Here we are, at the end of our online journey
together. What a JOY it has been to get to know you and read your heart-felt
comments and emails!
Have you had any opportunities to find joy in an
unlikely place this week? Have you remembered to look for the remarkable in
life’s imperfections?
One thing to remember is this—regardless of our
circumstances, joy is often a matter of perspective, and it’s always a choice. We
can choose joy.
Dear brothers and sisters when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. (James 1:2)
I’m honored and beyond grateful that you have persevered in praying for yourself and made it this far. Congratulations! I encourage you to continuing pursuing God’s
presence—where you will always find His joy. Keep praying strong the rest of this
week regarding your joy, and know I am praying for with and for you!
It’s ironic that our last week together focuses
on joy, because I’m feeling so sad that our special time together has come to a
close. I hope you will still meet me here on my blog at least occasionally, and
that you will continue hanging out with me on the Prayers for a Woman’s Soul
FACEBOOK PAGE, where I post daily prayers and encouragement for you and hope to see your beautiful, smiling face!

Thank you, friends, for making this an awesome online study. Your participation through comments, emails, and FaceBook interaction has blessed my socks off.
May the
Lord bless and transform you as you continue the holy habit of praying for
yourself.
In Christ’s
Strong Love,

Thanks so much for this online study! God has reminded me all week that I can find joy even in the midst of the mundane pressures of this life. Too many e-mails and a full "to do" list are no reason to lose my joy. I was reminded again and again to set my eyes on Jesus and to stop getting caught up in my busyness. Again, thanks for sharing your special gifts with us! I have received much as I participated in your study.
Thank you, Lyne Brown, for your sweet words. I'm so glad you were part of the study. And I'm so grateful that HE redirects our hearts when we pray. To God be the glory!
Julie - each pair in our women's mentoring program is using Prayers for a Woman's Soul for their devotional. It's a perfect foundation to start their meetings. Thanks for writing it.
Thank you for your wisdom and leadership. Your devotional is awesome, the prayers are so real, so sincere and speak to my heart. I have learned so much. I am praying that God will continue to work in you as you lead more women to Him, as you help more women see how much God loves us. God Bless you.
Jane - I am SO honored that my book is being used in the mentoring program! May every woman know the Lord more as she prays!
Char - Thank you for your sweet words. I'm so glad you were part of our study! :-)
Thank you Julie for this Study! It has been so good to re-read your book with you. I found it when it first came out, and enjoyed it myself, but it was nicer with you and the other prayerful women : ) xo ~ CarolAnne ~
Hi CarolAnne, I'm so glad you were part of the study and enjoyed it the second time around! :-)
