Listen Later

Hi, friend!

What happens when you're thousands of miles from home, feeling completely lost, and cry out "God, help me"? In this powerful episode of God's Power Stories, British author Rachel Britton shares how one desperate three-word prayer changed everything.

Rachel takes us on her journey from a rule-heavy Christian upbringing in England to feeling disconnected from God in her twenties. When a job opportunity brought her and her husband to Massachusetts with a six-week-old baby, Rachel found herself isolated, overwhelmed, and questioning her identity. It was in that moment of complete desperation that she discovered the transformative power of simple, natural prayer.

You'll discover:

  • How God orchestrates circumstances to draw us closer to Him
  • The difference between religious rules and genuine relationship with God
  • Why simple prayers can be more powerful than elaborate ones
  • Biblical insights from Old Testament women like Miriam and Naomi
  • The Hebrew concept of "hesed" - God's unfailing kindness
  • How prayer naturally flows from authentic relationship with God
  • Practical guidance for those who struggle with what to say when they pray

    • Rachel's story beautifully illustrates Isaiah 65:1 - God saying "Here I am, here I am" to those who haven't called on His name. Her new book "Pray Naturally" offers 120 reflections on Old Testament women with guided prayers to help you develop your own natural conversation with God.

    This episode is perfect for anyone who feels intimidated by prayer or wonders if God really hears their simplest cries for help. This episode will encourage you that God is always standing with arms outstretched, ready to respond to your heart's honest call.

    May you reach out to God with one simple prayer of your own today, my friend.

    Always, Anna
