A weekly letter for women walking with God in the everyday

For the woman doing the everyday,
with her hand still in His.

The Stillwater Letters is a free weekly email of prayer, scripture, and honest words for Christian women navigating daily life — the seasons no one teaches you to walk through, and the ordinary ones in between. Written by a woman in the middle of it with you, for the fellowship of women growing closer to God together.

Free, forever. Unsubscribe in one tap. Plus the 21-day prayer journal, on the house.

"He leads me beside still waters."

For the woman doing the everyday, with her hand still in His.


Most of what I read for years came from women who'd already made it to the other side. Polished. Resolved. Wrapped up in a verse and a hashtag. And I am grateful for them. But I needed something else too.

I needed a voice from inside the same everyday I was in — the morning rush, the things I keep getting wrong, the prayers that feel small, the tiredness that doesn't lift. I needed someone to say I'm here too, and God is still good, and I don't have it all figured out either.

So I started writing the letters I wished someone would send me. Every Tuesday morning. Honest. Scriptural. Short enough to read with a coffee before the day begins, deep enough to actually pray.

The Stillwater Letters is for women who want to grow closer to God in the middle of ordinary life — not later, not when the kids are older, not when the diary calms down. Now. With a community of other women doing the same.

You are welcome here. There is no programme to finish, no ladder to climb. Just a weekly reminder that you are seen, that prayer still works, and that the still waters are real even when the week isn't quiet.

— Alice

P.S. — If something on your heart needs prayer, write to me directly. alice@thestillwaterletters.com.au. Real inbox, real reply.

One letter. Every Tuesday. No noise.

The Stillwater Letters is the opposite of a content firehose. One short letter a week — written, not generated. Read it with your coffee. Sit with it. Pray it.

  • A scripture for the week
  • A short, honest reflection from everyday life
  • A guided prayer you can actually pray
  • A journaling prompt for one quiet moment
  • A way to lift up someone else who's struggling

For when you need someone to pray with you, not just at you.

A small, private community of women holding each other up in prayer. Real intercession, real names, real follow-through. Not a feed.

I open The Stillwater Letters on Tuesday mornings before the kids are up. It's the only thing in my inbox that doesn't want something from me. I cried at the third one and I wasn't sad, I was relieved.

I have not had a quiet time in nine months. The Tuesday letter is short enough that I can do it. That sounds small. It is not small. It got me back to praying.

Every other Christian email is trying to sell me a course. This one is just trying to remind me God hasn't left. Forwarded it to my sister-in-law who is going through it too.

The next letter goes out Tuesday morning.

One quiet email. A 21-day prayer journal. A community that prays for you, by name, when you can't.
