Next thing is that we have our book, our 31 day devotional which is called out of the Wilderness 31 devotions to walk with God through your hardest seasons. The book has just been really, really one of the most beautiful parts of all of this for Ari and I because your guys responses to the book, the way that you guys have encountered Jesus through the devotional, how every single person it seems have feel, felt so seen and loved and and spoken to through the devotional means the world to us. So I would really encourage you guys to get your copy@girlsgone Bible.com book and last but definitely not least, you guys know that we are doing GGB plus, which is our exclusive subscription based platform where Ari and I get to go and have conversations that we don't have anywhere else.

And so yeah, you guys can go to GirlsGone Bible.com/ and subscribe. We really want to see you on GGB Plus. All right guys, let's talk about a subject that seems like the world wants us to ignore. Our hormones. Hormone health affects everything. Our mood, energy, sleep, skin, even how clear headed we feel. When they're balanced, you feel like yourself, but when they're off, it's brain fog, breakouts, fatigue, mood swings, the works.

Someone said, I'm struggling to pray. I'm a mom of three. I feel so distracted all day long. And I just want to say we have so much compassion and love for moms. Ari and I are not moms. So we. It's like, obviously not the easiest for us to speak on something we don't have experience in, but I can only imagine what it's like to try and even without children and without being married, the just, like, what it takes to still your mind and still your heart and zero in and focus on Jesus and on prayer when you don't have children. I can't even imagine what moms go through to try to get still and try to get focused when you have children who, like, depend on you and who you're their life source and, like, they need you every second. So to even, like, disconnect from that for a second. So I think what I would say is I would remind you of the scripture that encourages to pray without seizing and that, like, prayer can be just a continual thing that you do, and it doesn't need to be like, of course I love creating a sacred space for myself where, like, I focus in and I'm like, this is where I'm gonna pray and meet God. But, like, if you're a mom and you have three kids, give yourself grace and understand that, like, first of all, the Lord is with you and honoring every second that you're a mom. It's the greatest, most difficult, most rewarding job you can have. And so God is already with you. He's already in you. And, like, he. He's aware of your heart. He's aware of the time that you don't have. But I would just say pray without ceasing. Pray all day. Pray as you' the dishes. Pray while you're breastfeeding. I've heard that those moments in the night that you're breastfeeding your child, I've heard women be like, please don't get on your phone during that time. You're missing out on this moment where as your child is so dependent on you to be fed, to be full you. It, like, literally symbolizes and represents our relationship with God where we are so dependent on him and he's our life source. And so I've heard women say that, like, when they're breastfeeding is the moment where they connect with God the most. And those like, little quiet Moments in the night to just have a conversation with God. And prayer doesn't have to be this long, structured, formulated thing where you have to get on your knees and, like, you can't do anything else. Like, it's a conversation. And I was even walking back from Pilates this morning, from Pilates to my house, and I had spent time with Jesus in the morning, and I was about to get on my phone and call someone, and I felt the Holy Spirit be like, hi. And I literally put my phone in my pocket, and I was like, hi, Holy Spirit. I love you so much. And I said, God, would you let the spirit of intercession fall on me? Would you let the spirit of intercession come upon me right now? All of a sudden, as I'm walking five minutes, literally, the spirit of intercession comes on me. I start interceding so powerfully for somebody in my life. I am going in warfare prayers. Five minutes on a walk, on the go. And it was so powerful and so random, and I had no intention. And, yeah, I would just encourage you to take every. Like, every moment can be a moment of prayer, you know, and it doesn't need to look like something. It doesn't need to look like I'm gonna get rid of everything else and be in this still place. Like, if you're a mom. Yeah, just pray without ceasing. Just continually have a conversation. Jesus, I need you. I don't know what to do right now, so I need you. You. That's a prayer.
