If you’ve been praying for years but still feel like you’re “talking at God” more than talking with Him, you are not alone. Many of us were taught words to pray, but not how to let God actually form a praying heart inside of us. 🙏
In Episode 1 of this series, we start right where the disciples did: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Together we’ll slow down, open Scripture, and let Jesus (with a little help from Andrew Murray’s “With Christ in the School of Prayer”) show us what real, living prayer looks like for an ordinary, everyday life.
In this gentle conversation, we’ll look at:
- Why “more information about prayer” still leaves your heart feeling dry
- The difference between saying prayers and actually praying
- How formation (being shaped by God) changes the way you come to Him
- Simple ways to bring your real thoughts, worries, and joys into prayer
- How to start praying with honesty instead of performance or pressure
- Encouragement for women who feel like they “should be better at prayer by now”
This is not a new formula to master. It’s an invitation to let the Holy Spirit slowly shape you into a woman who lives with God, not just visits Him in crisis. If you’re longing for a deeper, more natural way to pray—beyond guilt, scripts, or spiritual striving—this episode is for you. 💛
Tell me in the comments:
What part of prayer feels the hardest for you right now—starting, staying focused, being honest, or believing God is listening?
