Hi Reader,

Good morning and happy Wednesday! I am sometimes as overwhelmed as you, so I apologize that this is late.
Here’s your Morning Battle Charge! This is how we started our week in the PRAYING Sistas Community. Are you doing activities that are getting you nowhere?

✨ Monday Battle Charge

Scripture Focus:
And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.”

— Mark 6:31 (NKJV)

✨ Inside the PRAYING Sistas Community This Week

Every week, we grow together through purpose, prayer, accountability, and sisterhood. Here’s what our members are doing this week:

Week 5: Rest

There is a reason God built rest into creation before He ever gave humanity a to-do list. In a culture that celebrates busyness, productivity, and constant motion, rest can feel unnecessary—even irresponsible. Yet throughout Scripture, we see that rest is not a reward for finishing everything. It is a gift from God that helps us remember that He is the source of our strength, wisdom, and provision.

That is why every fifth Sunday and during the first week of each month, we intentionally pause our EmpowHER calls and Battle Charges. This is not because the work is unimportant. It is because rest is important. Just as muscles grow during recovery and fields become fruitful after lying fallow, our minds, bodies, and spirits need time to recharge. Rest creates space to reflect, listen, heal, and reconnect with God without the pressure of another meeting, lesson, or assignment.

My prayer for you during these pauses is that you resist the urge to immediately fill the space with more activity. Take a walk. Read your Bible slowly. Spend time with people you love. Sit quietly with the Lord. Trust that the same God who meets us in the work also meets us in the stillness. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest and allow Him to restore our souls.

If you struggle to rest without feeling guilty, our community helps you value YOU again. Book a FREE strategy session below.

It's the 5th Sunday, so there is no EmpowHER call this coming week.

WE have a YouTube channel where you can get charges more often if you are interested.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:

🌸 Looking for a little extra encouragement during the week?

Join our FREE Sista Circle—a private space where women come together to share prayer requests, celebrate testimonies, and connect through our weekly Thursday Praise & Prayer livestream.

You don't have to carry life's burdens alone. We'd love to pray with you.

👉 Join the Sista Circle today!

PS: What if this November could become the weekend that resets your spirit, restores your joy, and surrounds you with the kind of sisterhood many women don’t realize they’ve been missing? For the first time, we are opening a limited opportunity for non-members to join the P.R.A.Y.I.N.G Sistas Community retreat, November 5–8, for a full weekend of connection, encouragement, growth, and unforgettable moments.

The investment is $700 for non-members, and we were given a deadline to finalize the numbers, which is not until the fall. So if you are interested, let us know by August 1st.

If you have been watching from a distance and wondering what it would be like to experience this community in person, this may be your moment. Space will be limited.

PRAYING Sistas

I'm an author, speaker, YouTube podcaster, and founder and facilitator of PRAYING Sistas, a community for women 30+ who are faith-filled and high-achieving on paper, but overwhelmed in real life. Women who feel stuck between their expectations and their reality. Maybe life, marriage, motherhood, career, ministry, finances, purpose, or even your walk with God does not look the way you thought it would by now. At PRAYING Sistas, we believe women need more than motivation. We need healing, growth, accountability, prayer, and real sisterhood. You do not have to pretend here. You do not have to stay stuck. And you do not have to carry it alone.
