Summer is here! But let’s be honest—while the sunshine and freedom are beautiful, this can quickly become a season of chaos. With school out and normal routines thrown right out the window, our days can become packed, loud, and overwhelming. What we need right now—what our hearts really need—is to slow down. We need to pause, breathe, and simply be still. And that’s exactly what we’re praying about In today’s Porch Prayer. Let us pray…. If you have specific prayer requests today, please leave them in the comments below. I would love to lift you up in prayer this week. Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God.” ------------------------------------------------------ Want to learn more about me and my adorable dog, Toto? 🐾 Check out our story: https://www.julieosborne.com/about For more videos, inspiring stories, and cute dog memes, sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter! ✉️ Sign Up Here: http://eepurl.com/bGW0nD 🔔 And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don’t miss a thing! ~ CONNECT WITH ME ~ Website: https://www.julieosborne.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJulieOsborne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozandtoto/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/author-julie-osborne/ #prayers #prayerrequest #scripture #bestill #psalm4610 #AuthorJulieOsborne #spiritualgrowth #summerofstillness #christianauthor #Porchprayer #bestillandknow #slowdown

We all love comfort. In fact, chasing a comfortable life can easily become our ultimate goal. But Jesus flips the script, calling us to “take up our cross DAILY.” (Luke 9:23) That is anything but comfortable. Yet, it’s often in our deepest trials that draw us closer to the Lord. That is exactly what we’re bringing to Him in today’s Porch Prayer. Let’s pray… 🙏 👇 How can I pray for you this week? If you have specific needs today, please leave them in the comments below.

We witnessed restoration first hand, as we saw it unfolding right before our eyes on the beach. True restoration flows from the power of the Holy Spirit living within us, and it often begins with the brave step of repentance—taking responsibility for the brokenness we may have caused. From there, we release the hurt caused by others and choose to forgive. These steps open the door for a true restoration of relationships. May you feel God’s healing and restorative power in your life today. Let us pray... How can I pray for you today?

Something is happening on our beach! 🌊 It’s a Beach Restoration Program, and I was in awe watching the process unfold recently. It is vital when erosion takes its toll, but it’s not just for the sandy shores. We all need restoration in our lives! Restoration is a beautiful thing. It’s the process of returning something to its original—or even better—condition. Whether it’s a beach or a heart, the work is intentional and transformative. While we often try to restore ourselves by walking along beautiful beaches like this, God’s creation cannot do what the Creator does. We need more than a recharge, and 1 Peter 5:10 provides guidance here. "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." We cannot fix ourselves. True restoration is divine work. May you take time each day to be in His presence to be filled with His restorative power. 🙌 And check out my Facebook page for more posts on our theme of restoration: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJulieOsborne/ ------------------------------------------------------ Want to learn more about me and my adorable dog, Toto? 🐾 Check out our story: https://www.julieosborne.com/about For more videos, inspiring stories, and cute dog memes, sign up for our bi-weekly newsletter! ✉️ Sign Up Here: http://eepurl.com/bGW0nD 🔔 And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don’t miss a thing! ~ CONNECT WITH ME ~ Website: https://www.julieosborne.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJulieOsborne/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozandtoto/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/author-julie-osborne/ #bible #biblestudy #scripture #bible101 #bibleteaching #biblefacts #biblestudyforwomen #biblebites #biblebits #JulieOsborne #AuthorJulieOsborne #spiritualgrowth #godsword #faith #christianauthor #AuthorJulieOsborne #Restoration #1Peter510 #dredging #Transformation #porchprayers #beachrestoration Thanks for tuning in as we journey through the Bible together - a bit at a time!

It has been almost a decade since Toto’s "Gotcha Day," and today we are going back to the very beginning. I had the incredible honor of catching up with the women who saved him: our heroes, Julie and Carri Wilson from 4 Precious Paws Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic. In this special interview, we dive into the raw, firsthand accounts of the conditions Toto survived before his rescue. We also share the surprising story of why—believe it or not—I almost didn’t adopt him! Join us for this heartfelt conversation about the power of rescue and the people who make happy endings possible.

Peace is our prayer this week. It is a peace that surpasses all understanding because it comes from God. Let’s take a moment right now to thank the Lord for his gift of peace-an anchor that remains unshaken by wars, personal challenges, or the noise of the world around us. Whatever you are facing today, may you feel His presence strongly and be at peace. How can I pray for you today? Please leave your request in the comments.
