Want to pray more but not sure where to start? Prayer is a wonderful, powerful privilege that gives us instant connection to the God of the universe. But, if we’re honest, it can also feel a bit daunting.

Historical images of prayer, both literal and figurative, give off the impression that our communication with God should be deeply rooted in religious formality. You know the kind: kneeling with our heads bowed and hands delicately clasped together. Not only is that kind of prayer often difficult to achieve with modern time constraints, but it doesn’t fully capture the kind of ‘open-24-hours’ communication that God desires with us.

In this podcast episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender discuss what prayer is: “life in constant communion and conversation with God.” They debunk common stereotypes around prayer and share easy-to-follow prayer structures for the times when you’re unsure of where to start or what to say. There’s power in any kind of prayer, anywhere—and God delights in hearing from us every single time.

“God cares about what we care about and wants us to talk to him about it.” —Darlene Brock
