💬 Gentle Encouragement

This week invites us to stay anchored in God’s faithfulness even as seasons change.

Some chapters will show closure. Others will show struggle.
But the Lord remains the same through both.

Pray as you read:
“Lord, keep my heart steady and teach me to walk faithfully with You.”

---

🌿 Weekly Overview

This week begins with the closing chapters of Joshua and then moves into the opening chapters of Judges. In Joshua 19–24, the land is allotted, Joshua gives his final charge, and the people are urged to choose whom they will serve. Then Judges 1–8 begins, and we quickly see the struggle that comes when God’s people drift from wholehearted obedience. Yet even there, God raises up deliverers in mercy.

In Acts 13–19, the gospel continues to spread through Paul’s missionary journeys. These chapters are full of preaching, opposition, miracles, conversions, and the steady advance of the message of Christ into new regions.

The Psalms (102–108) move through prayer, praise, remembrance, and confidence in God’s covenant love. They help steady the heart and keep our attention fixed on the Lord.

Warm greetings, dear sisters.

Thank you for studying Week 1 — Almighty with us. It was a blessing to reflect on God’s power and to be reminded that nothing is too hard for Him. It has truly been a timely study!  I pray that truth continues to steady our hearts this week as we continue to praise the Lord despite life's circumstances because we know that God is good.

How to Use This Study

This study is meant to help you spend meaningful time with God, not to feel heavy or burdensome. You are welcome to use it in the way that best fits your schedule and season.

You may choose to follow the suggested weekly flow and move through it little by little during the week. You may begin on another day if Sunday or Monday does not work well for you. Or, if you prefer, you may set aside about an hour and do the full study in one sitting.

The day breakdown is simply there to give structure and make the study feel more manageable. Please feel free to use it in the way that helps you draw near to the Lord most sincerely.

You may also wish to consider setting aside one day each week to fast, as you are able, and use that week’s PROMPTS study as your guide during your time with the Lord. This is completely optional, but it can be a beautiful way to slow down, focus your heart, meditate on His Word, and praise Him more intentionally.

Whether you spread it out through the week, complete it in one sitting, or use it during a fast day, let this study serve as a guide to help you know God more, honour Him more, and praise Him more personally.

Take your time with each section. There is no need to rush. Let each truth lead you into praise, prayer, and reflection.

Warm greetings, dear sisters.

Welcome to the beginning of our A–Z Praises to God journey. I am so glad you are here.

As we step into this first week together, my prayer is that this will not simply be another study, but a meaningful time of drawing closer to the Lord—learning who He is and responding to Him in praise.

We begin with A — Almighty—a powerful reminder that nothing is too hard for God. Whatever you may be carrying, facing, or wondering about, He is able. (What a timely reminder.)

As you move through this week, take your time. There is no pressure to do everything perfectly. Come with an open heart, and allow the Lord to meet you where you are.

Whether you follow the suggested flow, complete it in one sitting, or return to it throughout the week, may this be a time of refreshing, strengthening, and deepening your relationship with Him.

Let us begin.

In this moment of human impossibility, God reveals Himself as El Shaddai—God Almighty, reaffirming His covenant and promising what only divine power can accomplish.

• God reveals Himself in the middle of impossibility
• His name speaks directly to Abraham’s situation
• His power is connected to His promises

I praise You because You are greater than every challenge I face, and I can rest in Your power.
You are more than enough in every area of my life.”

Where do you need God’s power in your life today?
Place that situation in His hands.

You may pray:
“Lord, I trust You with ________. I place it in Your hands because You are Almighty.”

---

Look for this today:
Where do you see God’s power at work—big or small?

---

Closing Prayer (Optional):
Lord, help me to trust Your power and rest in Your promises. Strengthen my faith where I feel weak, and teach me to depend on You in all things. Amen.

Continue tomorrow, God willing.

March 22 Bible Reading and Proverbs Reflections: Listening to God with Wisdom

 

Fasting Week 1 — Listening to God with Wisdom

Warm greetings, dear sisters, and thank you for your participation last week. It was a blessing to journey together, and I pray the Lord continues to deepen His work in each of our hearts.

Women of Wisdom, as you move through this fasting week, remember that the goal is not simply to finish readings or endure hunger. The invitation is deeper: to become more teachable, more attentive, more obedient, and more tender toward the voice of God. Our listening theme beautifully reminds us that wisdom grows where hearts stay humble, responsive, and watchful before the Lord.

Take this week one day at a time. Resist the urge to rush. Let Deuteronomy call you to wholehearted obedience, let John draw you close to Jesus, and let the Psalms teach your heart how to pray in every condition. And seriously meditate on the daily Proverbs verse(s) shared.

This week’s journey takes us through Deuteronomy 10–23, where Moses calls God’s people to love and obey Him wholeheartedly; John 13–19, where Jesus loves, serves, prays, suffers, and gives Himself for us; and Psalms 81–87, which help shape our prayers and posture before the Lord.

