Circle Time for The Soul Daily Devotional | Bible Study, Christian Women, Faith Community, Morning Prayer, Trusting God
Your Go-To Podcast for Christian Women Seeking Spiritual Growth, Encouragement, and a Stronger Faith Walk. ***TOP 1% PODCAST IN CHRISTIANITY*** Are you struggling to hear from God? Do you want to spend time in His Word every day but your faith ends up on the back burner? Do you wish you were a part of a community of faith-filled women growing in their relationship with Jesus? If so, you’re in the right place! 💕 Hey ya’ll! I’m Diana Marie, a teacher, and woman of God. I have been on a faith journey for nearly 30 years, and have often struggled with consistency in the Word, wondering if I’m praying ”right”, and wondering if I’m hearing from God or if it’s just my own thoughts. It wasn’t until I faced a couple valleys of my own that I was able to realize that in order to develop the spiritual disciplines and habits that kept me on the path to seeking God - and hearing from Him - it would require seeking Him on a daily basis so I can continue to grow in my relationship with Him. In this podcast, you will boost your faith with weekly memory verses, feel refreshed by daily devotionals, and start your day with prayer so you can feel comfortable in your faith journey. I’ve learned that to grow in faith, you need a few key ingredients: regular time in God’s Word, a community of fellow believers who’ve been around the block, and the knowledge that you’re right where you’re supposed to be. So, if you’re ready to: ✨ Finally find some friends who’ve got your back on your journey with God ✨ Connect with a community of believers who’ve been down this road before, and ✨ Gain some rock-solid confidence in the amazing plan that God’s got for your life, Guess what? This podcast is for your friend. 🫂 Now, no need to dress up – grab your coffee, tea, or whatever you fancy ☕️ , get comfy, and let’s kick off our shoes for a bit of soul-nourishing conversation. Ephesians 3:20-21 ”Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!” You Are So Loved, Diana Marie — YOUR NEXT STEPS! — *Accept Jesus Into Your Heart* — https://lp.billygraham.org/find-peace-with-god/ Visit Our Website: https://circletimeforthesoul.com/ Join The Private Facebook Group! — www.facebook.com/groups/circletimeforthesoul “Christian Women Growing in Faith” Order a “For The Soul” Prayer Journal - circletimeforthesoul.com/journal Email — hello@circletimeforthesoul.com

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a gentle invitation to remember the nearness of God in seasons of sorrow and the hope we hold through Christ. We’re wrapping up our study of 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 with a powerful recap on how God comforts us in our suffering so we can extend that same comfort to others.
From personal stories of grief to timeless hymns and Scripture, this episode reminds us that we are never alone—God is the Father of compassion and the Friend who stays closer than a brother. We continue our devotional series on Friendship by reflecting on the beauty of being called a friend of God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of who Jesus is. If your heart has been aching or simply needing reassurance today, let this episode minister to you right where you are.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that God’s comfort isn’t just something we receive in the highs—it’s something we lean on in the lows. We’re continuing our scripture study in 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 and talking about what it truly means to walk with God through suffering, trials, and the unexpected. Spoiler: your trials are not wasted—they carry generational impact and deep spiritual purpose.
Plus, we’re diving into Day 4 of our devotional on Friendship, exploring the concept of “The Close and the Crowds.” Jesus had compassion for the masses but also invested deeply in a small group of disciples. What does that balance look like for us today? And how do we move past labels like “introvert” or “extrovert” and simply ask God, “Who do You need me to be?” This episode is a loving nudge to open your hands, trust God’s plans, and believe—no matter what you’re facing—you’re going to make it. No doubt about it.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a midweek reset for your soul—an invitation to pause, check in, and draw near to the God who comforts, strengthens, and walks with us through every season. As we continue our study of 2 Corinthians 1:3–7, we reflect on how God uses both our suffering and our healing to encourage others, just as He did with Paul.
We’re also diving into Day 3 of the “Friendship” devotional by Gregg Matte, where we explore what it means to not only be loved by Jesus, but to be friends with Him through our obedience. If you’ve ever wondered what true intimacy with God looks like—or how to navigate friendships in different spiritual seasons—this episode will speak right to your heart.
Sis, let this be your moment to breathe, reflect, and remember: you are known, loved, and never walking alone.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that comfort isn’t just something we receive—it’s something God uses to strengthen us and prepare us to pour into others. We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 and exploring how God’s compassion isn’t passive—it equips us. We also continue our devotional study from Friendship by Gregg Matte with a powerful truth: Jesus was a friend of sinners, not to participate in their sin, but to show them another way—a better way.
