reading plan focuses on the prayers offered to God in the narratives of Scripture. Each day we’ll read a narrative that includes a prayer from an individual or group. Their prayers vary in length, type, posture, purpose, and God’s response. The secondary passages explore how the rest of Scripture speaks to the themes demonstrated in the main reading.
While each account is different, every prayer recorded in Scripture teaches us about the unchanging God who invites us to speak to and hear from Him. These prayers model for us what it can look like to be in conversation with God. As you read, notice the posture and emotions present each day.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading Prayers in Scripture together, 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 in the comments.

Trusting that God WILL bring justice and it’s not up to me to do
Remembering that it is God to whom people will have to answer to. He already sees and knows what is going on. I am called to serve Christ and draw closer to Him, not bring justice upon people.
God is a deliverer. We have to have the trust and the faith that He is good and he wants good things for His people – but that doesn’t mean easy. Rather than acting in our humanity and wallowing in our perceived injustice, lean into Him and act out of love, remain in the moment/persecution/affliction etc and love from that place. He works all things together for the good of those while love Him.

When I see something that is wrong I can do something about it in a way that shows God’s love. Apathy can also be a way of sinning.
