65: Drawing Prayer Circles


Listen Later

As you likely know, our family is going through a double-family crisis, which has massively impacted my prayer life. Because I'm so focused on prayer during this mega-hard season, I wanted to vulnerably talk about some things I'm learning, things I'm still struggling with, and things I'd love to share to hopefully help strengthen your prayer life, too. ♥️

As Mark Batterson says in his book, Draw the Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge: "If it seems like God isn't moving in our lives, maybe it's because we're not moving."

Here's a little piece of advice: work like it depends on you, and pray like it depends on God… because dreams (and prayers) don't work unless you do (I explain this in the episode). 🙏

In this episode, you'll hear:

💫 What to do when darkness seems to engulf.

💫 Why Joshua 3:8 is so significant (the story when God tells the priests to step into the rushing river BEFORE they had any idea it would be parted).

💫 Why praying and then simply hoping it's answered might not be what God wants.
