What exactly is so powerful about prayer? Have you wondered how or why you should build a healthy prayer life and what steps you should take to pray effectively and grow in your faith? Today’s guest, Leighann McCoy, provides wisdom about talking to God and letting Him meet you where you are in your faith. She offers reassurance about our current habits, tips on how to grow in our daily practice of faith, and resources on why we should pray at all.  When asked if we should even pray if God already knows the answers, she offers: “God is all about the BIG. But He will also be about all the minute details of our personal lives.” 

McCoy is often asked the greater purpose in prayer.  McCoy states, “The main purpose of prayer is for God to answer us." She goes on to discuss how we should discern the voice of God from the voice of our enemy, and how we can grow our prayers with others or alone just by following a few simple steps.