If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate relationships that stretch your comfort zone, or how to love others well without losing your footing, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking what it means to be a reflection of Christ’s love while setting wise boundaries. Plus, we talk about how pride can keep us from receiving the comfort God sends through others—and how humility opens the door to deeper healing and connection.
Let this episode remind you: God’s comfort strengthens, equips, and flows through us. And yes, Sis—there’s still more beautiful connections ahead in your journey.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a heartfelt invitation to reflect on friendship, loneliness, and the deep comfort we find in Christ. We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 1:3–7 and kicking off a brand new devotional study on Friendship by Gregg Matte—beginning with Day 1: Loneliness. If you’ve ever felt unseen or disconnected, this message is for you.
Diana shares her own high school prayers for real friendship, how God answered them in time, and the reminder that Jesus Himself modeled deep, intentional relationships. You’ll be encouraged to lean into the truth that you’re not forgotten—God is already at work preparing the friendships your heart longs for. Plus, don’t miss the inside scoop on the upcoming Faith Restored Workshop—your chance to reconnect with God and rediscover spiritual rhythms that fit your real life.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder to loosen our grip on our own plans and lean into the peace that comes from trusting God’s will—moment by moment. We finish our scripture study in Luke 6:46–49 with a recap of the parable of the wise and foolish builders, highlighting the difference between simply hearing God’s Word and actually living it out. We reflect on how building our lives on Christ provides unshakable strength in every storm, and how His truth is our safest foundation.
We also dive into Day 5 of the devotional Mental Health: How Are You…For Real? with a timely conversation about emotional exhaustion and divine provision. If you’ve been feeling worn out by pressure—whether from your circumstances or your thoughts—this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and receive the rest Jesus freely offers.
And in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m also sharing a free resource for those ready to explore faith-based therapy as part of their healing journey.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that growth in our faith is a journey—and every stage matters. We’re diving into Luke 6:46–49 where Jesus paints a vivid picture of the difference between building on solid ground versus shaky soil. It’s not just about hearing His words—it’s about living them out, especially when the storms come.
We also continue our Mental Health: How are you…for real!? devotional series with Day 4: Grow, my child!, reflecting on what it means to move from spiritual infancy to maturity. Whether you feel like you’re just beginning or already rooted in your faith, this episode will help you recognize your growth and extend grace to others who are still on their way.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, behind, or unsure where you stand in your walk with God, this episode will remind you that spiritual growth takes time, grace, and a whole lot of love. Let’s stay rooted in Him—together.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that pride often disguises itself as strength—but it can quietly keep us from seeking the help we so desperately need.
We’re continuing our study in Luke 6:46–49 and moving into Day 3 of our devotional, Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?, with a powerful reflection on what it means to surrender our will to God. Jesus paints a vivid picture of a life built on the rock—one that stands firm when the storms of life hit. But that foundation isn’t just about knowing His words—it’s about living them.
We’ll also talk about how pride can lead us to strive, panic, or even blame God…when all along, He’s inviting us to simply ask for help. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been rowing through life in your own strength, this episode will encourage you to let go of the oars and let Jesus lead.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that God’s wisdom often won’t make sense by worldly standards—and that’s a good thing. We’re diving into Luke 6:46–49 to explore what it means to truly live out God’s Word, not just hear it. This passage invites us to build our lives on the solid foundation of obedience, trust, and truth—especially when life feels uncertain.
Then, in Day 2 of our devotional “Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?” we’re talking about spiritual exhaustion: how to recognize it, how Jesus meets us in it, and why your rest matters just as much as your work. If your heart feels tired or your faith rhythm has been off, this episode is your gentle reminder that Jesus invites you to lay it all down—and be filled again.

Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a heartfelt reminder that prayer is never a last resort—it’s our first and most powerful response. We reflect on Luke 6:46–49, where Jesus calls us to not just hear His Word, but to build our lives on it. Through today’s devotional, “Mental Health: How Are You…For Real?”, we explore the real and spiritual weight of fear, and how God meets us through it—not by removing it, but by strengthening us in the process.
If you’ve been overwhelmed by uncertainty or trying to hold it all together alone, this episode will remind you that Jesus is your solid foundation and safe haven. Let it encourage you to shift your focus from what’s frightening to the One who’s already overcome it all.
