
Amen! You always put it so eloquently!
