2 Steps in the Right Direction

Praying Boldly: How to Ask God for Your Heart’s Desires with Confidence


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Yahreema McFarlane shares a lesson from the typical, chaotic morning with multiple kids.

Amid the rush to get everyone ready and out the door, her oldest daughter Eileen’s simple ask for lunch reveals a truth we can all relate to: sometimes we don’t ask for what we really need because we’re just trying to get through the day.

Yahreema shows us that if we’re not clear in our requests—to each other or to God—we might just miss out. Whether it’s about trusting God with our true desires or getting more intentional with our everyday prayers, there’s strength in letting go of fear and asking openly.

What to Expect in This Episode:

  • How to approach God with boldness 
  • How to release the fear of hearing “no” in prayer and life
  • What expecting God's “yes” and breaking out of habits that hold us back from asking looks like practically
  • Understand the impact of “disguised desires” and recognizing the simplicity of asking with faith
  • The benefit of bringing our true needs and desires to God without hesitation
  • 2 Steps into the Right Direction Reflection:

    Reflect and ask yourself: “What am I withholding in prayer because I’m afraid of the answer?” Spend time bringing that honest, unfiltered need to God, believing He desires to answer with love and wisdom.
