Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
During this reading plan, we will memorize Psalm 73:28. Ask a friend to memorize this verse with you over the next few weeks, and make it a priority to check in with one another as you commit the verse to memory. This week, focus on memorizing the first sentence.
But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
I have made the Lord GOD my refuge,
so I can tell about all you do.
—Psalm 73:28

Amanda, please find comfort in knowing you are loved and not alone..so many prayer warriors are covering you in prayer. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. “
As I wait for family to come over to celebrate my mom‘s 82nd birthday (two days early), I felt compelled to come here to SRT! @AMANDA NOBLE. I am joining our SRT family here to uplift you in prayer. Lifting you up to Jesus! And as I read through the comments which I hope you did as well, many of us here have been through some dark valleys. We understand. We are with you. We can relate. You are not alone. Amanda, YOU matter to GOD and to us.
@Amanda- We hear your heart and your hurt and sorrow..praying for a powerful word from the Lord to you, that in his love for you, that he is going to restore you. Beauty from your ashes and a testimony for others. Big hugs.
Amanda, here are two support groups for abuse, the second can be online. Websites are: Isurvive.com and Pandora’s Project. Please reach out to United Way for financial help. Remember He is walking with you.❤️
@Amanda Noble – praying for you and your family! God sees you through all your trials. I pray you feel that and I break you have a break through soon. God loves you through it all.
Good morning and Happy Sunday sweet She’s. The NIV version reads: But as for me, it is good to be near God…… It is good to be near God. I don’t want to be anywhere else BUT near God! Had a VERY late night talking to my daughter (1:44AM). Please pray for her. She’s feeling down since deciding to stay local for college (JC) as its more affordable. She’s an EXCELLENT student and pushes HARD. It hasn’t been easy. Please also pray for her relationship with Jesus! She knows she needs to draw near, pray, read His Word. I pray she would learn to prioritize as this is something she will need later in life. For now I would appreciate prayers for Alyssa. I know she loves Jesus!
Amanda, there is nothing I can say to take away your pain. Don’t be afraid to curl up, cry, and share your heart with God. He walks with you, even if you don’t feel it. I, too, have walked through the darkest valleys and continue to do so. I cling to the hope that is in Christ alone to get through every day. Remember, our mess is His message when we rest and depend upon Him. ❤️ I am praying for you, fellow sojourner!
Thank you ❤
AMANDA NOBLE – joining other sisters here in prayer for you. I remember when your friend died, and your life story is beyond heartbreaking. LORD! You see my sister in her heartbreak, in her financial need, in the distance she feels from You or You from her. I know, Lord, that you are right here, right now with us, and what a perfect study we are in to reinforce that truth. Be with Amanda today, Lord, in a way that comforts her heart, strengthens her faith and draws her closer to You. Guide her, Lord, give her wisdom, show her the next step on Your perfect path for her. ❤️❤️❤️

CEE GEE ❤️
Dear @Amanda Noble, my heart aches for you. I am so sorry for all that you have and are going through. But please be assured – it’s not because God doesn’t love or has abandoned you or is punishing you (all our sin is paid for and forgiven at the cross). It is because He wants His glory to shine through you…I can not imagine how hard it is for you right now, but God can. He is right there with you – holding your head above the waters, shielding you from the fire. Whether you feel it or not, you are His child – He loves you. He sees. He knows. Trust Him, even in the dark. I will be praying for you as I know all your other sisters here will be to. You are loved.❤️
Father God, Please take Amanda in Your arms. Please let her be assured of Your presence, Your love. Help her to see You have a plan, it may not be what she envisioned, but in the end will be so much better. Minister to her heart, comfort her. Please give her wisdom and direction and a good paying full time job. Let her drown out the lies of the evil one and hear Your voice alone. She is hurting, she is uncertain. Please be her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Shower her with Your love and with Your blessings. Let her know that Your presence is for her good. Encourage her I pray and send her dear sweet friends to minister to her. Thank You for hearing my prayer, answer speedily – according to Your will. In Jesus name.
Dear Amanda, that is a lot of trauma you have experienced. I pray some how you can get counseling to help process all the physical and emotional hurt. God hears you, His hand is there to reach out to. Do you have a church that maybe can help, especially for counseling. I don’t know where you live but reach out to your local United Way they can help and direct you to agencies for financial help. Sending prayers and hugs.