📖 Day 81 — March 22

Reading: Deut. 10–11 | John 13 | Psalm 81
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 1:5

Today’s Old Testament reading calls us to fear the Lord, love Him, and serve Him with all our heart. In John 13, Jesus washes the disciples’ feet and shows us that true greatness is clothed in humility. Psalm 81 reminds us that God longs for His people to listen to Him and walk in His ways.

Listening with wisdom:
“Let the wise hear and increase in learning…” (Prov. 1:5)

As the fast begins, ask the Lord for a teachable heart. Do not enter these days trying to prove strength. Enter them ready to listen.

👉 Pause here for today. Let the Lord speak before moving on to tomorrow’s reading.

💬 Before you go, share one word or short thought in the WhatsApp chat that could encourage the group as we begin this fast together.

---

📖 Day 82 — March 23

Reading: Deut. 12–13 | John 14 | Psalm 82
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 2:1–2

In Deuteronomy, God’s people are taught to worship Him rightly and avoid competing voices. In John 14, Jesus comforts troubled hearts and reminds us that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Psalm 82 reminds us that God sees injustice and calls for righteousness.

Listening with wisdom:
“Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding.” (Prov. 2:2)

Fasting helps quiet the inner noise. Let today be a day to slow down, listen carefully, and lean in for understanding.

👉 Pause here for today. Sit with what you have read, and come back tomorrow, God willing.

💬 Before you go, post a short Scripture or phrase in the WhatsApp chat that could strengthen the group today.

---

📖 Day 83 — March 24

Reading: Deut. 14–15 | John 15 | Psalm 83
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 3:5

Deuteronomy points us toward holy and compassionate living. John 15 calls us to abide in Christ, remain in His love, and bear fruit that lasts. Psalm 83 is a prayer rising from pressure and opposition.

Listening with wisdom:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Prov. 3:5)

As you fast, do not only hear words—yield your understanding to God. Abiding is not rushing. It is staying near enough to hear and trust Him.

👉 Pause here for today. Let the Word settle deeply before reading ahead.

💬 Before you go, share a brief from-the-heart thought in the WhatsApp chat that may encourage the ladies as we continue.

---

📖 Day 84 — March 25

Reading: Deut. 16–17 | John 16 | Psalm 84
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 4:20

These chapters in Deuteronomy emphasize justice, leadership, and living rightly before God. John 16 reminds us that sorrow is not the end and that the Spirit will guide us into truth. Psalm 84 stirs longing for God’s presence and the beauty of dwelling near Him.

Listening with wisdom:
“My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.” (Prov. 4:20)

Fasting creates room to listen beneath the surface. Ask God to help you hear not just information, but His direction, His timing, and His heart.

👉 Pause here for today. Linger in His presence and continue tomorrow, God willing.

💬 Before you go, leave a line of encouragement in the WhatsApp chat for the group—something that helps us keep listening well.

---

📖 Day 85 — March 26

Reading: Deut. 18–19 | John 17 | Psalm 85
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 8:34

Deuteronomy speaks about listening carefully to God’s appointed word and walking in justice. John 17 lets us overhear Jesus praying for His disciples and for all who would believe. Psalm 85 is a prayer for revival, mercy, and restored joy.

Listening with wisdom:
“Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts.” (Prov. 8:34)

What a picture for fasting: waiting, watching, listening, expecting. Position your heart daily before the Lord.

👉 Pause here for today. Carry this word prayerfully through the day.

💬 Before you go, post a verse, quote, or simple reminder in the WhatsApp chat that could lift the hearts of the group today.

---

📖 Day 86 — March 27

Reading: Deut. 20–21 | John 18 | Psalm 86
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 10:17

In Deuteronomy, God instructs His people how to walk faithfully in difficult and weighty matters. John 18 brings us into the betrayal, arrest, and trial of Jesus. Psalm 86 is the cry of one who knows they need God’s mercy and help.

Listening with wisdom:
“He is on the path of life who heeds instruction…” (Prov. 10:17)

Fasting is not only about denying appetite; it is about receiving instruction. Let today be a day of surrender, where correction is welcomed and obedience is embraced.

👉 Pause here for today. Let obedience take root before moving ahead.

💬 Before you go, share a short word in the WhatsApp chat that could help strengthen the group to stay faithful in both Scripture and fasting.

---

📖 Day 87 — March 28

Reading: Deut. 22–23 | John 19 | Psalm 87
Proverbs Focus: Proverbs 12:15

Deuteronomy continues to shape God’s people in practical holiness. John 19 brings us to the cross, where the love of Christ is displayed in full. Psalm 87 speaks of Zion, the city of God, and the joy of belonging to Him.

Listening with wisdom:
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise person listens to counsel.” (Prov. 12:15)

At the cross, we do not cling to our own way. We yield to God’s wisdom, God’s salvation, and God’s Son.

👉 Pause before posting below or on the chat.  Let the cross speak to you.

💬 Before you go, leave one closing encouragement in the WhatsApp chat for the group from your heart as we end this week together.
