​Dear Precious Ministry Partners,
 
As we move from July into August, I simply want to say thank you for your faithful prayers, encouragement, and financial support. Because of your partnership, lives are being changed through the love and hope of Jesus Christ.
 
This summer, our nation celebrated America’s 250th birthday, reminding us of God’s faithfulness through every generation. As we enter the final months of 2026, let’s purpose to finish the year strong! I truly believe God is still writing each of our stories, and the best is yet to come.
 
One of the greatest keys to finishing well is spending daily time with the Lord in the secret place. As we seek Him first, He gives us wisdom, peace, strength, and direction for every season.
 
As our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren return to school, let’s faithfully cover them in prayer. May they be protected by the blood of Jesus, surrounded by God’s favor, taught of the Lord, blessed with godly friendships, and strengthened to make wise choices each day.
 
Because of Your Partnership…
Because of your faithful prayers and generous support, Women Warriors continues to impact lives each month in Missouri and Oklahoma as women are encouraged, equipped, and strengthened in their walk with Christ.
 
We’re also excited about our upcoming Deep Calls to Deep Leadership Conference in August, where leaders will gather to be refreshed and equipped for greater Kingdom impact.
 
Preparations are well underway for our October Women’s Conference, “God Is Still Writing My Story.” We are believing for women to encounter God’s restoring love and leave with renewed hope, purpose, and courage for the next chapter He is writing.
 
Thank you for investing in lives that are being transformed for the Kingdom of God. We are grateful to have you serving alongside us.
 
With love and appreciation,
Pastor Marilyn 

Dear Friends and Partners,

What a beautiful month May has already been. As we celebrated Mother’s Day, my heart was filled with gratitude for the loving and caring mother God blessed me with. Mothers truly leave fingerprints on our hearts through their prayers, sacrifices, encouragement, and unconditional love. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, spiritual mother, or someone who simply pours into others with love and faithfulness, we honor and celebrate you this month.

Lately, I have been reflecting on the difference between strength and endurance. Strength helps us through a moment, but endurance carries us through a season. God is calling His people not only to be strong, but to keep running the race set before us with perseverance, faith, and grace, just as Hebrews 12:1 encourages us.

And in those longer seasons, when the road feels a little heavier and the pace a little slower, I am reminded of the promise in Isaiah that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. There is such comfort in knowing that as we lean into Him, He is faithful to refresh, restore, and carry us forward right on time.

I truly believe the Lord is strengthening women in this season in spirit, soul, and body, and He is imparting fresh endurance for the days ahead. Even when life feels stretching or demanding, God is faithful to renew us and help us move forward with courage and hope.

We are so excited about several upcoming ministry opportunities and would love for you to be a part: Women Warriors continues each month in Enid, Oklahoma and in the Branson area as we gather for fellowship, encouragement, worship, and the Word of God.

Deep Calls to Deep Leadership Conference on Saturday, August 22
Women in Business Leadership Conference on Saturday, October 24
Annual Marilyn Murray Ministries Women’s Conference on October 9 & 10 To find out more about these events, please visit marilynmurrayministries.com.

We are believing these gatherings will be powerful times of refreshing, restoration, leadership growth, and spiritual encouragement.

Thank you for your continued prayers, your love, and your faithful support of Marilyn Murray Ministries. You help us continue reaching hearts and ministering hope to so many precious people.

I am praying this month that you will be strengthened, refreshed, and filled with renewed endurance for every step of your journey.

With love and gratitude,
Marilyn Murray

Dear Precious Friend & Partner,

As we come to the close of March and step into the beauty of spring, we are surrounded by gentle reminders that new life is always possible.

The earth begins to bloom again… What once looked dormant begins to awaken…

And in this sacred season, we are also reminded of something even more powerful that Easter is not just a moment… it’s a message.  A message that nothing is too far gone for God to restore.

This year, the word the Lord placed in our hearts is: RESTORE : “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten…” – Joel 2:25

And Easter beautifully reveals how God restores…
Through Jesus— what was broken was redeemed…
what felt finished was resurrected…
what looked lost was brought back to life.

Sweet friend… this means your story is not over.

The cross reminds us we are deeply loved. The resurrection reminds us there is always hope.

Even in places that feel: delayed – disappointed - or quietly weary. God is still at work.

With deep gratitude we want to take a moment to say Thank You. Your faithful prayers, your generosity, and your encouragement allow us to continue sharing the love of God and the hope of restoration with so many.

