Prayer is our direct communication with God and a way to grow into a deeper walk with Him. So, is your prayer life mature or shallow? Are you praying to God only for what He can do for you or what you can do for him? Are you praying to know God better so that you can be an influence on your family and community? Sometimes we only pray for healing or pray when we get anxious, but God is looking to fulfill you constantly so that your faith is strong, and your spirit is encouraged daily. Today, I’m going to talk about what our prayer life can and should look like if we are wanting to be close to God and be a godly influence on those around us. Your family needs a strong woman of God. Your community needs your unique gifts, strengths, and talents that God has given you...but you can’t be used to your full potential until you regularly meet with God and become strengthened and renewed by him.

Today’s episode centers around the Bible verse Ephesians 3:20: “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” God can do unimaginable and wondrous miracles, but often our faith in his abilities is lacking. Are you putting limits on God’s abilities and concern for you? Are your prayers and conversations with God lacking because you’re scared of disappointment? As we study the Bible we can see multiple examples where God went above and beyond answering prayers. He turned water into the best wine and gave it in abundance. He blessed Hannah with not just one son, but three sons and two daughters. God is limitless, but often we put him in a box and allow fear, doubt, and discouragement to overtake us. Today I’m encouraging you to pray with boldness and confidence in our God who is able to do more than you can imagine. Take heart, God’s not dead, he’s not ignoring you, and he cares about your well-being. Trust in God’s wisdom, power, and might. Take God out of your box of limitations!
