Do you? Honestly answer these ten questions. Have you heard so many stories of pain that it's difficult to hear one more? Do you feel like you've reached your emotional pain threshold? Have you experienced toxic systems (difficult boss, a confusing legal system,...
As I was teaching my Writer Mastermind groups this week, I confessed something there that I realized I should confess here at MaryDeMuth.com. I have career regrets. If I were to visit my younger writer self, I would've given myself a good talking to. Here are five...
I do not do well with indoor house plants. You can ask my daughter Sophie about this because she gave me very precise instructions about how not to kill my fiddle leaf fig, and it has already sported brown spots of death. Last week I was working in my yard, and I...
I am guilty of preparing to live rather than actually living in the moment. This is something God is unveiling before me this year, and it's difficult to face. I'll give you an example. This year we were able to finally realize a backyard dream of erecting a pergola...
This is a first in a series of confessions from me. I pray my own wrestling brings hope and health to you. So late last month, I penned a prayer to the Lord about my frustration with my weight. You can read it here: Although I eat well and exercise fairly consistently...
A little over three years ago, my 365 devotional, Jesus Every Day, released. In January of 2018, I attended my yearly Mastermind retreat, asking what would be a unique way to get the word out for the devotional where I basically prayed people through the Bible in one...
I met Shelly Carvan when my heart was in shreds, soon after our family came home battered from the mission field in France. We attended the same Life Group at church, and I distinctly remember talking to her in the hallway outside of class, knowing immediately that I...

This is one of those posts I am starting that I don't know how it will end. During this time of Covid, racial tension, and employment worries, I (like you) have had some space to observe my life. And something has bothered me. I get mad when I see someone offer grace...
I am terrible at celebrating. Ask my husband. I flit from thing to thing, seldom stopping to cherish a moment or celebrate a milestone. Can you relate? I'm reading a really helpful book right now called Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg. It's been the habit book...
I remember picking up my first Bible study book when I was probably sixteen years old. I turned it over, looked at it like an anomaly. Why? Because I was an unchurched girl, recently converted, and I had zero idea about the Christian culture, Bible studies, or even...
I'm so grateful to share a milestone with you. The Pray Every Day Podcast is officially two years old today. CUE JOY! It's been downloaded over a half a million times. It's available on your Alexa device. And it's an app! It's supported by listeners like you over at...