Because of you, lives are being touched, hearts are being renewed and women are finding strength to move forward again. We are truly grateful for you.​

With love and gratitude,
Marilyn

Dear Women of Divine Design,
What an unforgettable time we shared at the Divine Design Women’s Conference! From beginning to end, the presence of God filled every moment, surpassing our greatest hopes, dreams, and imaginations. We are still rejoicing over all that the Lord did in our midst, the worship, the Word, the laughter, the tears, and the beautiful sense of sisterhood that united us as His daughters.

Your presence made the weekend truly special. Each of you brought something unique and radiant. Your faith, your joy, and your hunger for more of God created an atmosphere where His Spirit could move freely.

We are excited to keep the fire burning! You are warmly invited to join our Women Warriors Gathering on the last Tuesday of each month, a time of prayer, encouragement, and connection as we continue to grow together in purpose and power. For info visit marilymurrayministries.com/womenwarriors.

Dear Beloved Ministry Partners,

What does it truly mean to honor?

We live in a time when many have never experienced the honor—or the presence—of God. In today’s culture, honor is often no longer passed down from parent to child. With the breakdown of the family unit, too many children are growing up without the example of godly leadership in the home. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 17.6 million children—nearly 1 in 4—now live without a biological, step, or adoptive father.

But God’s design for the family—and for honor—has never changed.

“Honor your father and your mother.Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” —Exodus 20:12

Psalm 8:5 tells us that God crowned mankind with glory and honor. Even though Adam’s sin brought spiritual separation, Jesus—our Redeemer—restored what was lost. Hebrews 2:9 says: “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.”

Through Jesus, honor has been restored. Authority has been given back to His bride—the Church. He entrusted us with His mission: to go into all the world, make disciples, and carry His presence wherever we go.

I want to share a personal story that has stayed with me all these years.

When I turned sixteen, I believed I was deeply in love with a very handsome young man. One day, he surprised me with a diamond ring. I was thrilled. I remember running to show my father, thinking he’d celebrate with me. But my dad, full of wisdom, looked me gently in the eyes and simply said, “You’re too young to accept a diamond ring.”

At the time, I felt crushed. But deep down, I was thankful. Even in his “no,” my father was honoring me—protecting my future, helping me understand that the ring wasn’t just a piece of jewelry,but a covenant. That moment taught me something powerful: true love is willing to protect, even when it’s not popular.

This is the kind of honor we must teach and model in our homes and churches today. The world needs to see families honoring one another, and believers honoring God’s Word and His ways.When we honor God’s design, His blessing follows.

Thank you for standing with us in this ministry. Together, we’re building a generation that understands and walks in honor, purpose, and power.

Let’s continue to witness His restoration, walk in His promises, and carry the honor He’s placed on His Church.

With love and gratitude,

Dear Beloved Partners,

We are living in a world where everyone is either failing, surviving, or thriving. But as children of God, we are called to THRIVE! The Bible teaches us why people fail and how we can build a firewall of spiritual protection.

From Adam and Eve, we learn the importance of listening to the voice of our Good Shepherd rather than the opinions of others. Cain teaches us that envy opens a portal to failure—when we covet another’s success instead of celebrating. Lot’s wife reminds us that looking back prevents us from moving forward. Failure is not an option in the Kingdom of God, for He desires us to live from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). He has destined us to succeed!

Our ability to thrive is rooted in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. When He conquered death, He secured our victory over failure, sin, and limitations. Because He lives, we have the power to rise above challenges and walk in divine abundance. His resurrection ensures us that we are no longer bound by the struggles of the past, but instead, we can embrace a future filled with His promises. Just as Christ was raised to life, we too are called to rise into a life of thriving, living as testimonies of His grace and power.

Philippians 1:6 tells us that God, who began a good work in us, is faithful to complete it. He doesn’t want us merely surviving—He wants us thriving! If we use a biblical metaphor, failure is Egypt, survival is the desert, and thriving is the Promised Land. Jesus did not die on the cross and rise again for us to live in bondage or lack. He desires for us to flourish so that we may be a blessing to others, an answer to someone’s prayer, a reflection of His glory and power.

How do we move from surviving to thriving? It’s through the work of sanctification. Sanctification is a daily work of grace. It takes our wounds and turns them into healed scars that testify of his victory in our lives.
We are deeply grateful for your prayers, love, and unwavering support of Marilyn Murray Ministries. Because of you, we can share the message of hope, touch hearts, and bring God’s light to those in need. Thank you for being part of this journey as we press forward in faith together.

Stay connected with us through Facebook, YouTube, and our website at marilynmurrayministries.com for upcoming events and ministry updates. Let’s continue to witness His restoration, walk in His promises, and celebrate the overflowing abundance of His love.

May His peace and grace fill every area of your life.

With love and gratitude,
Marilyn
