When You Pray Guided Prayer

As a conclusion for the When You Pray series of podcast episodes, we’re offering something a little different today. This episode is a guided prayer episode. So, you might want to come back to it another time or take a moment to get into a posture of prayer before listening, both in your physical posture—you may prefer to sit, kneel, or walk—and in the posture of your soul. You’ll hear the women of When You Pray lead you through different kinds of prayers with space built in for you to voice your own prayers to God. You might prefer to say those out loud or grab a notebook to jot them down. Feel free to pause the podcast at any time. We’d recommend listening to this one at normal speed.