I tried counseling just before my friend died, my second appointment was the day after he passed. She said there was too much for her to unpack and I’d need to find someone else and hung up on me. We have an amazing church family, but I seem to be in constant chaos, and they can only do so much. Our church is little, and they only have so much in resouces.
I’m praying for you Amanda.
Good morning sisters. I am struggling. I pray, out of obedience, I read my Bible out of obedience. I help at church out of obedience. But my heart is broken. When I was 3 my dad gave his brother access to rape me, he then beat me for allowing it to happen, at 3. I accepted Jesus as my savior at 4. I was called to missions at 17 but turned my back on God and lived in the dark until 10 yrs ago whenI lost my 2 yr old son to a seizure, a year later moved to TX, thought I found healing, strength, and peace. I was given custody of my niece, and due to covid her mom found a loop hole and stole her back 6 years later.. 2 years after my niece went with her mom my best friend died of a heart attack, as my daughter and I rented from him we were essentially kicked out of our home. We lost our friend, his son (we lived like a family in seperate houses. There wasn’t a romantic relationship, but our lives were as intwined as any married family) we lost our family, our home, our garden, our chickens. Last year God made it possible to buy my first home. 3 months later I lost my job and had to take one that pays half what I was getting. I have 2 months to make up the payments or the mortgage company is going to forclose. I’m looking for another job, but nothing yet. My daughter is amazing and is helping as much as she can (19 and working 3 part-time jobs). I pray all day, not knowing how we’ll eat tomorrow, or make the electric payments, or pay for anything. I know that God is good, that God loves us, and that his plans are perfect, but my heart…. my heart is broken. I feel abandoned. That maybe I deserve this because I wasn’t obedient when I was young. Sometimes I ask “who is this God who could possibly love this mess, and if he does why? Why would he love me, and also why all this pain. I desperately want to sit on my Heavenly Fathers lap and cry at the injustice. But I find no comfort in prayer, in scriptures, I want to be His princess untarnished, and desperately loved as His child, but I can’t feel Him anymore… my head knows. My heart is broken.
Amanda N Lifting you up in prayer. God loves you and will never abandon you. Hold on though I know that can be so hard. You are His beloved child, carried in His arms. Hold on…
Thank you ❤
@AMANDA NOBLE Sweet friend. You are so dearly loved and God calls you His own. Have you heard of Mending the Soul? There are healing groups across the US and online. These groups are for healing from trauma and abuse. The founders were given a biblically and psychologically sound model for healing from God over 20 years ago and thousands have found healing through their resources and groups. Lord please let your Presence be fully known by Amanda today and always.
@ Amanda Noble I am sending you and your family all the prayers and love. I can relate to the disconnect from God as I am just now starting to mend my relationship with Him. When I turned my back on God I also felt like I was undeserving of His love and that He wouldn’t want me either. But much like all of these other women are saying, God does want you and He does love you. That is what makes His love and the relationship with Him so beautiful is that even when we feel like we’re a mess or undeserving or that no one will want us, He shows us and tells us that He does. No matter what. I know these words may do little to console you during this tough time, but know you are not alone, I am praying for you, and God will pull you through this hardship. Sending love, my friend ❤️
Praying for you! God loves you sooo much more than we can even comprehend! I have not been through what you have, but I used to really struggle with my identity in Christ and never knew if I was really saved for over about 8 years and felt like I was worthless to God and everyone around me. The books victory over the darkness by Neil Anderson really helped me
I’m joining all our sisters in praying for you! Feel free to email me. If there’s a way to help I will. ❤️ [email protected]
But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
Be with me Lord. Be my good.
Good Morning She’s
Happy Sunday, the day of the Lord to rest in his presence in a practical way. Resting; giving your mind freedom from anxiety and stress, worries and resentments, anger and hurts and replacing with God’s peace. Giving our busy over to praise and worship, prayer and meditation. Let us draw close to him today and he will draw close to us. Which makes me think of the song
Draw me close to you, never let me go
I lay it all down again, to hear you say i’m your friend
You are my desire…
You’re all I want
You’re all I ever needed…
I can’t think of the name, it is a couple decades old. Maybe by Chris Tomlin?
❤️ this weeks reading was so good. I’m loving this plan.
Amen
❤️
In reading all of Psalm 73, the memory verse packs a greater punch. The prosperity of the wicked will always be a temporary thing. It may seem as though God’s indifferent, but the day will come when they will “fall to ruin” and be “destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!”
Thank You, Lord that You are for me. Be “the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
Bless the Lord with abandon today.
